  1. It's always nice when harsh weather hits New York City so that climate change matters for a few minutes. #climate #climatechange #massmedia #myopia

  2. Myopia is ubiquitous in our world, but with kids outside and avoiding eye strain, human development suggests a truly weird trajectory...to wit, kids who use a marker of youth: reading glasses!

  7. @EevaXTiina Kuulostaa aika hyvältä esimerkiltä siitä liki- tai muusta ongelma-näköisyydestä, josta Janne Hukkinen puhui lähtöluennossaan, journal.fi/poliittinentalous/a. Ja tämähän vaivaa kaikkia maita useammallakin sektorilla.

  8. The institutional church is too mean to #witches. #Witchcraft is really subjective and their #trials are #sexism. Who are male priests to say a #spell for #worldpeace or a #hex on #corruption does not involve #Christ's intercession? It's just about framing. #Women especially enjoy the framing of a Jesus within us and we've historically been limited in our control of things. I've listened to too many videos and audio of priests warning me. They don't really get it. Too much #myopia.

  9. Listening to Mary Roach on Replacing Parts of Our Bodies on the Mindscape #podcast was very interesting.

    A thing I learned (and read up): you may be able to wear one contact lens for #myopia and one for #presbyopia (the thing when you get older and need reading glasses) in different eyes and your brain can make use of it. I will surely test this!

    Be warned: There is quite graphic talk about surgery and body parts.

  21. Took 4 tries, but my amazing opthalmologist finally got the right contact lenses for me! They're not as good as my glasses, but fine for biking and other outdoor activities.

  22. A question relating to VR use for people with an optical prescription has had me realise that I might have missed the time window for when I'd have been able to enjoy it.

    I've had myopia, increasingly so, since age ~10.

    For the past 5+ years I've also had presbyopia (where your eye's lenses stiffen as you age, reducing your focal range).

    I mostly wear my "intermediate" glasses around home, as I spend most of my time at the computer. With these I can comfortably focus from around 20cm away up to maybe 2 metres.

    I have a pair of varifocals as well for "out and about". They do *not* work for close up other than something I'm holding low in my vision because I have to be looking out the very bottom of the lenses, and that would mean tilting my head back uncomfortably for viewing a screen around stretch-out-arm fingertip distance away.

    So, any VR is going to have a mix of close up and distance things rendered, yes ? I'm only going to be able to focus on some of that. And given it's whole-scene, and moving my head moves the entire point of view, varifocals wouldn't help. There's no sort of correction that would address this.

    So, it's likely a waste of time me even thinking about VR now.

  25. You know what’s “fun” for me these days?

    Realizing that with my current pair of (myopic) glasses, I can no longer read text on my phone closer than 25cm (10″) away.

    Sure, I can take off my glasses and read the text on my phone while holding it much closer, but then I can't see far anymore.

    #Presbyopia and #Myopia don’t cancel each other out. That‘s what’s “fun.” :NeofoxGlare:

  29. Some people won’t argue that you “should agree” with their opinion of what is beautiful. That doesn’t make it any less unacceptable for you to argue that they should agree with yours.

  30. The latest upsell at the #optometrist is "myopia control" lenses for kids.

    The idea is to slow the progression of #myopia (nearsightedness). About $300 more per pair. Gotta wear them till at least 18 starting at age 8-12.

    But if your kid's like mine & might only need them sometimes... you now HAVE to wear them all the time.

    They also reduce your peripheral vision through the lenses.

    And at $300 per pair, say you buy new ones every couple years, that's around $1500 more.

  33. TRYING TO TREAT MYOPIA 👁️👁️✨
    It worked!

    Also if you didn't know before sun exposure (not direct) is good for eyes.

    How does being outdoors prevent the development of Myopia? (11 June 2024)

    (it's not due to reduction in near work)

  36. #FYI #RedLightTherapy #MacularDegeneration #Myopia #DryEyes #diabetes

    Definitely not a "miracle", but rather promising findings. So if you suffer from any of the mentioned conditions - especially macular degeneration or diabetes - ask your ophthalmologist for advice if this could be an alternative or supportive treatment for you to do at home. Or ask for later update if any further research results are available.

  37. Testing contact lenses to correct my #myopia and additional #glasses for the reading range instead of glasses with progressive lenses for all distances. So great to have a much wider field of vision which is focused. Even with cheap reading glasses from a #drugstore. I think I love this. (And it is much cheaper than #laser #surgery.)

  38. P.S. Surprisingly (to me) my prescription hasn't changed and my eyes are stable, knock on wood. What also hasn't changed: How stressful the "Which one is better? 1 or 2?" test is. (IYKYK) And I've been wearing #glasses since I was 10 and contacts since I was about to turn 14; it never gets easier!
