I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me. Or maybe just knowing my context is useful. Also adding other non-glasses stuff that could be relevant. | I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me.

====Prescription==== | |||
"You have excellent focus for someone your age." No cataracts or glaucoma. Dry eyes. Eat walnuts (or other omegas), eat more fiber, drink more water. (Or get Blink Tears or Systane Ultra but don't touch anything that claims to get rid of red eyes.) | |||

I answered one way for one eye, and the other way for the other eye. The eye doctor wasn't thorough and didn't double-check. So I feel ok about altering the prescription slightly for consistency (as reflected in my next pair of normal glasses). | |||
===January or February 2023=== | |||
Mouse broke. Back to wearing close-up/differential glasses and just using the laptop without an external monitor. | |||

====[https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/Differentials Close-ups] - gold frames==== | |||
Had some icecream last night and chocolate this morning and was crying. My vision is typically worse in the morning and if I've had refined sugar. So I figured this was a good conservative time to test my vision. Tested. It is time. Now using for close-up glasses: | |||

====Bike trip ends==== | |||
Using borrowed tv screen as monitor. Quit all refined sugar again. | |||
====Bike trip review==== | |||
Didn't make any changes while bicycling. Rode my bike a bunch, used the laptop a bunch. Got a bit of a tan. Ate a TON of junk food. ALLLlll the sugary things. Traveled maybe 2,000 miles. | |||
===March 2022=== | |||
====Bicycle trip starts==== | |||
This is when I left on a bicycle trip. I'm getting lots of sunshine and outdoor time. This is a dramatic change from my winter habits this year, so I won't make any changes to my glasses at this time. | |||
Abandoned keyboard and mouse, no room to pack 'em. | |||
===January 26, 2022=== | |||
====Found a free keyboard and mouse.==== | |||
Now I can get my laptop further away from my lap. Only problem is, I just switched to new normalized glasses a few days ago! So I am concerned about effectively changing two focal planes at once. Oh well. Will try to be conservative about where I set my computer, while still getting in the habit of using the keyboard and mouse. | |||
In short, I have to be cautious about not effectively changing two focal planes at once. | |||

'''I was warned.''' When I was given my first pair of glasses, I was told, repeatedly, ''don't wear these glasses when you don't need them.'' I was living in England at the time. Not sure if it was an English doctor or a US military doctor. | '''I was warned.''' When I was given my first pair of glasses, I was told, repeatedly, ''don't wear these glasses when you don't need them.'' I was living in England at the time. Not sure if it was an English doctor or a US military doctor. In my medical records, my early glasses are "for distance only". | ||

At this point, just habit. Also people with low-to-no myopia are less prone to retinal detachment. Eye problems run in my family. I figure I should do what I can to keep my eyesight in working order. | |||
