I have such bad eyesight that I gave up my driver's license. I didn't find it that burdensome to read the comment in question.

You might want to get your eyes checked or read up on other disabilities that can impair reading ability even if your eyesight is fine. If you feel so impinged upon that it makes sense to you to ask a blind person to accommodate your needs and problems, you may have an unidentified handicap.

> so impinged upon

I greatly doubt it was anything more than mildy irritating and the grandparent never implied otherwise.

It's annoying for me to read and I have perfect vision.

Being blind doesn't make you immune to an expectation to be accomodating to others.


So the GP volunteers unasked for feedback and that's cool. I do the exact same thing they did and somehow that makes me the asshole?

I already covered the fact that tracking problems can be due to reasons other than poor eyesight. I even provided supporting links for that assertion.

Part of my background is working for an educational organization that catered to the needs of gifted kids, including twice exceptional kids. It was common for early readers to have tracking problems and for parents to share practical tips on how to cope, as well as talk about at what point to get concerned and get the kids checked for something else.


> somehow that makes me the asshole?

Um. No?

I don't think anyone implied you were. :S
