wardr1,
You would do well to attempt to find those posts made by Mr.Magoo and others regarding the eyesight issue.
Mr.Magoo seems to be a strong subscriber to the Bates Method of eyesight correction (I believe that is what is called) and has helped many wannabes through a seemingly inpenetrable obstacle.
If you are determined to succeed in your ambition you would do worse than to follow the Bates Method.
VFE.
I know this post could easily appear in a Julian Cleary or Graham Norton show but I never chose the names of scientific methods OK?
