| ==My Glasses History==

| I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me. Or maybe just knowing my context is useful. Also adding other non-glasses stuff that could be relevant.

| ====Normal glasses====
| |
|
| |
|
| Couldn't find my original prescription when I wanted to change glasses from my close-ups (differentials) so I decided it was time to switch to my first normalized glasses. It feels like it has been about a month. I also received my over-the-glasses sunglasses yesterday!

| :Zenni frame 411516 because it's got half a dozen colors so I can keep track of new glasses easier, and it's the cheapest metal frames they sell. These frames are blue.

| ====End Myopia discovery====
| |
| : Found endmyopia.org somewhere. I had been looking for wrap-around sunglasses that would work with my prescription, which was apparently not in "cheap sunglasses on Zenni" territory.
| |
| | |
| ====Eating more fiber====
| |
| : Figured out I can get most of my vitamins and minerals from 2 cups cooked greens and a can of beans every day. My fiber intake just went up dramatically and permanently.

| ====Quit refined sugar====
| |
| | |
| :Did someone refine the fiber out? I won't eat it. Juice? Unacceptable. Honey? Refined by bees. Maple syrup? Sure, if I'm gnawing on a maple tree. Cane sugar? Sure, if I'm eating the cane alone with it. And so forth.
| |
| | |
| :NOTE: This took me 20 years of effort before it finally stuck. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. I get refined sugar on my birthdays.

| ===Early 1990s===
| |
| | |
| Kept forgetting my glasses at home and not being able to see the blackboard clearly from the first row. Annoyed teacher told me I needed to start remembering to bring my glasses. This is when I started wearing glasses full time.
| |
| | |
| ===Late 1980s===
| |
| | |
| '''I was warned.''' When I was given my first pair of glasses, I was told, repeatedly, ''don't wear these glasses when you don't need them.'' I was living in England at the time. Not sure if it was an English doctor or a US military doctor.
| |
| ==My Glasses Future==
| |
| | |
| If my trajectory precisely follows the guidelines, I should be done with:
| |
| | |
| * Cylinder correction by late 2023
| |
| | |
| * Close-up glasses (differentials) by mid-2024
| |
| | |
| Then I ran out of room on the glass I was writing on. No further predictions at this time.
| |
| | |
| ==Why I'm here==
| |
| Things I'd like to be able to see clearly without glasses again:
| |
| | |
| * the stars
| |
| | |
| * my toes
