When I look down to read the text on my shirt

It's out of focus somewhat with two eyes but when I use one eye, it's not? Should I be concerned?

    And the other eye? Sounds like you're short/long sighted in one eye. An optician will work it out for you.

      I mean that I can look down on my shirt and it's clear when I look down with either eye, but if I look down at the text on my shirt with both eyes, it looks out of focus. When I look in any other direction, I see just fine.

      Michael I'm sorry, I find I want to be flip and tell you to buy another T shirt! But seriously, are there are any real difficulties in your vision, where you really can't see stuff other than looking down at the lettering on your T shirt?

      Either way, see an optician. It doesn't sound like anything is seriousl

      I was concerned about whether or not my vision while looking downward was compromised. It's not as noticeable as when I wear a regular shirt, but I didn't recall ever having difficulty focusing on text in that direction before binocularly. Yes, that sounds a bit flippant, but I understand the response as my query sounds quite minor but I assure you, it wasn't to me when I posted on here. Regardless of what I was told here, I was going to an optician as my checkup is in the next few weeks but I wanted to know if this was an issue worth bringing up to the doc. Thanks for the reply!
