@variablepulserate Well that’s good. Hope it works out. Eyesight is a very precious thing.
I’ve worn glasses since I was seven. Yeah, pink nhs frames on a kid with bright auburn hair. I don’t think I’ve recovered from the trauma. I was so relieved when they brought out tortoiseshell ones. I started off long-sighted, then short, then I got given a prescription for astigmatism when I was about 15. They warned me my brain would take a while to adapt - they weren’t wrong. For several days it looked like the ground was at 45°. Horrid feeling. It’s a damn nuisance when it changes, because it makes previous specs unwearable unless I want to feel queasy. I still don’t know why it should change, but it does. I’m hoping that if my lenses harden as I get older, it will stop that, but who knows.
Luckily I don’t have the extra holes in my eyes. I just know what to do if I ever have an acute attack, (basically get to an eye emergency dept), plus I have to wear photochromic lenses to lessen the impact of going from light to dark places - something to do with the iris having pigment cells rubbed more if the pupil changes quickly. Not that my pupils contract properly anyway. I dunno, never really fully understood the issue. It’s never caused a major problem; it isn’t glaucoma, but too much pigment liberation could cause a blockage and an acute glaucoma attack. Yay.
