I started having problems with my eyes last year, same thing, confusing words and leaving words out of sentances. I don't know if it has to do my eyes as it does more to do with my aging brain haha I turned 31 in Nov (Im kidding that Im aging really!!) anyways, I went to the eye docs and told him I was having blurry vision and other things, and he did an exam and found I had astigmatism in BOTH eyes. He said my eyes could not focus fast enough when I look at close up and far off things. Now Ive been to the eye doctors my whole life fairly often and never heard that I had astigmatisms! It was surprising to hear! Anyways, I got glasses that 'fix' the astigmatism and they also are prism lens so they give me depth perception, which Ive never had either! amazing the difference! Id go see your eye doctor and see what he says! It might not be as bad as you think

I know I have astigmatism - have had for a long time but it has never caused these problems before. Maybe I am just getting old.
