I’m interested in the benefits of phototherapy or SAD light therapy but the boxes are too much for me to afford. Suggestion are you stare directly into this light and it has no UV. These lights are recommended 10,000 lux. So do you think i can just cheap out and use the sun?

I have a bright orange prom dress that poofs out at the end. It has tiny blue and orange beeds on it. I have a red hair, and I’m light-skinned. I am thinking about getting a spray-tan that is just one shade darker than my skin tone for my dress. I am not sure what color eye shadow to wear. I like the “smokey-eye” look, but I’m not sure what colors. Do you have any ideas?

Hi, I’m wearing spec and my eyes both are -2.0.

Do you have to wear spec/contacts everyday 24/7 except when you are going to sleep OR you just need to use it when really need it (on lecture, driving, etc).

Some of my friends say not to wear it 24/7 but some says you have to wear it 24/7 or you eye will get worsen.

Thanks

Is it better to wear a slightly weaker or a stronger eye prescription?

My optometrist is giving me the option of changing my glasses lens to either a “perfect” vision prescription (-4.00 in one eye and -3.75 in the other) but this seems to make me feel dizzy when I look at closer objects. Otherwise, she said she can give me a slightly weaker prescription that will be easier for me to get used to (-3.75 in one eye and -3.5 in the other) but this is not as clear when looking at objects at a distance. My question is this: Is it better for your eyes to wear a weaker prescription or a stronger prescription? If I wear a weaker prescription, will my eyes get tired and eventually get worse? If I wear a stronger prescription, will my eyes get weaker bec they are not “exercising” and also get worse? My optometrist said it was up to me but I just want whats best for my eyes in the long term!

My sight had not changed for years until a recent job change where I spend +9 hours a day on the computer - can they get better if I take more breaks and exercise them more?

I’ve been on treatment for 7 days and have not worn eye make-up. I was worried that removing the make-up (rubbing eyes) might worsen the condition, but I really don’t look forward to going without make up for several weeks. Will you comment please? Thank You.
Thanks, Paul!
