(I don't usually post work stuff, but this is cool).

Has your child been diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness)?

Bright Eyes Family Vision Care is participating in a clinical investigation of the effectiveness of a contact lens to help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children.

Participants must be 8-12 years old and interested in wearing contact lenses.

This study will last 4 years and will involve approximately 12 visits at Bright Eyes Family Vision Care in Westchase, Tampa.

Participants will receive complimentary contact lenses and will be compensated for their time.

If you are interested, please contact study coordinator Alexa Kiwan at (813) 792-0637 or email alexa@brighteyestampa.com.

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.

#introduction For the very first time since I joined 3 months ago, my primary server is down. So I made this one. I've been thinking about makings a sperate one to talk about #vision #myopia #myopiacontrol #visiontherapy and #optometry in general.

So here I am.

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.

As a children's optometrist, I worry about screentime and it's adverse effects on #myopia and #binocularvision.

However, it is news like this that makes me try to educate about moderation with #videogames not elimination.

After my fight with COVID-19, I've found myself needing a new pair of glasses. It just goes to show how this virus can impact our bodies in unexpected ways. #myopia #COVID19 #scary

Das sich meine Refraktion nach meiner Covid-19 Erkrankung ändert hatte ich auch nicht auf dem Schirm. Dieses Virus verändert unseren Körper auf so viele Arten.

Re #introduction toot, following server move.

I am an #optometrist who primarily does #myopia control and #visiontherapy. A #boyscout leader. A #birdsite adopter ~09 who got way burned out, I am loving this new to me Mastodon experience.

I really like #music and have been an amateur #musician for years. A am an avid #podcast listener and creator.

Although I am not a hardcore gamer, my current passion is #nerdmusic, mostly #vgm and listening to music from #videogames as well as #nerdcore hiphop. I am a volunteer dj at WMNF 88.5 community #radio.

I am VERY excited about my new WMNF show "Play all The Things", a 2 hour show all about the music listed above. Please submit your music to me for consideration for the show!!!!

I got a new desk chair, which I badly needed, but the arms are longer than my prior desk chair, which puts me further from my laptop. And I feel like I’m going crazy because the focal distance I had with the old chair was usable and this is just far enough away that my eyes are very unhappy. #myopia #middleage #officefurniture
