There maybe some useful information for you. It was to me.
But stronger glasses will help though won’t they?
But stronger glasses will help won’t they?
I love my reading glasses.
Panic if I can’t find them.
Not because they are especially fantastic or designer or anything like that. But they enhance and help my little eyes work things out and see better. At some point they won\’t. Until that point, I will make use of them best I can. So at the moment, it\’s all good ☺
They won’t repair and fill in the tiny blind spot that I have. Or will make any floaters that turn up temporarily, disappear.
But they do help so far.
It’s not just blurriness either, there is a double vision sometimes. Usually at the end of these day or through stress and tiredness.
People with the condition like me will have to study the words. I find it easier reading online as you can adjust the size of the font and zoom in.
Seeing pictures of a similar colour is hard. Every picture you show me has to be zoomed in so I can study it. Really detailed pictures take a bit of time to understand what’s happening. I may even ask you what it is so I can ‘see’ it.
This is all with my reading glasses on.
I bought them a year ago. They aren’t as good as they were but better than nothing, a lot better.
The floaters I have are grey to dark and don’t appear that often, more about these later in another post as they can make your vision puzzling and amusing sometimes.
I have started to clean with my glasses on as I’m paranoid I’m missing something. So they give me a bit more detail and can’t imagine not having them.

Protecting your eyes from harmful light
For everyone, continued exposure to light over time could lead to damaged retinal cells.
So everyone needs to wear protection from blue light, UVA and UVB. Even on cloudy days these rays are still going strong.
This can cause more damage to my already vulnerable macular and cone and rod cells.
Blue light is emitted from the sun, its all around us, including fluorescent and LED lighting and flat-screen televisions.
Most notably, the display screens of computers, electronic notebooks, smartphones and other digital devices emit significant amounts of blue light.
So, if you protect your eyes from all these elements as much as you can by less screen time, rests between working on a computer and wearing sunglasses with 100% UV protection and ideally a blue light blocker too. It will go some way to save your sight and mine too.
There are blue light blocking apps for your devices.
Pop one your phone to save your eyes from damage or eye strain. I have one from the Google play store. There are many eye conditions that you can be diagnosed with when older due to light damage. Even if your eyes are healthy now.
So, get your sunglasses on and a blue light filter.
Don’t take your eyesight for granted.
I did. Don’t now ☺
