You can lift to keep your muscles strong, and walk to keep your heart healthy, and take finasteride to stop your hair from falling out, and fluoride to prevent your teeth from cracking, but the day will still come when the optometrist says "so, did you want to go with bifocals?"

This was me, for real, seeing this chart at the massage therapist’s yesterday, glasses off.
I’m getting a puppy soon; I may have #dogs on the brain :)
I remember a while back, a month? that a zeroes i follow posted they had a positive experience with a Victoria optometrist re:covid, and they would follow up later with details. If they did, I either missed it or I can't find it. I have an odd idea it was @douglaspynn but that could be my fevered imagination. Douglas, sorry if I'm wrong.

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?

100 year old #Berkeley #Optometry school to open new #HerbertWertheim #Eyecare center in #Emeryville at an old #Cardealership site . #UCBerkeley's groundbreaking #SchoolOfOptometry now sees over 50,000 patients a year on the #CalBerkeley campus and hopes its expansive new site by the bay can add many more to that. Treatments to be offered to the public once the facility is set to open in 2025 include #pediatric , sports vision. and a #concussion #clinic; #Construction of the site has been previously plagued by two #arson attacks, and more recently a kitchen fire in a student apartment above.
Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood
The ConversationNearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhoodWhile reading, scrolling and focusing on other objects near our faces increase the risk of developing myopia, a little time outdoors in the sun can help mitigate it.
There's a reason why we can't do full eye transplants yet (and make them work, I mean). #DidYouKnow that the human eye has around 2 million moving parts?
I think it's probably the next frontier in organ transplants, but it's probably a long way off. :P
In January, #HamOnt optician Tapiwa Musewe became the owner of Draga Vision Care, an optometry practice in Hamilton's Stoney Creek area, which offers eye exams, prescriptive eyewear and contact lenses.
She sat down with CBC Hamilton to talk about becoming a business owner, and working in a field where she says she hasn't met many people who look like her.

Prescription glasses from #AliExpress, round 2: Success!
Frame is cheap and cheerful and comfortable.
Lenses are good, 1.56 index, aspheric grind (this solved the chromatic aberration - don't go with the default spheric lenses if you do any computer stuff, it was only ~€5 more). Prescription is correct, these are single vision with a cylinder on both eyes plus presbyopia. Clean easy!
€22 with delivery. Bifocal/varifocals cost more.

@jerry I've found that to be the best combination: glasses with progressive lenses for general use and going outside, and a second set with fixed focus at one-arm's length for computer work.
I want to try degressive lenses (aka “low-add boost” or “occupational” lenses), which are optimized for working in near- and mid-distance. They're similar to progressives, but in reverse: the near-distance focus is with subtracted magnification for the mid-distance focus. https://www.abdo.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/CET182.pdf #Optometry
Not a diagnostic test yet, but really amazing the way things are progressing.

Unlucky me, stuck with a problem the google results are unhelpful for due to lack of context, but there's no way in hell I'd trust CHatGPT/etc's output about it either.
Anyone had/given laser treatment for retinal tears? Is the black spot permanent or part of the healing process?
