We often talk about taking care of our bodies—heart health, gut balance, hydration, and electrolytes come to mind. But eye care? That barely gets a mention.

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.

Optometry's sophomore album, Lemuria, is a self-described sci-fi musical diary - a deeply personal record that processes the year's events through introspection and creative exploration. #music #optometry #lemuria #album #palette

Comets, the new single by Optometry, a duo composed of John Tejada and March Adstrum, captures the theme of rebirth in the wake of tragic events. #music #optometry #comets #Palette
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.
Your eyes could reveal the first signs of many diseases

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?

Orthokeratology contact lenses fix your eyes while you sleep.
Optimists HATE vem!
Just got my eyes checked. -4.75 myopia, steady for almost a decade. Doc suggested LASIK. Anyone else been in this situation? Struggling to decide if it's a genuine recommendation or just a sales pitch. #eyesight #lasik #optometry #healthcare
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.

The reading glasses I bought from my optometrist yesterday significantly improve my reading computer screens. I’m nearsighted, and the screen isn’t out of range, but my astigmatism needs correction (drug-store readers don’t help with that). Really glad I got these! #glasses #optometry
Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood
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
