How...odd...
Is it just with reading that this happens, or with anything else? Although I can't say I've ever had any such problem, or have even HEARD OF any such problem, it sounds as if you may, for whatever reason, you may be suffering from long-sightedness while you're eating...if everything close to you becomes blurrier, that's what is happening. If it's only with reading text, then I have absolutely no idea.

Basically when i'm eating at my computer for example I stop what i'm doing and stare blankly into space or look at the food. When i've finished I will try and look back at the computer screen and I will not be able to focus on what is infront of me for a couple of minutes.

maybe its something to do with the movement of ure jaw or something, when I open my mouth wide I can't hear much for a few seconds so suppose it can happen with eyes too. :redface:

Isn't there something about men not being able to multi-task very well, perhaps that could be something to do with it?

Not entirely sure how accurate that is, it's just something I remember somebody telling me...

That's just a myth. Men can multitask, we just can't quite do it as well as women for the most part.

It's bad manners to read whilst reading? Surely I'm not the only one who realises that what she just said makes no sense :biggrin:

if you eat haribo-type sweets imported from eastern europe, the sugar concentration can be so tremendously high that it provokes instant but momentary diabetes, which can result in problems in focusing the eyes.
