==My Glasses History==
==Guides and notes==
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.

====Bicycle trip starts====
 
This is when I will be leaving on a bicycle trip.  I'll be getting lots of sunshine and outdoor time.
 
===~April 2022 ===
====Altitude====
 
I'm waiting until after I've biked over the first mountain range so that I'm not messing with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_pressure IOP] while gaining altitude, which probably also messes with IOP.  My eyes should adjust before I hit the second mountain range.

=== November 7, 2021===
====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.
 
===Mid-September 2021===
 
====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.

====Checkup====
:Talked optometrist into just checking eye health.  Eye health was fine.
===June 2019===
 
====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.
==Why I'm here==
 
People with low-to-no myopia are less prone to retinal detachment.  Eye problems run in my family.  I figure I should do what I can to keep my eyesight in working order.
 
Things I'd like to be able to see clearly without glasses again:
* the stars
 
* my toes

==Leave a message ==
You won't find me on the EndMyopia forum. But you can leave me an eyeballs-related message here!
