Me neither! Ha! Okay, it's when driving home from a long casino session that I experience a tad of blurred vision. It seems to leave after a half hour or so. No double cars or telephone poles. Just blurred license plates, car logos, driving lanes and speed limit signs. It's probably safe to be on the road and not life threatening! I am not crazy about the obvious that comes to mind to remedy this situation. My husband would be the first to recommend staying away from casinos! Just wondered if others are experiencing this or is it yet another of my special traits?

No blurred vision with me but I sure have some aches and pains, especially in my back and neck..Another thought! DRY eyes...I always take some Thera-Tears with me and use them often..If that is the problem the blurred vision should go right away...

I never had any vision problems til I began to use a computer in the mid 80's.  I soon noticed my eyes wouldn't focus quickly when I looked from computer screen to some point further away.  I experience the same thing looking at a vp machine.  Distance sight is very blurry.
 
I'm convinced that our kids/grandkids will encounter this issue because of all the close-up texting and hand-held gaming they do, although my eye doctor says it won't.  Nonetheless, I've asked my stock broker to be on the lookout for the next best technology for corrective vision. 
 
After a few hours at the machines, eyes are dry, vision is blurry, shoulders, back and neck ache and fingers cramp.  All in a day's work . . .

I keep my eyes fresh while playing VP by constantly looking up at the cocktail waitresses.

The waitresses got tired of me standing on the seat so that I could look down their tops..

The comedy of billy and faygo is a tough act to follow, with a serious note! Thanks for your input and that of Kjohn, buff and sam. The producers of Thera-Tears and Refresh-Plus also thank you immensely for the free advertising. I had never heard of them and will check them out soon.sam, you may have helped countless peeps by sharing your experience! I also drink only diet soda and limit that to twice a day, for a few other reasons. Water is best for all of us! It's a relief to realize I am not alone with this situation, here, and also, per helpful private messages. TYVM! forum to the rescue once again!It has been well publicized that it's important to take frequent breaks when 'putering, riding in cars and on planes, Specifically, to keep the circulation flowing to avoid blood clots and death. This same can apply to playing VP in casinos for long hours. Yet, it's really hard to leave a user friendly VP machine w a magnetic type grip!
