    This meme was meant for me

    I’m getting older and I find that I have a bit more trouble reading with my contacts in.

    I had been just wearing my glasses and taking them off all the time as I’m pretty nearsighted.

    The last week or so I’ve been experimenting with one contact. My natural nearsightedness takes care of the close stuff, then my corrected contact for anything past four feet or so.

    All that to say, quite unnecessarily, that I’ve experienced the world as simultaneously fuzzy and clear and have been trying to figure out what’s blurry for days.

    I’ve had this, when I was silly enough to not wear protective eyewear when growing.

    I know it may sound silly to many people, though grow lights are bright as fuck these days. The ones I started with were fine, but my current ones on maximum power are so bright they affect my vision when I look into my tent for longer than a few minutes.
    Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone getting into or considering growing plants indoors, as this isn’t something I’ve even seen mentioned much: if you have sensitive eyes, definitely grab some lenses for grow lights they make an incredible difference. They’re much stronger than they used to be, and the linings in tents help spread and reflect this too.

    Without the lenses my vision is like this picture, for a good half hour or so before it goes back to normal, in one eye. Genuinely worried me! Be safe!

      Remember when the Pixel 1 came out? Well, when I close my eyes I can still see the horizontal lines of the led flash/flashlight.

      Be careful with those phone flashlights, especially in the dark.
