Just noticed something about my #eyesight.

One of my #eyes is messed up. It sees a blurry image, no matter the distance.

So I mostly use the other #eye to actually see things. That one still sees a good image.

But, if I close the bad eye, it becomes hard to properly focus on certain objects, like a digital clock across the room.

Apparently, even though the bad eye can't see very well, I still need it because it still gives usable depth information, which help me focus properly.

Fascinating.

I have two in person meetings on April 18th. But that's well before my sight will be good enough to drive my scooter or powerchair.
My home help just tried pushing me around the kitchen and thinks she may be able to push me from the nearest taxi drop off points. The longest route, yo the first event, is also uphill ...
I'm not so sure, but may decide to risk it.

"
Tesla carelessly promotes ‘Full Self-Driving’ for driver losing his eyesight
"
"The problem is that Tesla itself classifies FSD as a Level 2 driver-assist system that requires driver monitoring at all times — and the driver is responsible for the vehicle at all times. Those two things are fundamentally incompatible."

i really wish that #KMahjongg had an option to make the tile face colour black or dark grey.

in my broken-down dotage, my eyes, especially late in the day & at night, have become insanely over-sensitive to bright colours, & so these tiles almost hurt to look at 🥺️ weirdly, in the mornings, it's ok, just becoming progressively more sensitive as the day draws on 🤯️🤷‍♀️️

New glasses. The BDV/prism part is the same, even though it's gotten a little worse in the last few years, the optomitrist said that since I'm already on a very high prism lens strength, going higher could become unconfortable for me.

Now though, I also have bifocals so that I can read better. And holy shit! Being able to read the small print on packaging again is a joy! I didn't even need to get my maginifying glass out!

Yay my dumb old eyes! This is gonna take some getting used to.
