I have noticed this happening too, more worrying, I had noticed when I drive quite a while, when I look in the rear-view mirror, sometimes the view in the mirror is slightly fuzzy, when I look forward, and back in the rear-view mirror again, the view in the mirror is ok. I asked my ophthalmologist (eye specialist) about it ( my thyroids cause all kinds of problems with the eyes so I was worried tthat this could be another problem starting), and she said that it has nothing to do with the thyroid, but is a natural cause of aging.. The muscles and tissues become less flexible so that it takes a moment for the eye to adjust to the different viewing distances. She says it's absolutely normal and nothing to worry about. The combination of extremely dry eyes and the reduced flexibility make it more noticeable... In my case it means I've not been lubricating those eyes enough. ( and sitting at the sewing machine on my time off, and at the computer at work, doesn't help them very much either ) :lol: :wink:

Well you right click on your desktop and click on either properties, options, graphics can't remember which and you click something else then it comes up with rotate screen, either 90, 180 degrees etc., but remember when you want to change it back your mouse works the other way round.

I can't do it on this laptop but works a treat at work. :D

Off to relax my eyes.

The problem I have is that I can't seem to focus on the fabric for too long as it feeds towards the needle. I learned
not to watch the needle, but my eyes seem to want to blur out or not keeping looking at the spot where I'm
steering the fabric. Lucky for me this doesn't happen when steering the car!! :lol:

Does anyone else have trouble with their quilting vision. Quite often I see quilting in reverse - like seeing it in negative so ups are down and downs are up. I mean on photos on here or books, no problem with with quilts 'in the flesh'. Sometimes if I blink I can get it right :?

Yes, all the time! I have to relax my eyes and let the 'other' correct interpretation into my brain. i never thought of turning the page upside down, thanks Margo! Maybe it is the lighting on the picture being different from the lighting in the room.

I always had trouble with those 3-d pictures too.

I haven't noticed this, either. But I do sometimes go cross-eyed while doing the quilting!

It could be where the light source in the room is coming from!! :D Especially if you are sitting with a lamp or other bright light source on one side of the photo, and the light source when the photograph was taken was on the opposite side.

If you are looking at a quilt photo in a book or magazine, and it seems "reversed", try turning the page upside down!! Not recommended for the pictures on the computer! :lol:

I just keep looking at it until I can see what is really happening with the work.
