Tips, Tricks, and Notes

• I have SafeEyes installed on my computer. It's supposed to remind you to take a break from looking at the screen. I just got close-up glasses (differentials), and I have found that it's helpful for reminding me to check and make sure I'm wearing them! I have also found that setting it to interrupt once every minute (for 1-3 seconds, I forget how long) provides just enough time to make sure I'm active focusing. Every minute I'm on the computer.

• only change one focal plane at a time. So it is presumably a good idea not to start wearing new differential and normalized glasses at the same time. Angel (talk) 04:57, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

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.

Close-ups

OD/Right: -3.25 sphere, -1.5 cylinder, 171 axis

OS/Left: -3 sphere, -1.75 cylinder, 176 axis

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.

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.

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.

Why I'm here

Things I'd like to be able to see clearly without glasses again:

• the stars

• my toes
