Oh so that's what blindness looks like

That is a very informative cool guide indeed, thank you.

Wait, eye floaters are not normal?

[-] moroni@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

Everyone I've asked has them too.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago

Everyone has them

What about astigmatism? Second class eye issue? The balls would look like eggs. Source: all circles I see look like eggs.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I must have far more minor astigmatisms than you, all I have is difficulty focusing and the massive bright lights at night bloom thing.

[-] deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

My glasses are really thick to make up for my astigmatism, and it makes the world look a bit convex. Eventually, my brain got used to that, but when I switch to contacts I have a good day or two where everything looks concave (first time I thought my phone screen had finally been sat on one too many times) until my brain reverts back. IDK if i've ever noticed circles looking like eggs, but then again I rarely am looking at circles with my naked eyes and maybe my brain is fixing it for me anyway?

What is the difference between cataract and myopia? Is it only me not seeing difference?

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

It looks like with a cataract, the entire image is significantly blurred, whereas with myopia, the blur gets worse the farther away the element of the image is from you.

Which would make sense, given that the derived definition of myopic is basically being focused on or concerned with only things that directly affect you and not the more grand scheme of things.

Thanks, Maybe I see football and blue/white shirt bit more in focus (only because you mentioned it, I stared long enough lol)

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

Im on mobile and i had to zoom the image in a bit to look at it.

Its not so obvious at a casual glance.

alternatively:

Maybe you should get your eyes checked =P

[-] rando@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

Yup on mobile as well and yup saw those differences after zooming in / staring. Always a good idea to be on top of medical checkup though, I'll get eye exam just in case.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

Hah, I mean, I meant that last part as a joke, but if you've not had an eye exam ever, or in 5 or 10 years, I guess its not a bad idea.

[-] rando@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Had it year and half back, they advised us every 2 years

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
