  2. Good news: We (me and my partner) will get new glasses covered by KELA so my migraines should reduce a bit more. (: Shame we can't afford the color-shade things on them to reduce how flashing lights and bright conditions screw with eyeballs, but at least seeing better will be excellent.

    Neurologist also couldn't write a statement to get them, which is an accessability fail in my opinion.

  4. We’re all paying too much for our #glasses - it’s a total scam. Your $400 designer glasses and lens cost between $8-$15 to make. Thanks to Reddit u/sappk for the following deep dive: “…EssilorLuxottica owns a lot of brands. But laid out together the scope is genuinely staggering. They own Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Costa Del Mar. They manufacture for Prada, Chanel, Versace, Armani, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany, Michael Kors, Coach, Valentino, Tory Burch. Your "Prada glasses" were made in the same Luxottica factory as everything else with a licensing sticker on the temple. They own LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut (3,100+ stores), Pearle Vision, Target Optical, Glasses.com, EyeBuyDirect. €27 billion annual revenue. 18,000+ stores. 150 countries.” #monopoly #eyeglasses #capitalism

  6. Question for the Fediverse:
    I'm in need of new prescription eyeglasses.
    For the last few decades I've been wearing verifocal lenses, which are costly.
    My vision issues are slight myopia and significant astigmatism.
    My question: To save money, could it be practical to get two pairs, I.e., one pair for distance, and a second pair for reading?
    The assumption I'm making is that I could have both acceptable vision and also save money this way.
    I suspect that I'm being impractal rather than practical, but I'd love to have that confirmed or refuted by someone who is knowledgeable.
    Thank YOU.

    :
    The amount for my elderly aunt’s eyeglasses is still not complete. She lost her glasses during the war and urgently needs new ones to see and read properly.
    Please help with any amount you can ❤️

  14. I just ordered new prescription eyeglasses. I hope the prescription is good. I hope the frames fit OK.

    I hope they get here soon.

  15. Nothing to see here? Well, this is a slow moving 🧵 for #skystorians and others about #eyeglasses of the past, about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast Let's roll.

  17. I'm starting to see a trend of people wearing glasses with super thick frames and arms. Almost cartoonishly thick. In my opinion: it’s a mistake. They get in the way of seeing the person. It’s kinda distracting. I want to see you :)

    As an example, here's Katie Phang from Meidas Touch. She's great, btw!

  19. New #metasurfaces, ultra-thin materials made of tiny #nanoantennas that can both amplify and control light in very precise ways, could replace conventional refractive surfaces from #eyeglasses to #smartphone lenses and improve dynamic applications such as augmented reality/virtual reality and #LiDAR.

  21. Transitions

    My glasses have those transitions lenses. You know, they tint themselves in bright light so they act as sunglasses when needed. When the light is dimmer the lenses un-tint themselves.

    Yesterday we got an inch or two of snow. Not much, but enough to need to clean it up. I did a lot of it yesterday when I went out to the store. It snowed enough afterwards that everything was covered again. I went out and shoveled it all this morning, including the path to the side of the house where we keep the trash barrels and in front of the fire hydrant that’s on the end of our property. I also put some ice melt down on the driveway. We’re good to go. Our personal snow removal is complete.

    If you’ve ever been outside after a fresh snowfall you know that it is super bright. If the sun is out, it reflects off the snow and everything around you is super bright. The transitions lenses come in handy on days like this.

    I’ve been back inside for 15 minutes now and the lenses have yet to un-tint themselves. It’s like I am walking around at midnight with all the lights off.

    Fun.
