Yes, I want to see this as well. Also tips to keep your hearing as good as possible for as long as possible

No being able to hear is bad for your brain. Also, people that don't hear well tend to isolate themself from others. This being "cut off" from the world is a huge risk factor to develop dementia!

I hear You, brother! Also appreciate how a channel named Little Voice is recommending something about hearing.

I wonder if diet is connected with hearing loss (besides trauma) as it is with dementia. Because genetics can be dormant or triggered according to one’s diet more or less

That's simple. Loud noises of any sort can damage hearing. To protect hearing don't listen to music too loud, particularly on earphones/earbuds,and if operating loud machinery use ear protecters

I don't know if it's some Placebo effect but without that blue light filter my eye feels drier than usual

Blue light by itself is not dangerous, but the narrow band blue light peak emitted by most LED backlit screens is. It's high intensity of light concentrated in very narrow spectrum. If it was spread out over wider frequency band (like natural light sources), then it wouldn't have such high toxicity for the tissue.

they didn't say blue light isn't damaging to your eyesight or health, they just said there is no reasearch can claim such thing as to right now meaning there is no reaserch who shows blue light is damaging or not dammging to the eyesight therefore blue light can still be damaging and you simpley don't know it yet.

@@lala-bp3wh bruh they just said our eyes have protection against blue light. She even mentioned specifically that we have "Lutein and Zeaxanthin" in our eyes that protects us from blue light. The only reason why it affects our eyes is when we use gadgets before sleep causing insomnia or when we forgot to blink.

@@lala-bp3wh plus if it were even slightly true then we would have a pandemic of blindness.

Well, they do say blue light filters reduce light sensitivity and glare and make you feel more comfortable when you work (2:10)

sunglasses work better than polarized

this happened to me just today! the lens got lost at the top lmao

Your eye won’t fall out. If you see floaters or flashes that COULD be a sign of a retinal detachment which could lead to blindness

The problem is that the retina, the patch of nerve cells at the back of the inside of the eye, which react to light and without which we can't see,needs a good blood supply. If something interrupts that blood supply, such as damage to the capillaries (very small blood vessels)that carry blood to the retina,then those cells can be damaged. Once the retina is damaged,there is nothing that can be done to fix it. BUT, there are things that can be done to improve the blood supply before that happens/re attach your retina if it detaches ,such as laser surgery. If you have bad floaters,this can mean there is damage to the capillaries, though generally it doesn't. But an eye check is a good idea . If you have bad floaters,then suddenly loose an area of sight in your eye,like a dark spot that doesn't move,you need to seek treatment straight away,as you DO have damage to the capillaries/a detached retina The sooner you get treatment, the more likely it is that your retina/its blood supply can be repaired and your sight will be fine Never take chances with your sight

happened to me too😭😭😭freaked out while trying to find my contact bc i thought i dropped it but it was slid to the right of my eye

The top, sides, and bottom. Basically the contact won't go all the way behind the eye, but it can get stuck anywhere around the edges as far back as your conjunctiva connects. It happens to me fairly often (as in a few times a year), usually when my eyes are really dry and the contact catches on my eye lid and rolls up.

Following

They stated that eye exercises don't help with myopia and other vision-impairing conditions; so if a professional told you that it wasn't myopia and rather a specific problem with your eye muscles than eye exercises can probably help somewhat since it has to do with your muscles. What they mean is that eye exercises won't help you with said conditions, or magically improve your vision from where it is now. It can help with eye strain.

@@blasianking4827 Thank you! That makes sense. Sometimes these videos can lack nuance which can be confusing.

Losing weight & fasting improved by vision & reduced myopia.

From my experience, when I checked my myopia in the morning and evening, the numbers are different. It is very recommended to check your eyes early of the day, otherwise your eyes are tired during eye check in the evening and lead to inaccurate numbers.

that’s what i was thinking.

I also thought the same

Blue light can change dna in a cell and changed dna if mutated can cause cancer so it's hit or trail it not always gona kill

It's proably inferior to the current cancer treatment options out there. From what I gather what they mean is that blue light can kill ALL cells if they're not protected by those specific pigments in our eyes. This is basically what the current radiation/x-ray therapy methods already do, but at a higher efficiency.

The problem with that is that visible blue light can't really penetrate our skin and get to the cancer. If it could, you'd be able to see your screen through your hand. That's why we use other types of radiation that can actually penetrate the body and attack the cancer cells

In other cases.. if you keep seeing one, two floaters or more.. it could be the early sign of retinal detachment.. which is could lead to permanent blindness if not do any early treatment.. do check to your ophthalmologist.. not optometrist

@@soupricemf1260 only if they suddenly appear. Floaters are normal due to proteins and are usually not an issue.

@@GunwantBhambra u are the devil then

How do you know glasses won't make your vision worse? Do you know excessive near work leads to myopia? Aren't you familiar with primate studies 30 years where they had minus lenses put in front of their eyes, and they developed myopia. Hard to fight the general ignorant public that doesn't want to hear anything/do his own research about this subject. 1.Take 100 7 year old kids who are illiterate and check their vision 2-3 years after 2.Take 100 7 year old kids who do 10hrs reading at 30cm and check their vision 2-3 years after 3.Take 100 7 year old kids who are always outside but are put with -3.00D minus lenses and check their naked vision 2-3 years after. scenario 2+3 = Myopia, and this is proven by science.

@@DoubleOpposite You seem to be completely unable to de-tangle how causal relationships work. But it's okay. Watch the video again, maybe you'll understand it this time around, although I highly doubt that.

@@diablo4093 You're ignorant to science, and its fine by me In science, near work and minus lenses cause myopia In medical myth however, no

@@DoubleOpposite ​ You do realise that if people started off with perfect vision and wore the lenses long term, their eyes would actually adjust to lenses and end up inducing myopia? The monkey and the kids wearing the minus lenses scenarios are not really proving that nearwork causes myopia because the lenses are already a huge factor, so perhaps reference more examples where they only have nearwork activities involved in the experiment to better support your argument.

If something hits your eye but you’re eye is closed will not end up getting low vision. I rinsed something off my eye lids in the shower today and I had water fall on my face for five minutes and my mom told me that water from a shower falling on your eyes could cause permeant damage and oh dear I had shower water fall on my face for five minutes but my eyes were closed the whole time I did it. If someone rinses his or her face under shower water for five minutes with shower water with his or her eyes closed would the water falling on your face still damage the person’s eyes and cause the person to get low vision even though the person’s eyes were shut while the water was falling on the person’s face?

It's not a myth. These two medical doctors, like most medical doctors, wildly unscientific, are clueless about the basic science and cannot even infer a truly logical consequence of the hypothesis that they wish to refute [01:16]. The conclusion that blue light damages eyes owes to decades of research. One could question much of the data's clinical relevance to freeliving humans. But these medical doctors spout nonsense by reducing it all to a myth due to media report of a 2018 study on cells not even retinal. And refuting the hypothesis by alleging that it entails a "pandemic of blindness" is sheer inanity. - E Zrenner, "[Light-induced damage to the eye]", _Fortschr Ophthalmol,_ 1990;87 Suppl:S41-51.

I gotta say if your family has cases of macular degeneration I would still use blue light Filters. but otherwise I don't see any arguments for them and I only sell them if a patient/ customer wants them. and they can enhance contrast vision so if you have problems there also good investment.

They wont answer you now.

I don't think this is scientifically proven either. I saw studies that didn't find correlation between blue light and sleep. What did seem to have a correlation is how engaged you are when you're using your phone/computer before bed. For example if you're reading a very exciting book before bed it doesn't matter if it's on a phone screen with blue light or on a piece of paper - you're going to have trouble falling asleep. I don't have a link, but I found it by just googling.

yeahh its just adjustment to the new normal

It is the stupidest thing but I often find myself becoming a little frustrated when it's shower time because it means removing my glasses and now I can't see very well 😂. If I'm in bed on my phone, I don't mind not wearing them but once I leave my room, or I'm up moving around, I really need them. I wonder if people who have contacts wear them in the shower as well or would that cause steam on the lenses...

For me it was more permanent, I had to stop wearing glasses and my "normal" vision restored only after a few weeks.

My ophthalmologist wasn't nearly as cool, I was just handed a pencil and told to focus on it as close as I could every day.

I'm sorry, I'm sure it was a very uncomfortable experience, but the mental image of this is pretty funny. I'm glad you're doing better now.

Actually, blue light irradiation of lipofuscin results in the production of free radicals. Retinal cells accumulate lipofuscin over time, which is why blue light is especially hazardous to older individuals, but not so much to younger individuals.

Unfortunately, you could only expose the outer layer of the tumor, and not even all of that layer. Also, the intensity of light required would generate heat and could also damage adjoining tissues. Yes, light/laser is an available tool, but if the tumor is that readily accessible, it could be removed more completely and easily by freezing - such as a wart.

I also have a regular 60-watt equivalent LED daylight light bulb in my desk lamp lamp, since I don’t need that one to turn on/off or switch colors on it’s own.

The drops that make your eye lashes grow are prostaglandins so the drugs such as bimatoprost, latanoprost, travoprost and tafluprost. Usually they are used in both eyes since they can darken the iris. The iris is less likely to change in colour if your eyes are fully blue with no specs if green and brown. There are no changes in colour once you stop using the drug however.

Same here. It’s amazing what a change in habits will do. It’s absolutely mind boggling more doctors don’t talk about this.

Same here! I use Rose water drops to relieve it. Could you tell me in detail how you got rid of it?

.... The myth is that the eye is being restored. Whats happening is you've exercised the muscles that focus the lens in your eye. Reliance on that can cause eye strain that eye strain can be debilitating over time. However, sometimes people just get lazy eye muscles and they don't focus normally. I know, because I suffered through the eye strain.

Anecdotally, eye exercises worked for me too. I've been using Mark Warren's exercises where the idea is to train the muscles that control the lenses in order to relax, since phones and screens make them contract too often. Another thing that might be useful, especially for people with dry eye like me is to use artificial tears. I used to have difficutly with visual clarity even when my diopters have decreased. It wasn't until medical check up that I found out my eyes were very dry. I've been using it recently and it has become near 20/20 vision, straight from -3. I hope I can improve my vision further

@@SmallSpoonBrigade There weren't so many video games when I was growing up. And my father was against technology (despite the fact that he was an engineer). We had no radio, no TV, no microwave. We did have a ball attached to a string hanging from the ceiling. My mom would swing it in various patterns and I wore a patch and followed it with my bad eye.

@@PotatoPieYT Yeah, I do think the patch helped. My eyes don't work together and my bad eye cannot see 20/20 even with glasses. But my friend who never wore a patch can only see light and dark with her bad eye. Maybe her eye is just worse to begin with though.

Bullshit

@@vwupr Pretty much I remember a government road safety PSA campaign from a few years ago that was focused on that problem! It’s still possible it might be not the most accurate if further scientific developments on the topic have been made since the campaign was first released.

For me, whenever I got one too stuck in my eye, I would just put in a new one and close my eye and the old one would crash into it, causing it to come to the front so I can take it out, so I am confused how someone could get 4 stuck also.

As a beginner, Once I was taking out my my right eye contact lense as I got hold of it in my eyes I felt like it just dropped of my fingers in the bathroom, after searching it for minutes, my eyes were bot comfortable and tears would come and I was feeling like there's something stuck in my eyes, I was convinced that the lense might've fallen down and my eyes is itching due any bacteria or something, after 1hour of itch and sorrow, I once again looked the back of my eyes in the mirror and finally realised that it was stuck in my eyes.

Some of these myths are spread by professionals though...easier targets are the blue light, which gets them a return cause a "blue light filter" option when we get new glass lens are paid with a premium price and one and the eye exercise to improve the lens and the muscles around it are everywhere on youtube, spread by actual eye doctors.

Only one of them is a medical doctor.

@@MrAwesomeSquad So? They are both eye doctors so your point is irrelevant

@@carrela1000 there's an ENORMOUS difference between a medical doctor and someone you see in a Walmart.

@@MrAwesomeSquad What are you even talking about? One of them is a medical doctor that specialises in eyes and the other one is a licensed eye doctor. It's literally in the name! The optometrist is a licensed doctor and completed a doctorate degree in optometry plus clinical training. The only difference is that one has an MD and the other one doesn't. She is a doctor, maybe not a medical doctor but still a doctor. Therefore, they are both eye doctors so the OP is correct. Only one of them can perform medical and surgical operations but they both treat eyes. I don't know which Walmart hires optometrists as staff and pays them as much as an optometrist earns. You may be confusing her with an optician (also not found in Walmarts either) because I hope you're not dumb enough to devalue this woman's hard work just because she doesn't have an MD and the other one does.

@@MrAwesomeSquad TIL that optometrists go to Walmart while ophthalmologist don't...

I got eye floaters when I was 17.. Now I am 22 and still have them..

I use to see those all the time as a kid too. Now that I'm older, I don't see them much anymore

Apprentice optician here. From what I've learned: Floaters are usually debris from within the eye flying around in this jelly-like substance called the Vitreous Humor, which holds the eyeball shape mostly. Debris usually gets trapped in that area because the VH is quite thick so the debris can not really find a way to drain itself out and just floats around(most likely that's how the name originated). Considering the age in which the floaters has occurred, the eyes develop over time and presumably swept the debris somewhere outside of your central and peripheral vision. Usually floaters are still in the eye somewhere if no surgical operations were done, perhaps in the blind spot and additional the brain can act to ignore any minute trace of the floaters as much as possible usually by filling in the area with the background more or less, however everyone experiences differently. Not all eye floaters are too detrimental, so the brain practically says whatever to non life-threating floaters. Mostly if the frequency of floaters progresses and what causes the floaters is severe- that's where the medical professional will step in. I hoped I have helped to some extent, typing online is a bit limited with explanations and I'm giving a macro-opinion on the situation. Good to hear it's not bothering you

@@lepark724 Thanks for the detailed explanation!

not a problem, glad I can help!

Does your vision actually get better? Or just stop turning in

@@Daniel-ng2ru Vision is pretty much the same. I never had an issue seeing.. but the light felt too strong and couldn’t control it before. I Initially I was 4.5+ and went back and now 2.0+ after I fixed it.

@@DoubleTheDom alright thanks for feedback 👍

What eye exercises did you do?

@@preetibla like 10 around the world clockwise and anti clockwise, up down up down x 10 side side, diagonal etc. give it a go! Maybe it will correct for 1 minute… keep trying and the eye will be stronger

Ayy thanks dealing with it rn

You can buy sterile saline (salt water)eye drops over the counter at pharmacy's. If your eyes feel gritty and painful, like there is something in them,but they aren't red ,simply flushing them out with these will probably put them right. If you still have a problem after a couple of days,and having used the drops as instructed by the pharmacist,you should see a doctor. You might have an eye infection and need antibiotic drops/ointment

Damage to the epithelial cells from the cornea also called corneal staining heals very quickly so just don't rub your eyes and it should heal in 24 hours. When the damage is deeper it can take a bit longer to heal. But if the damage is so deep that it penetrates the stromal layer then you will probably end up with corneal scarring

It can also be an allergen. Rinse your eyes out with eye saline.

My eye doctor, when I last had my eyes checked, didn't recommend blue light filtering, but did mention it as an option as I was - at the time - going to start needing two separate prescriptions for long distance and medium distance (specifically for using the computer as my job at the time had me in front of a computer 9+ hours per day, and I was spending another 3-6 hours per day in front of my computer at home) and suggested getting yellow-tinted lenses for my computer distance glasses, basically as a combination of the tinting helping with my migraines (due to the reduced brightness, and generally being less bothered by 'warmer' light temperatures, not because of any damage from the blue light) and the blue-light reduction helping with my horrible sleeping patterns. It is certainly good, though, that both eye doctors and more scrupulous opticians are not trying to further the myth that blue light is going to damage your eyes or cause eye strain, as opposed to simply causing some issues to your sleep schedule.

Weirdo

Was searching for that comment, cause I was thinking, that i couldnt be the only one. 😅

@@strnbrgxprt1627 first thing I did too 😆😆

"normal" means what around 66% of people achieve.

That's a good point. While blue light is very likely to cause retinal damage in older individuals (due to lipofuscin accumulation) digital devices are not going to be the primary source of exposure. Rather, all sources of bright light can (and will) cause this form of damage. Not just sunlight, but molecules in the sky also scatter both blue and UV radiation very efficiently (via Rayleigh scattering) meaning that simply looking up at the sky without orange-ish sunglasses can be more harmful than looking at a digital screen in a dark room (which, of course, is also potentially harmful for older individuals with more lipofuscin). That's probably the reason why we haven't seen significantly increased rates of age-associated macular degeneration in the digital age―after all, more screen time presumably means less time spent outdoors.

The character and intensity of blue light from a device (eg LED) and the sun are not comparable.

@@Acetyl53 yes. Intensity of the sun is much much higher. That's why blue light from screens is not at all harmful during the day. And at night you can turn on night mode on the device. No need for any special glasses.

Not a doctor, and this is not medical advice, but while iritis is not "curable," it is certainly treatable. Acute cases can pop up and then go away forever after a course of treatment. Some people experience chronic iritis. Is this a chronic case? At the eye clinic where I work, they most often prescribe Pred Forte, which is a fairly cheap and common ophthalmic steroid drop, available in generic form. Of course, an Rx is still needed for this. The aim is to reduce inflammation and quiet the eye(s) down until the episode passes. I would talk to the doctor and tell them that the price of the medication they've prescribed is prohibitive and ask if they could please prescribe a more affordable alternative. If a steroid is all that's needed, Pred Forte should do the trick. If your child's case is chronic, my experience suggests a systemic issue possibly requiring intervention by other medical specialists, likely a Rheumatologist. It's not safe to be on steroids for very long periods of time, and other specialists are trained to properly diagnose and treat cases requiring so-called "steroid-sparing drugs" such as Methotrexate. This may be an avenue to discuss with your child's eye doctor.

Not to make light of your situation, but it’s kinda funny how an average person could hear iritis and think it would spelled “eyeritis” because it’s a condition pertaining to your eyes. It does specifically refer to the iris though. Another name is uveitis.

Snakes and salesmen will always speak nicely and put alot of effort in when they have a degree allowing them to convince you to spend hundreds on eye glasses. An optometrist running to remote areas can net up to 4k in a weekend for "charity work". Let alone their daily work

100% exactly what happened to me. Because of what this video said about bluelight I started looking at my phone in bed in the dark for 1 hour nightly until I started experiencing constant eye pain even seeing light flashes every day & night. Eyes blurry & burning daily that I regretted it deeply.

Optometrist and opthalmologist* sorry lol, I know someone on their way to become an opthalmologist and he's very picky about the difference, basically opthalmologist's are full on doctors and specialize in the eyes, while optometrist can't do as much I guess? Pediatrist are in the same category as optometrist apparently, where they can't do as much stuff as other doctors. Keep in mind this is all second hand information, so I could be wrong about my explanations! Both careers are highly respectable!

@@alyssaurus17 Both are doctors, but think of ophthalmologists as the specialist performing eye surgeries/procedures, and the optometrist as your primary eye care provider that can diagnose/manage ocular conditions that do not involve major surgeries/procedures :) (I am an optometrist in the US)

@@ahhhhitsteresa where I am from (HK) optometrists study a different 4-year degree while ophthalmologists study a 6 year medical degree plus 6-7 years of specialty training- I guess they’re different everywhere?

@@dgfll Yes it definitely varies by country! Optometrists in the US are probably the most medically trained by comparison to other countries.

I am also *super* sensitive to that. People always think I would exaggerate, but sun glare really is in my top 5 list of things I really hate.

Simon, I thought that children DO see worse wearing glasses hence, Ortho-K, multifocus lenses, atropine, to slow myopia progression. Whereas, if kids do nothing except get more powerful glasses over time - their myopia will worsen?

@@Allan-et5ig Actually two interesting seperate issues/theories. It has been shown that wearing the correct myopic prescription tends to stop the eye progressively getting worse (longer) COMPARED TO under prescribing/not wearing spectacles. Myopia will progress anyway through teenage years as the eye naturally grows depending on hertitage/genetics. Myopia management as you mention correctly is a "new" way of considering how to stem the axial growth of the eye by tricking it by blurring the peripheral vision. This can be achieved with special spectacle lenses or contacts such as the Coopervision MiSight lens. Atropine in a very low dose can reduce the power of the focusing system (accommodation) which again is thought to be a factor in myopic progression (actually perhaps the most effective method of slowing down the progression of myopia) OrthoK is a method of correction of the vision, but without the peripheral challenges of spectacles - again some evidence to show this works well. So... In summary... A massive topic area. Spectacles do not cause a prescription to get worse - infact it protects against some myopia progression (no effect whatsoever on hyperopia (very slight only) or astigmatism).

That's supposed to be your job. Patients ask a professional to educate themselves. Instead you make it seem as if its 'bother' and that's unfortunate.

@@Dorlinedainwen oh trust me I do. But with a limited time in a clinic (20mins per patient here where I am) it limits time between extensive questions and answers and then patient care of looking for eye disease. Hense why this excellent video would explain several of the most common myths asked every day.

@@MrSRMatthews How do they test whether glasses make vision worse? Also what about the other question that I feel makes more sense rather than asking if they make vision worse: Do glasses prevent/lock out your vision from improving? Glasses help vision but I feel our eyes would adapt to having glasses somewhat.

They literally said that in the video 😭 the question was if eye exercises can improve vision which isnt true

They said that in the video. So please wait before commenting.

@@mariam-ch4in it depends on the definition of the word vision. Vision is not just refractive errors.

What is eye excercise??

easier to say Ig

Dr. Banik is an ophthalmologist. Dr. Tsai is an optometrist.

Fun fact: In German language, they do.

probably because both are eye doctors but one is an MD and the other is OD, so referring to both as ophthalmologists wouldn't be correct

What about making a necklace pendant out of transparent red or green glass and when you are not sure, look through it to see if it gets darker or not?

@@bingkoiE My bf was hit with it at a young age as well. From what I've seen, he's worn glasses since kinder.

Blue light cause issue over a very long time and will raise the risks of early cataract and AMD. So while it have no immediate effect like a lot of people say, it is nocive. (And the sun produce a more turquoise kind of light that is beneficial and it' s different than the purpleish blue light from screens and led)

@@SheinelI Over a "very long time." Well, I've spent the last couple decades staring at screens several hours a day, everyday. I work in the tech industry and have also known people who have been in this business much longer than I have, 30+ years older than I am, who still have amazing vision while there are others I've known who never spend time in front of screens that have suffered vision loss and/or cataracts before they even hit their teenage years.

A new study said it has something to do with insufficient exposure to sunlight, but the research is still going on

@@eyeballpapercut4400 That makes some sense actually! I also have ocular rosacea so my eyes definitely do have insufficient exposure to sunlight too.
