Flawed and Fabulous

... because perfect doesn't exist and normal is boring.

@HectorBembe The irony of you saying this 👀

[John Constas @JohnConstas]

The Eyeglasses industry makes 140 billion dollars a year "correcting" your vision

But there's a little dirty secret they don't want you to know...

Poor eyesight isn't just about genetics

Your environment also plays a role

Today, we spend most of our time indoors staring at our screens within the dark confines of offices

It's taken a toll on our vision

Your eyes need to exercise in order to stay sharp and healthy

Good vision meant life or death for our ancestors

They needed to search the horizon for food to feed their families

Finding berries and mushrooms was also necessary

If poor vision was purely genetic, natural selection would have wiped it out of the gene pool

Why?

Because not correctly identifying poisonous food or mistaking a snake for a tree branch meant you died

Death = not able to pass on DNA

Now

You're probably wondering how this is possible

We've been told all our lives that poor eyesight meant glasses forever and that your vision will get worse over time

In today's world, there is some truth to that statement

You can change that though

Your eyes are surrounded by muscles that move them in all directions

Like all muscles, they follow the adage: Use it or lose it

By not looking at far away distances and being outside in the sunlight, these structures weaken

Your eyes also control your diurnal rhythm (body clock)

This clock runs on sunlight

Being stuck inside & not exposing yourself to sunlight messes up the neurotransmitter Dopamine

Dopamine is vital for eye health

It literally changes the structure of your eyeball

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is not being able to see things from far away

This happens because your eye elongates due to a lack of sun exposure

The light that enters misses your retina (vision processing tissue) so the image you see is blurry

Keeping your eyes healthy is fairly simple

You need exposure to sunlight!

The average room is 20x less bright than being outside on a sunny day

Get as much time as you can and bask in the healing rays

Make it your priority

Another tip is to spend time out in nature, staring at landscapes or objects in the distance

Train your eyes to stay sharp

Give them a challenge

You need to be proactive

Poor vision shouldn't be a life sentence

Give your eyes the environment they deserve to thrive

Spend more time outside and less time in front of screens

Eat more Vitamin A rich foods like organ meats or fatty fish or you'll end up needing stronger lens prescriptions every few years

@Leaho08957538 @MichaelBucwa I'm generally a happy person. My r/ship status plans no role in my temperament. Yeah it would be nice to share my happiness with a partner, but I am not going to be unhappy because they don't exist. I see no reason to mourn about that as life is bigger than a relationship
