No clue what my official vision issues are, but I made my own prescription with reading glasses and swapped lenses–easy to do with a ruler. They work well for programming and reading, but do not have the clarity to use at a distance.
I love the stylish nerdy girl look. Yours match your style and face shape well. Very nice.
Would you like to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist? I am concerned that you may be wearing inappropriate glasses which could cause you more problems such as eye fatigue and headaches, I say this from experience haha.
Sincerely : your nerd girl
My issue is actually my back. I was in a major barely-survived crash between me on a bicycle and two SUVs 10 years ago. The result is that holding posture is very hard for me. It really is not practical or effective for me to do the whole get dressed, drive to, wait, and then do an eye exam. When I sit upright or stand I’m competent for the first 15 minutes and useful for around 30. I can continue to push through for an hour, but after that I won’t be able to sleep or recover for days, sometimes weeks. By the time I’m in the exam chair for an actual test, I’d be pretty much useless. The worst part is that I don’t look like anything is wrong. For perspective, I can’t even asses something like beds effectively going to a store and trying them. I was folded over backwards in the crash and have a bunch of minor damage all the way down my thoracic (rib cage) spine.
I can read okay without any assistance but with age it seems to take more and more mental focus to do so. It is only when reading lots of text that I benefit from wearing my glasses. The difference is only 33%. I’ve never worn contacts.
oh, I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through. It really sounds like a big challenge. There are ophthalmologists who can make house calls or teleconsultations, which might be a more convenient option. It might be worth exploring the possibility of glasses designed specifically for reading.
I have heard that working with a physical therapist who specializes in spinal cord injury can be helpful. Even in small sessions at home, they might be able to teach you techniques to improve posture and reduce pain.
I have a friend who pays for massages once a week and it has changed her life, I think massages can be a great first approach to relief, imagine massages in your own home
I don’t wear contact lenses either jaja I have contradictory opinions, I mean, a plastic in the eye? but at the same time I feel that in some occasions they are practical
Massages were… interesting. I did 3 years of biweekly PT. The massage part was the only time I felt anything impact where I actually hurt. I can replicate that with the knob of a baseball bat while lying on the floor and a tennis ball… kinky. Don’t get me started on the 3ft long 8in diameter foam roll. The best part of PT was the revolving door of new interns.
My vision is likely mostly hydration due to being a hardcore cyclist and the way it impacts my water retention and sodium balance as I’ve tapered and slowly degraded.
I think it is likely smart to get the plastic in the eye thing thought, if you can manage. My pain baseline is so high that my ability to focus on anything technical is limited. Relieving the strain on my vision using my hacked glasses can substantially extend how long I can read something technical before I’m no longer functional. Probably the same for most people. My brain can compensate, but doing so has a cost that could be useful elsewhere.
How long you and the SO been posting nudes? Like it? Going well?
massages should be a human right, in some cases they can improve your day by 80% especially because they are more sensitive, on the other hand in physiotherapy the relief is not momentary but progressive, the results take years to be seen, it is even thought in this later way because it allows a safe and effective rehabilitation without forcing the body beyond its limits, that is why they recommend not to stop the treatment and to combine it with other direct relief treatments, such as massages or hot kerosene (which is like a kind of candle wax applied in heat, but it is for medical use so do not grab the candles from your house and put them in a pot because it will not help you haha).
although ‘concentrating’ is necessary at some point it hurts, maybe it’s time to start a more sensory and friendly stage with your body, not forcing it and understanding that there are new times, it could be interesting to let go by the sensitive is difficult but as a cyclist you know that at some point you get there with patience … and water, always water…you will improve (L)

I love that you are replying to people with such care, instead of dropping a photo and leaving. Above and beyond
the four eyes need help and tenderness jaja we must be prepared for the zombie apocalypse and not be the first four eyes to die
