My time staring at the sun as a kid says this is a lie

My astigmatism says this might be true...

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yes. Astigmatism here plus so many floaters. I'm a dumb kid.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I don't think the floaters are related. You'd have had them no matter what you did as a kid. Last I learned they were basically leftover proteins when your eyes were made in the womb.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I've also had some of my floaters diagnosed by an ophthalmologist as chunks of the eye that support the Optic Nerve. Usually, seen in the elderly (I was a teen at the time of diagnosis.)

by Anonymous 1 year ago

How do you deal with your floaters? As I'm getting older I'm noticing more (30's). I never really noticed them until one day I did while driving on a sunny day and now it seems there's no going back.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I just ignore them.

If I'm bored I'll move my eyes back and forth fast so I can watch them wiggle around with that weird lag they have.

I used to do that when I was a kid 🤣😵‍💫

The eye doc told me draining the vitreous humor (liquid in your eye) was an option to remove floaters. He advised that it was a drastic measure for something that is little more than a nuisance. Twenty years later and I rarely see my floaters, if ever.

They tend to settle back into the back of your eyes over time is what my eye doctor told me. So you don't notice them after a while.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

My eye doctor said they're pretty much permanent that you just have to not think about...there *is* an extremely invasive and dangerous procedure that *may* help, that involves draining the goo from the eye and replacing it...

Not from that. Former is just genetics. Latter; age or trauma or genetics

Haha when I was a kid I would point my laser pointer directly into my eye because it looked cool.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Kids sure are stupid. Got a laser pointer as a kid and my parents very rationally and calmly explained to me the dangers of pointing it into the eyes. The very first thing I did when I was alone was point the laser directly into my eye.

Yea, I'm actually very curious about this. In high school many years ago I stared directly into the sun for at least a full minute or two while tripping on mushrooms. It was an incredible experience and 20 years later my vision is still better than 20/20. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe it will bite me down the line…

by Anonymous 1 year ago

To be fair, "at least a minute or two" when tripping nuts could be a couple of seconds or like a solid 10 minutes.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

You're absolutely right. I guess I should just say I looked straight into the sun and held my gaze for an unquantifiable amount of time ; )

Reminds me of a time I was at a party and a guy had a super soaker full of vodka. Brilliant idea! Until he turned it on himself and mistook the pump for the nozzle. High pressure vodka right in the eyeball. Visit to the eye and ear hospital the next morning.

You can just close your eyes for the rest of your life and you'll pretty much be blind for life. No pain needed

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Not necessarily. This is a story from a former optometrist I worked for. Someone had taken too many drugs and decided to lay out on the grass looking at the sun (in Florida of all places). He went blind from burning his retinas. But after some weeks of healing, his vision returned without any real lasting damage.

About once a month my curiosity gets the best of me and I just have to take a quick look. Got some eclipse viewing glasses so now i can take a peek whenever I want. One of my favorite things to do tbh. Staring directly into the sun makes me feel at home.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

People make way too big a deal out of it. Lots of folks don't drive with sunglasses and when the sun is low in the sky, you're sometimes forced to look directly at it to see traffic lights and whatnot.

I stared at the sun all the time as a kid, and I'm not blind. I do need really strong glasses, though, -7. It's funny but also true, most likely nothing to do with the sun, though. I can't stare at the sun anymore, though, my eyes are way more light-sensitive now.

It's hard to comprehend just how truly bright sunlight is. Like, the lights used in surgery rooms are as bright as 100 lux...the sunlight outside is regularly _100,000 lux_. It's just so hard to wrap the mind around the idea that the sun is fully illuminating half of an entire planet from a million miles away.

How have we not evolved to have eyes that can't be destroyed by something that's literally available to look at for at least half of every day? The sun hasn't gotten any brighter since the dawn of man. It seems weird that nature would leave such a huge vulnerability open and not develop some random mutation at some point that created sun-resistant eye tissue that became genetically dominant.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

There's no survival advantage to forcing yourself to look at the sun.
