Thanks for testing yourselves, Carol and Amalia Don, thanks for the comments, too. The blinking theory was a hunch, that's all. After all this testing, I'm still sure my "sweet spot" is looking up and to the right around 2:00 with my right eye. To each, their own...

Gary, your idea was interesting, and this is how discoveries are made, I guess.

Gary,
I use my left eye, sweet spot is down at 4:30 to 5:00.
