A while ago the coloured layer of my "fast" sunglasses started to peel and can be scraped off without scratching the lense. Anyone know whether this affects UV protection and/or how it can be checked? Polarisation remains unchanged (turn the phone 90°, voilà) but would be nice to know I'm not burning out my retinae..

(Would use normal sunglasses with glacier shields, but both for biking and kayaking, the peripheral vision is fairly essential)

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.

👁️‍🗨️💡 Researchers from #SUNY found that focusing on close objects indoors may reduce the light reaching our retinas, potentially worsening short-sightedness (aka nearsightedness).

Visited the optometrist today. Still 20/20, but I've got a slight astigmatism, so it's a good chance I'll be needing glasses at some point (if they gestapo doesn't haul me off to the gas chamber first).

The doctor was kind of enough to send me the pictures she took of my retinas. I thought they looked sort of celestial and pretty neat.
