Christian: My KEY To Improving My Eyesight
Christian posts in the forum:First of all, I apologize for not having been too involved in the forum for the past two months.

Improved Glaucoma Detection: Singapore Study
From Today Online:Singapore — He was diagnosed with glaucoma in 2014, but 61-year-old Mr Ismail Busri does not know when the insidious eye disease first crept up on his left eye.

(-9.50 High Myopia) Went To See The Optometrist Yesterday …

Contact Lenses For Distance Vision?
A few days ago, in the frozen wasteland that is Tokyo in February, I recorded a quick video on the subject of contact lenses for distance vision use. It's a continual somewhat tenuous relationship, me and contact lenses (I never used them personally, but for the subject of myopia control). They have lots of notable advantages, for a number of use cases, but then they are also not ideal for long term vision health, and another temptation to take the [...]
