Why Do I Have Blurred Vision After Reading For 15 Minutes?

My eyes blur after 15 minute of reading and, no matter what I do, I can no longer focus. If I squint and tilt my head, I can read a little longer. I don't seem to have this problem with my mid range (computer) and long range (TV) vision. I am 68, slender, I Jazzercise every day, and I have no other health problems. I wear glasses but my corrected vision (with tri-focals) is 20-20. I have been to the Opthamolgist and he says there is no problem in my eye. Help!!!

    If you read continuously, then the muscles assisting your eye to short focus will have worked a lot, and the muscles assisting you to see distance will have had a long break.  Try looking up from your reading every few minutes and deliberately look at something in the distance.  Then you can go back to reading again.  This is what I was told to do and it seems to work.

      Blurred vision is caused by strain put on your eyes. Sometimes after watching tv computer or reading for a long time results in blurred vision. maybe your eyesight is weaker than average that is why you get a blurred vision after 15 minutes
