Not a diagnostic test yet, but really amazing the way things are progressing.

"Doctors have known for a long time that the eye can act as a ‘window’ to the rest of the body, giving a direct insight into many aspects of our health."

So....top of the line Varilux progressives for about $478 (w/ insurance, lenses only) or good ol' Costco frames and prog. lenses (proprietary?) for less than 300.?
That's my current dilemma.

I got new glasses that are actually correcting my slight astigmatism in one eye. It's so weird how, when I first put them on, everything feels wrong, but then, within 10 minutes, everything feels perfect. Eyes are weird. #Glasses #optometry #Vision

@falschgold I _guess_ they work by moving slightly relatively to the eye when looking down, because the lower perimeter of the lens is held in place by (hell I don’t even know the German words for this).
But I don’t feel as if my regular lenses move on the eye at all, so it may just be the black magic of an optomagician.

Went to the optician yesterday for the first time in two years, and my eyesight has *improved* since last time! So my current glasses are too strong for me. I didn't realise spontaneous improvement was possible (I'm in my thirties). #optometry

(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.

My father was an optometrist (now retired). If he ever asked your opinion on anything it was the *worst*.

Maybe #art people, #neurology people, #optometry people, #technology people, or other #science people can answer this.
My Bitmoji (as seen in my profile picture) is white skin, like me. Why does it look almost Simpson's color when shrunk down tiny the way it's put next to my posts in Fedilab?
If I bring it close to my face, I can see that skin is still actually white people color.

The eye exam.

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?

#eyes #optometry

New glasses are on the way. Drastically changed prescription this time around. Also learned of a large cataract in my left eye that kept them from getting that eye down to 20/20 - only 20/25 was the best they could do. In 5 or 6 years, they say I'll need cataract surgery because I'll be at 20/40 corrected and my night vision will be shot to hell. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new specs and to seeing more clearly for a change.
