My eyes are broken
« on: June 15, 2023, 04:52:26 AM »
Hey, so remember that tech support thread I made because I misread the bottom? And how I accidentally debated in Q&A because I thought I was in Debate?

I went to the optometrist yesterday, turns out my sphere was off by like 0.5 on both eyes. I'm getting new lenses next week. Do y'all have any eye-based woes?

Posting something in Q&A is a mistake we've all made.  Us vets know to never go near it.

I mean, that is a genuine flaw with the FE mindset for me; I'm supposed to trust my perception, but my perceptions are either heavily distorted or heavily blurred at all times. How can I trust anything I see?

I have the eye related woes of getting old, made worse by staring at a computer too much.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Thanks to the wonderful NHS I have had cataracts removed and new lenses installed in both eyes.

I will not see a doctor who doesn't acknowledge that eye"balls" are really flat.

You have a RE mindset. That's why your eyes can't see objects flat. The computer screen is flat. If you force yourself to think it like a sphere, then you will inevitably have eye problems because of eye-brain mismatch.

That's not my point. The problem is that without glasses, my vision is a blurry mess (near and far, astigmatism.) So, any flat object has a hazy outline that kind of looks like it could be round or flat. I can feel the computer screen, but I can't feel the horizon.

With glasses on, the world distorts. And trust me, it can distort pretty heavily. 16:9 is approaching 4:3 for me, and objects get shifted toward the center of my vision. I can't trust that vision either, because round objects get distorted as they're pulled towards the center to look flat, and vice versa.

My mindset isn't RE. I do believe in RE, but I could absolutely be swayed. Just not by my own perceptions. Which is a problem, because the whole idea is to trust only my own research and my own perception. I love hiking. I've climbed up a bunch of mountains in my area, and the horizon looks rounded with my glasses on from the top. I can't really make it out without them.
