Reading makes you cross-eyed...

Nick Shinn

That’s it! No more reading for me :-)

But do you wanna know what makes you go blind?...

I guess Dr. Livingstone never watched his television set sideways. He would have noticed that both eyes see differently right then and there, and when the two separate images come together — voila one good sighting.

Does this mean that people blind in one eye can’t read?

They read differently, I would imagine.
But to exploit that for reading research, subjects who were born with only one working eye would be required — how rare are they?
A significant number of people lose the sight of one eye and continue to read (and even make typefaces, in the case of Fred Goudy), but they have learned to read with both eyes, complicating theory.
