The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones in our eye. You can check the image of the rainbow photo above. How many colors do you count? A computer only shows a limited number of shades so this test is limited to "normal" ranges of human perception.

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). 25% of the population is tetrachromat. 🤔

Tomorrow holds a world unknown, With hopes as high as mountains tall, A chance to see the beauty shown, Or face a darkness that could fall. The fear, it grips my heart so tight, Of what could be or might not be, To wake and find a world in light, Or lose the sight that sets me free. Yet courage calls me to this day, To take the chance, to dare, to dream, For in the risk, there lies the way, To find the beauty in life's gleam. If I should wake to colors bright, The world unveiled, a vivid scene, I'll cherish every ray of light, And every shade and in-between. But if the darkness is my fate, I'll hold the memories close, secure, Of all the beauty known to date, And find new ways to feel, for sure. For life is more than what we see, It's felt in every touch and sound, In every breath, in every plea, In love and hope that knows no bound. So is it worth this leap I take? To risk the sight for dreams so grand? Yes, for in this choice, I stake, The faith to reach and understand.

Here’s a fun fact about me - I am long sighted in one eye and short sighted in the other. I have two different prescriptions in my glasses, and when I’m not wearing them I can hardly see, everything’s all blurry. So yeah, that’s fun.

So on my quest to find knowledge for the year as apart of my resolution, I've come across a comment on a Mogul Mail video that mentioned that the sun was good for the eyes. I was curious so I've taken to do a little digging, found some interesting articles and a New York Times article that I can't read about it (Fuck you New York Times, I shouldn't have to pay to get genuinely good information to know). A lot of the articles say a lot of similar things and one article in particular said that half the world's population would be near sighted by 2050. Yeah. That's as of January 4th of 2024 about 25 years from now. This with the combination of genetics and future generations not going outside as much thanks to our electronic devices. I'm gonna do some more digging about this information, however I suggest ya'll look this up yourselves and you can tell the ipad kids to GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE! THEY DON'T NEED SKIBIDI TOILET! Their sense of sight is important.

Guess who got new glasses finally! Is this really how everyone sees?! It’s all…dimensional! 3D! I feel robbed and cheated to have watched all my favorite shows with such 2D vision 🥲 guess I’ll just have to watch them all over again!

It’s frankly absurd that eye and dental insurance are luxuries that not every job covers.

Your eyes, you know, your ability to see. Especially for people with glasses, we can’t choose to not wear glasses? So what then? We just go blind. Keep an old prescription and just let our vision deteriorate?

Dental health, despite what so many think, is so so so imperative to your overall health. Dental emergencies can lead to detrimental side effects and in extreme cases death.

Health insurance should be free and universal period. But as someone unemployed and in desperate need of eye and dental insurance it’s even more frustrating. even IF a miracle happens and I get a job, the likelihood of it providing eye and dental is incredibly low.

I be alive and i would hunt but i wouldnt be able to see what i was hunting

*this is just about having medical needs that would have meant death without modern medicine, so no ‘I’d probably die from not being able to distinguish the blur as a lion’ we have a healthy caveman squad who cares for each other, we just also dont have, yknow, penicilin. etcetera.

pls reblog for sample size etc

follow for more occasional useless polls :)

Currently I'm blind in my left eye and now my right is acting up. Everything on my phone is in dark mode and text is as large as I can get it so I can see better. I'm really stressed out and freaking out because insurance sucks and the eye doctor is taking their sweet time.

Vision

If you're reading this, you're looking at either a phone, tablet or computer screen. In short, you're looking at something close to your face. To compensate, look at something in the distance as often as possible, preferably outside. Your eyes will thank you.

Feeling compelled to take a moment to document this saddest looking little dog I saw today.
