  1. 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.

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

  8. 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

  10. 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  12. 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.
