Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, has become a growing concern globally, affecting millions of young eyes. Source: www.babykidshealth.com/1-in-3-child...#nearsightedness#myopia#eyehealth#kidshealth#eyecaretips#screentime#health#healthnews#usa#viral#eyes#eye#mom#bluesky#momlife
[Gizmodo.com]Global Surge in Nearsightedness Linked to Covid-19, Study Finds - Gizmodo A new review reveals that one in three kids now has myopia, with various factors contributing to the rise—and covid-19 may be one of them.
![During his time performing in Cambridge, Wilson met the American guitarist John Fahey, the "Father of American Primitive Guitar". With Fahey's encouragement, Wilson moved with Fahey to Los Angeles in 1965 with the aim of having Wilson assist with his UCLA master's thesis on Charley Patton. Because Wilson forgot his glasses during the trip, Fahey gave him the nickname "Blind Owl" owing to his extreme nearsightedness, roundish facial features and scholarly nature.[! In one instance, when he was playing at a wedding, he laid his guitar on the wedding cake because he did not see it. As Canned Heat's drummer Fito de la Parra wrote in his book: "Without the glasses, Alan literally could not recognize the people he played with at two feet, that's how blind the 'Blind Owl' was."l*]
Once in Los Angeles, Fahey released The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death. Wilson provided the liner notes under the pseudonym of "Charles Holloway". In 1966, Wilson recorded a series of traditional Indian ragas on Fahey's Takoma label but that set was not issued. Four of Wilson's ragas later appeared as the nine-part soundscape "Parthenogenesis" on Canned Heat's third album, Living the Blues. A portion of "Raga Kafi" is performed on the chromatic harmonica. Fahey's 1992 album O/d Girlfriends and Other Horrible Memories features more of "Raga Kafi" in "Fear & Loathing at 4th & Butternut", although Wilson was not credited.['"]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:rlsv5mugeclxpt3aje4mztrp/bafkreiajareiqnf2xgcwn2hwa2blfwbs7s5elhafhxcwtx22m2ltjn3f7m@jpeg)
It's the focusing for me, all those little muscles in there. My astigmatism and nearsightedness improved very slightly, but I traded that for it being a good bit harder to focus, and eyes getting tired way easier. Stupid entropy!

Nearsightedness epidemic projected to impact 740 million children by 2050 #Science 🧪

Well. Turns out my eyes have gotten... better? My nearsightedness has changed at least, such that I need new, LESS powerful glasses. That explains all the fucking eye-strain I've had lately at least lol, I guess I'm wearing glasses that are just too strong.
I had a jarring realization when I figured out that health care is meant to handle getting you back to work. Someone released nearsightedness eyedrops that work for 8 hours. Just enough to get you through the day.
My vision is mostly fine but I have mild astigmatism and nearsightedness, and getting glasses helped a lot with this. It's not totally gone but I can see so much better when driving at night (important since I work 2nd shift) and feel like I can genuinely judge distance of oncoming traffic better.
