Yes I have found that sometimes looking at my book from a different angle helps. It wont work all the time though.

Eman,

That is pretty normal, finding a point where the light travels through an undamaged part of the cornea.

Without lenses, chuck a ball at me and I'll miss it.

Slide something off a table just to my right in my periferal vision, i'll see it and catch it no problem at all.

Add me to the list of who's experienced that. :D I used to do it to see details more clearly, such as reading newspaper sized print or sewing.

Thanks Gareth, it's nice to have an explanation for it. :D

Yes! I think it has to do with the way the cone sits in our field of vision. If we look through a slightly different part of the cornea, the steepness of the cone can be mittigated slightly.

When looking at the Snellen chart I find that I can get a slight improvement from my left when moving my head around. This doesn't work with the other eye which has worse KC.
