Buying cheap clothing online can be satisfying, but it comes with not-so-hidden environmental costs.

Outlining three sustainable principles, including crowdsourcing designs and…

If you want to avoid having your eyes dilated, get an Optomap taken. 200 degree field of view of the retina/macula. If your doctor does not have an Optomap device, FIND ANOTHER EYE DOCTOR.

Great video! I was born with Cataract, Aniridia and Nystagmus. i.e. my eyesight is very poor (around 12-15% atm), I have no iris (eye color) and my eyes shake sometimes. I’ve done 3 cataract surgeries so far. My day to day life is “normal” and most people don’t even know about my conditions until I tell them. But I have problem reading fine print, restaurant menus and I’ll never be able to drive a car to name a few everyday problems.

Well, now I’m curious about if its bad for certain people with bad eyesight to use an eye mask when sleeping. I wear a pretty high corrective lens and I always find it uncomfortable having my eye squished by my eye mask since I literally am aware of the pressure as I feel it. It may be because I’m not used to it or the mask is somewhat new so its garter is still tight.

The blue light filter mainly has to do with sleep and the secretion of melatonin, rather than eye strain. That’s what the filters are for.
