Incidentally, eating too much carrots can cause carotenosis, making your skin turn yellow. It's a benign condition and can be reversed by decreasing the intake of carotenoids, which is the stuff found in carrots that is converted to vitamin A.

You can t be arrested for being illegally blind. It means that you are blind by the legal definition meaning you qualify for benefits or if you are in court for some unrelated reason, you d be considered blind. It s just a legal definition, a cutoff for the law to acknowledge that you are blind. It s like being legally married. You won t get arrested for not being legally married, but you can t file taxes jointly unless you are.

Weirdly enough, my vision has greatly improved as I got older. As a teenager, my vision was -3. 25 in one eye and -3. 50 in the other. Now that I'm close to 60 years old, my vision is -1. 25 in one eye and -1. 50 in the other. The assumption is, of course, that our vision gets worse as we get older. Not sure why my vision has improved, unless it can be linked to a healthier diet.

I am glad to hear that blue light isn't actually damaging. My full time job is working on the computer, but I never opted to get the blue light filter which would always shock my optometrist. But the truth is, I need to see colours correctly with my job and the filter interferes with that too much. I was always worried I was choosing to ruin my eyes to be able to pay my bills

The carrot thing is also a bit of a myth, started by the military. When we first developed radar our pilots were able to use it to track enemy planes. People realized that somehow we were getting very good at seeing aircraft. To cover up the tech, we just made up an excuse that our pilots eat a lot of carrots and that's why they had good eyesight.

Wish they woulda talked about the future of eye technology a little bit as someone with -11 in both eyes (that s really bad if you don t know) I fear blindness is a certainty.
I would have loved to hear about gene therapy, eye replacement, or bionic implants that might provide some hope to those of us with seriously degraded eye sight.

In Space Cowboys, it was Donald Sutherland's character (if I recall correctly) that had memorized that eye chart. I remember thinking, are all eye charts the same? Maybe round-robin them? Granted, he needed to be able to prove he was still good to go into space. No real upside for the rest of us to memorize the chart.

This legaly blind does not apply everywhere, could be clarified in which country this is at.
I cannot clearly see the very top letter, still considered to be non-blind where I live. Gotta see like, almost nothing to be considered legally blind.
Still, nice video, really liking those explainations.

I always thought that legally blind meant that their sight was only CORRECTIBLE to 20/200. My uncorrected vision is about 20/800, but I am corrected to about 20/30 or 20/40 with corrective lenses. Am I actually legally blind?

Explain depth of field to me. My right eye is legally blind, so I don't have a depth of field (at least that's what the doctors say) How would you explain depth of field to someone who has never experienced it?

So being cross eyed can be prevented if corrective lenses are given before the brain starts to ignore the eye? In other words, I always thought it was a genetic issue, but it seems as if it's something that can be prevented.

I had Lasik surgery and now one eye sees clearly all the time and the other eye only sees clearly during the day. In the morning and in the evening my vision gets blurry with my right eye. Why would this happen?

My eyelashes are often falling out (and grow quickly enough, but they consistently fall inside the eye and not outside. Do I have to regularly use those cosmetic brushes?

Around 1/10 of India has had a conjunctivitis infection in the past two weeks.
I had my share too, in it. But dexamethasone eye drops came as a god sent gift.

Why do babies sometimes get born with cataracts? I was born with them, and they had to remove my lens. Now I can't see without hella thick glasses.

I have to get my eyes dilated each time because I have NF which causes me to grow benign tumours. Thankfully, I haven't had any in my eyes yet.
