Takeaways I started wearing glasses when I was in fifth grade. I learned about good visual habits in optometry school. I'm feeling like I'm getting early presbyopic symptoms. Definitely more clarity with the new prescription. I would cut that by half and try. It feels shaky almost like my ground is so shaky. I feel like I identify more with my type A side. This is more of my relaxed side of it. You might get more intuitive insights with different lenses. I love the way I was trained in optometry. Sound bites "Definitely more clarity." "I would cut that by half and try." "I love the way I was trained."

Yeah, so I started wearing glasses when I was in fifth grade and my optometrist prescribed me very strong minus lenses. and didn't tell me anything about visual habits. So I used to color and write really close to the page and I used to watch TV, you know, from the distance of this computer screen. And so my prescription just continued to climb and climb and climb throughout school. And it wasn't until optometry school that I learned about good visual habits, about, you know, relaxing your vision, going outside. you know, not being so glued to the screens, but you know, with COVID and technology nowadays, we're always on our screens. And so I do vision therapy with patients. And so I'm actively doing the exercises with them, especially the diverging activities. And what I'm finding is I'm approaching 36 now, and I'm feeling like I'm getting early presbyopic kind of symptoms where long-term near work, it's starting to give me strain and headaches and I even put a little bit of basin prism in my glasses just to help with that. But I'm still finding that my eyes get really tired by the end of the day. Okay, well one thing I can say right off the bat that could really help you is have you ever thought about one of these prescriptions? Yes, and that is what I I would love to strive to do that. So the way we should do this is if you've got some flippers and you can get them, then what will happen is I'm going to have you wear them over this. Yeah. Sam Berne (02:08.429) Okay, I've got it. I've done so this is a plus 50 I just want you to wear it over.
