  1. My Mom's cataracts surgeries aren't covered by her Pharmacare because she needs advanced lenses - not covered by #BCgovernment.

    The government only covers monofocal intraocular lens - when my Mom requires advanced lenses. Government doesn't cover advanced cataracts lenses.

  2. It appears I'm about to have my second encounter with buccaneer eye care. Corneas are growing calcium scale, likely from artificial tears abuse. Treatment is to debride the cornea and wash with 3% dii-sodium EDTA.

    The procedure sounds awfully like one in the Reactor Plant Manual for cleaning fresh water heat exchanges. Or the one used to clean urinal drains to sanitaries.

    Eye version sounds somewhat tamer. Minor procedure with eye numbing like for pressure checks.

  3. University of Southern California: USC ophthalmology resident Rahul Dhodapkar builds smartphone tool to screen for pediatric eye misalignment. “The measurement of this is traditionally done manually, using optical prisms and then covering the eyes. That requires a skilled observer to actually perform the measurement. Our system does that measurement by using a smartphone and AI eye tracking, […]

  4. I visited the ophthalmologist today. It's now 10 years since my Trabeculectomies and pressures are holding steady, with freakishly low IOP. I'm #grateful for that surgery and no longer having to take multiple eye drops every day. If I could only regain the vision that was lost when those very expensive drops stopped working. #eyecare #vision #blindness

    #PSA Get screened for #glaucoma and be religious in taking medication and seeing your eye care professional often.

  5. Wanna help me do all the things I love to do?? (VR, fursuiting, swimming, literally anything that glasses get in the way of) I'm raising money to get my eyes fixed permanently!! If you'd like to help, donate to my ko-fi! #furry #bird #mutualaid #fundraiser #eyecare #pleaserepost

  6. A message for #optometrists #ophthalmologist #eyecare providers, are you reminding people or providing a disclaimer on the eye ware that in my opinion is quite intrusive on an individuals privacy and that of others? #raybans #meta #AI #youthprivacy #adultprivacy #protectprivacy

  10. Eyedrop chat (game-changer for getting them in!)

    I've just gone back on drops, but I am truly shite at getting them in. Like, wasting 3-4 drops every time, multiple times a day.

    This week I've been trying a 'Magic Touch' drop helper, where you put the drop on a thimble-like thing on top of your finger and then just pop it in.

    And ohmygod it's actually fantastic. Like, it works every freaking time. So yeah, if you are also shite at drops then I recommend.

  11. New doctor.
    New eye doctor.
    New dentist.

    Not so fun fact, in America, your dentist and eye doctor are often not included with your health insurance, because oddly, they do not count eye care and dental care as health.

    Yes, we're a broken, backwater, 4th world country when it comes to either health or insurance.

  14. #Protip for #Duolingo — between sets within timed exercises, the clock stops until you press the “Continue” button. Use this mini-break to look up from your device and focus on something in the distance for a few seconds. Your eyes will thank you! #eyecare

  15. I can see again! *(Well, with my left eye, right eye next Monday!)

    Must have pulsed that laser 50 times! #eyecare
