Having spent 18 years in the American school classroom and as band
director I was pleasantly surprised many times over the years to find
that a student who had been diagnosed with text reading difficulties
that were described as dyslexia did not have ANY problems reading
music. In fact, several students who were having great difficulty
during the rest of their school day excelled at reading the staves.
Dyslexia usually creates reversal and transpositions of characters
thdt miqht makc teh T3XT loohlihe this.sonetdinq (that might make the
TEXT look something like this)  It appears to most who have looked
into it that music and words are decoded in different parts of the
grey matter.
The problems that you and Jane allude to may be more easily explained
by astigmatism (irregularities in the surface of the eye) or
something to be looked at by an eye doctor or (as in the diabetes)
your regular doctor.
