How shitty people can be about disability never fails to disappoint, tbh. I tend not to bring it up unless it's mentioned these days: there's no point, that ignorance has deep roots and I'm not here to educate people.

I can’t deal with the endless useless quack “medical advice” either. My consultants know more than you please leave me alone.

I literally just ignore that stuff now. As if they are a tiny zephyr that crossed the room, unnoticed. A ghost fart.

It’s usually “Oh you have epilepsy, the chemicals in the meds are dangerous, try cannabis oil/some crap in Holland and Barratt” but this week someone told me to get a “Bates teacher” to train my eyes not to be shortsighted. I’m -14.

Oh Jesus. It's legal to punch people in this situation. Surely.

Had never heard of such a thing, googled, and all the websites looked extremely Geocities and hippy. I’ll stick to Specsavers, thanks, plus I get money off thanks to NHS help for very poor sight.

I'm minus ten in one eye. I get a whole 14 quid given I'm now long sighted as well. But yes Specsavers are cheap. I don't bother with varifocals just get my glasses made to my reading prescription.

I'm on my first set of varifocals. Not sure about it.

I also get the pathetic £17.60 off, plus free eye tests. I buy frames from TK Maxx for £20 then get Specsavers to just put lenses in to aave money (but the lenses still cost £120) My current pair. What do varifocsls do?pic.twitter.com/pkIc9w3pcX

Oh I like them. Varifocals are for old people who are both long sighted (due to age) and short sighted (due to being born with funny shaped eyeballs). So the top bit is distance, the middle is neutral and the bottom is reading, I think.

Oh, fascinating. I have rugby ball shaped eyes (yay astigmatism) but am just straight short sighted.

Yeah my eyeballs are a v weird shape and I have a degree of astigmatism. The fun bit is that once you get older you have a much higher chance of retinal detachment.

Yeah, I’ve been warned about that all my life. Was told not to play rugby at school, but still joined the team. But my opthalmologist at the hospital said my eyes are perfectly healthy, I just have a short tear break up time.
