Could Exercise Help Prevent Eye Damage?
In a world dominated by screens and digital devices, our eyes are subjected to unprecedented strain. The burning question on many minds is, "Could Exercise Help Prevent Eye Damage?" The answer lies in understanding the intricate connection between physical activity and eye health.
Importance of Eye Health
- Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Eyes
Our modern lifestyle has revolutionized the way we live, but it hasn't been kind to our eyes. Prolonged exposure to screens, be it from smartphones or computers, has become inevitable, leading to increased eye fatigue and strain.
- The Role of Exercise in Eye Health
Exercise emerges as a beacon of hope in this scenario. Regular physical activity has been linked to numerous health benefits, and its positive impact on eye health is gaining recognition.
Understanding Eye Damage
- Common Causes of Eye Damage
Before delving into the potential benefits of exercise, it's crucial to understand the common causes of eye damage. Factors like prolonged screen time, inadequate rest, and exposure to environmental pollutants can contribute to eye-related issues.
- Long-Term Effects of Neglecting Eye Care
Neglecting eye care can result in long-term consequences such as myopia, astigmatism, and even age-related conditions like macular degeneration. The importance of proactive eye care cannot be overstated.
Benefits of Exercise for Eyes
- Improved Blood Circulation
Exercise, especially cardiovascular activities, enhances blood circulation throughout the body, including the eyes. Improved blood flow means better delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to ocular tissues.
- Reduced Risk of Age-Related Conditions
As we age, the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts increases. Engaging in regular exercise has been shown to mitigate this risk, promoting long-term eye health.
- Enhanced Oxygen Supply to Eyes
The eyes thrive on oxygen. Exercise promotes efficient oxygen supply, ensuring that ocular tissues receive the necessary oxygen levels to function optimally.
Types of Exercises for Eye Health
- Eye Exercises
Specific exercises targeting eye muscles can alleviate strain and enhance flexibility. From eye rolls to focusing exercises, incorporating these into your routine can contribute to overall eye well-being.
- General Physical Activities
Beyond specific eye exercises, general physical activities like walking, jogging, or cycling can indirectly benefit eye health by improving overall circulation.
Incorporating Exercise into Daily Routine
- Simple Exercises for Eye Health
Integrating eye exercises into your daily routine doesn't have to be complicated. Simple practices like the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes) can work wonders.
- Tips for Balancing Screen Time
While exercise is beneficial, striking a balance is key. Managing screen time, taking regular breaks, and adopting ergonomic workstations are essential components of holistic eye care.
Could Exercise Help Prevent Eye Damage?
- Research and Studies
Scientific research supports the idea that exercise could play a pivotal role in preventing eye damage. Studies have indicated a positive correlation between regular physical activity and a reduced risk of various eye-related issues.
- Expert Opinions
Experts in ophthalmology endorse the significance of exercise in maintaining eye health. Dr. Sarah Johnson, a renowned ophthalmologist, emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach, including exercise, for preventing eye damage.

please i’d LOVE to hear your thoughts about transmasc!oswald
OKAY SO !!! It’s based a little off an au I’m writing where things are slightly removed from canon (bc the writers and fox are my enemies!!!)
We all know Oswald can sing, right? I think that paired with Fish’s pretty obvious misogyny towards other women would have left Oswald with only one real option when it came to joining her ranks — ✨ a show girl ✨
Singing on stage like a caged bird and being grabbed at by men while serving drinks would fill him with such a bubbling, violent rage that would only compound when he finally gets Fish’s attention. She’d make his life miserable; talking down to him, putting him in degrading positions for his audacity of wanting to be more. He would become her little project; her punching bag. She’d try and craft him into something she could use and throw away as opposed to seeing him for his true, lengthy potential. It would be a much tougher fight for him to reach where he wants to be but I think it also gives him some advantages! (Sneaking out dressed as a man and no one ever noticing so it’s a perfect disguise 😭🙏)
Instead of Falcone finding him and slipping into Maroni’s hands, in this version I think he would take on more on an Eliza role. Falcone finds him interesting and Fish, always seeking an opportunity, practically gives Oswald to him. Os, sensing his own moment, comes clean to Falcone as soon as they are alone; detailing every little moment and word Fish has said about Falcone including her orders to help undermine him. Falcone, who we KNOW is a gentleman, would instantly strike up a bargain of Oswald pretending to be his lover and they’d both play their parts while Oswald continues to spy on Fish instead with Falcone’s protection. (Untouchable Sugar baby Oswald my beloved…….)
It would lead on to a lot of canon events of Fish targeting Falcone’s money but this time failing big time because Os had snitched on their plans. Fish being strung up for apology, butch helping her escape etc. But I still think it puts him a better position once taking over her club. Falcone would ask what he could do to repay him for all his hard work and Oswald would ask not only for more respect and a better position but come clean about being trans and wanting to start presenting the way he wants!
By the time the club is reopened, it’s as if Oswald Cobblepot just magically appeared in Fish’s spot, having always been a man in the eyes of the family 💕

i also should probably grapple with the fact that technically in the fic proper ultimate despair (as in the group, not as in junko (and mukuro)) are still at full power.
like.
dr2 tells us that when junko died the vast majority of ultimate despair committed suicide. that's why the remnants are called remnants - they are literally the remnants, the remaining pieces, of ultimate despair, the ones who didn't commit suicide when junko died graphically on screen at the conclusion of the killing game.
(they probably wouldn't refer to themselves as remnants. they would refer to themselves as members of ultimate despair. the other members might refer to them by a very specific name, since they would be considered junko's inner circle, but it wouldn't be remnants. it would be something else.)
((and the idea of izuru as junko's left hand man where mukuro is her right. or even that he's her right hand man, this secret shadowy figure who primarily operates in the shadows, who no one knows, who they suspect exists but no one's ever really met. just a bogey story within ultimate despair. (like maybe there are other remnants of despair who aren't that inner circle who whisper about junko's right hand man stepping in and taking over now that she's gone. but that's a different story. maybe.)))
anyway.
in oaei, junko doesn't die. she is not murdered graphically on screen. sure, sure, she might be staying in the old building of hpa, but she's still alive. and that changes things.
if junko's not dead, then the vast majority of ultimate despair did not commit suicide. they're still alive, functioning just the way they're supposed to, with the assumption that junko's got a plan or something.
(this also supposes that either 1) the vast majority of ultimate despair knew that junko was their leader already or 2) that whatever she brainwashed them with required them to die when she did. like - for them to commit suicide over her death, they would have had to believe that she was their leader and not just another operative within their ranks. you know?)
but like.
this means in oafc, ultimate despair is still functioning at full power. they don't really need junko out doing things in the world for them to continue as they have been; she's been trapped in the old building and separate from them for quite a while and they've been doing just fine, actually. so as long as she's not dead, they're not dead and still going.
things i should probably address at some point.
