#myopia — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

Major study shows laser eye surgery safe and effective for older teenagers with myopia

👀 Oh wow, the British Journal of Ophthalmology just discovered fish oil might save #kids from wearing glasses in Hong Kong. 🐟🥽 Because obviously, the real way to tackle #myopia is for children to chug omega-3 instead of just squinting less at their screens. 😂

🐟 Diets rich in omega-3 may help ward off short sightedness in kids, say international researchers, while a high intake of saturated fats may boost the risk of the condition

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.

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:

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.

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.

To hell with the eye of the “Me”-holder.

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.
