New glasses. The BDV/prism part is the same, even though it's gotten a little worse in the last few years, the optomitrist said that since I'm already on a very high prism lens strength, going higher could become unconfortable for me.

Now though, I also have bifocals so that I can read better. And holy shit! Being able to read the small print on packaging again is a joy! I didn't even need to get my maginifying glass out!

Yay my dumb old eyes! This is gonna take some getting used to.

Visited the optometrist today. Still 20/20, but I've got a slight astigmatism, so it's a good chance I'll be needing glasses at some point (if they gestapo doesn't haul me off to the gas chamber first).

The doctor was kind of enough to send me the pictures she took of my retinas. I thought they looked sort of celestial and pretty neat.

Costco's most loyal customers swear by these 9 little-known money-saving perks

Also, related question, but more for other kinds of nerds ig. Do you think blue light blocking glasses are worth it, or should I save my money on that too? Like, I currently wear blue light blocking glasses, and I didn't notice a huge difference since I started wearing them, but maybe they are good for me, and I don't wanna hurt my sleep or anything. Like, I think it could help, since I spend a lot of time on my devices like my phone and various computers.

Question for any nerds out there who might know more than me. I'm getting another pair of glasses from Zenni, and they're offering their infrared light blocking glasses called Zenni ID Guard. From what I see from their marketing, this seems like it might be good, since they say it blocks the infrared light that can be used to track your face. But, tbh, idk if that's just marketing bullshit, or something that actually meaningfully improves privacy. So like, would you recommend these, or should I just save my money?

👀😄 An optometrist confirms crossing your eyes won't get stuck, but involuntary crossing can signal serious health issues like stroke or farsightedness.

Eye check day.

Preparing myself for the phrase "age-related"

A lady came in yesterday for a LASIK evaluation. Getting dilated is part of this evaluation. Getting dilated is also part of a normal yearly exam, however patients sometimes refuse it. Anyway, she had been seen one month prior by our optometrist and was then referred to us for the LASIK eval. She is 48 and she can’t have LASIK….because she has the beginnings of cataracts, which would have been seen a month ago had she not refused dilation. It turns out, after some investigating, she hadn’t been dilated since 2020. Ridiculous.

Y’all get dilated. So what if it’s an inconvenience to your day, it’s the best way to see the health of the back of the eye. If you go somewhere that doesn’t dilate, find somewhere that does. People complain about so much…I hate drops in my eye, the dilation lasts too long, etc. STFU. NO ONE likes drops put in their eye, so be an adult and deal with it. #ophthalmology #optometry #eyehealth #eyes

One of my young patients said the cutest thing:
“It doesn’t hurt as much after you try it a lot.” 🥹

He’s talking about OrthoK night lenses. They correct vision overnight and help slow down myopia. And once you get used to it? Easy peasy.

Every time I visit the optometrist I find myself fascinated by these machines. They’re called phoropters.

They are beautiful in their complexity. Designed for function, not form. But they are quite aesthetic.

I’m a nerd. 🤷🏻‍♂️

3/ Paul pissed now.

When I was at the eye doctor, I asked them to include my PD, which is Pupillary Distance, the distance between the centers of your pupils and is used to center a prescription lens accurately in the frame, on my prescription..

Because I don't get overpriced glasses from them, and just go for my prescription and other medical eye treatment, they now charge $10 to include the PD on the prescription because a lot of people are buying the frames and lenses online or elsewhere at reasonable prices

This has pissed me off so much that I am going to start advocating for a change in the law that they must include the PD on vision glass prescriptions.

I told another person this, and they said their provider, who is different, charges for the PD also.

Apparently it’s atypical for moving your eyes to hurt. Or moving your head suddenly. Or find text of any size and colour combination blurry regardless of correct prescription!

I will be asking Ortho K guy about this. And / or specsavers.

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!

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

https://youtu.be/FHXs_7Lv_Gc?si=q7caV1Sf7yQlpw37

- afternoon time outdoors more important than morning
- light intensity
- spectral quality (red)
- dopamine, local effect on eye
- atropine & dopamine do not affect normal eye growth; only have effects once myopic changes are initiated

~

Why aren't there more epidemiological studies that consider the effect time spent outdoors on health?
