I love my glasses. I cannot see myself without my glasses. Everything is fuzzy without my glasses. If I drive at night without them, thats probably super dangerous. Hope you enjoyed the engagement. Xoxo
Wait what? Apart from all the bogus, she thinks you can change your eycolour? 😂😂😂😂 That's like believeing you can change your skincolour. both ahve to do with pigmentation. No pigmentation=blue eyes (it reflects the blood vessels on the back of the eye) a little pigmentation= green eyes (the rarest eye colour) and more than a little pigmentation: brown eyes (the majority of people around the world have brown eyes). The only way you can change the colour of your eyes is by coloured contact lenses. I am wearing glasses since the age of 24. I noticed that i couldn't read road signs at distances i was used to. So i went to the eye doctor and got glasses. The doctor said "you are the first here who is happy to get glasses". To which i answered "I am not happy to get glasses, i am happy to see sharp and clear again."
i was telling my mom about this shit and (she works at a dental office) she just told me that at her office they had a parent refuse to book his kid for necessary cavity fillings bc he read online that you can "regrow teeth" ????🤦♂️ im sure he got that from someone just like this shilling some mlm on tiktok and telling them dental care is a scam. genuinely evil
Just to let you know, you can get jean glasses frames. Like nice, handmade ones with brass hinges that's made from layering denim and resin. I can't remember the name of the creator, but I believe they are sold as sunglasses, but you can pop out the glass and put new ones in, if you get a good optician. I know there is a big name brand that does a denim glasses, but they are not as good
i just wanna say thank you for starting the video with like. actual helpful information, and your own experiences with vision / impairment etc. it is a good contrast to the rest of the video lmfao.
I lied in 5th grade to get glasses like my best friend… worst mistake of my life and I now make sure to tell my kids often not to lie on those tests no matter what- there’s always fake glasses if they like the look of them. As I got into my teen years I didn’t want to wear them all the time, but no huge consequences. Well I’m 30 now and at about age 25 I lost my glasses and it took months to get in to be seen. That’s when I noticed I can’t even see my kids faces when they’re out playing I literally know who/where they are based on what they are dressed in that day. Now I wear them all the time unless I’m relaxing in my house not straining my eyes. I wish I could afford contacts sooooo bad because it sucks in certain situations like rain and when they fog up or a physical activity maybe the glasses don’t match your outfit etc. 😢 don’t be like me kids 😂
At -10 in both eyes plus astigmatism, my glasses are bottle caps even with the fancy thinner lenses. I wear contracts most of the time. I couldn't image just thinking, "hmm, I can't see more than 3 inches from my face, must be something other than my eyes and genetics."
I have had glasses for a year now but I don't wear them since my parents make a big deal about me wearing them to the point I don't feel comfortable. (Just like wearing dresses and leaving my room two other things I have a problem doing)
I got my first glasses at three years old. Twenty-five years later, I usually only wear my glasses outside and to drive my car. At home, I don't. It is always funny when I put my glasses on after a few days to notice how bad my vision was beforehand. I just didn't recognize it because I was used to it. Just like we were used to SD television and today it looks horrible compared to HD. Yes, I can see without my glasses but I can see much better with glasses. And while I don't mind seeing my home in 360p, I prefer to see traffic in 4k.
i love how a bunch of glasses wearers just grouped together to make fun of this. it’s like saying that taking off my glasses to make the board all blurry and then putting them back on and doing that over and over again during the most boring of lectures is actually helping my vision.
I've had glasses since I was like 8, I can't see far, and i have astigmatism. I'd love to believe that taking an antiglasses course would cure my optometry issues, but I'm pretty sure I need to wear contact lenses/glasses for the rest of my life. I'm ok with that!! This whole course sounds like a load of BS, tbh. Thanks Amanda for taking this course and enlightening us.
back when i was younger and first realized my eyesight was going bad i avoided getting glasses for a long time because i thought the "heal your eyes through eye exercises" stuff was real and would definitely fix my eyes anyway. i finally gave in and got glasses because i was always having to sit at the back in college and couldnt see the powerpoint, and i found out from my eye exam that my eye exercises did jack shit.
also same, i dont use my glasses as much as i should and i usually end up not changing my prescription when i really should cause its expensive (or i forget). this entire video wasa good reminder to me to take better care of my eyes lol.
Thank you for this valuable PSA! WOW there is so much wrong with this corner of the influencer world…
In stopped clock news, the advice about getting sunlight on your face actually inches closer to something true: apparently exposure to sunlight releases dopamine in the retina which seems to mitigate the rate at which the eyeball elongates / myopia develops. (I don't think I can put the link here, but the article is "The World Is Going Blind. Taiwan Offers a Warning, and a Cure " in Wired) But obviously that's not a cure, that's not a 100% prevention, it's just a factor that goes into whether and at at what rate myopia develops, research is ongoing, etc etc etc…
My optometry journey started early and I have several anecdotes.
My dad had glasses, my mom did not. My dad had a lot of eye surgeries in the military because soldiers with glasses are expensive. His eyes had a lot of problems, and most of the standard treatments only worsened it for him, and he's medically skeptical anyway, and that passed on to me.
When I was in Elementary school, I definitely needed glasses, and the school nurse did eye exams with all of us. Because she called it a vision test, and I'm a good student, I "study" before the exams in 4th and 5th grade and memorized the chart before it was my turn, so she said I could see fine. In sixth grade, we had white boards for the first time, and my teachers would write on them with various colored markers. I asked my teacher if she could just use the black and blue markers because I couldn't see the red and the green, and I also had to move up to the front of class all the time to see. My homeroom teacher reached out to my parents when this became too distracting (which no teacher could do nowadays and it's so sad) and told them I probably needed glasses. Went to the optometrist and couldn't study in advanced. My vision was TERRIBLE, it's amazing I could get through the day at all.
I got my first pair of glasses and remember commenting on the leaves in the trees being individual and not just green blobs. I started drawing trees differently after that it was so mind-blowing. My prescription changed every year for about 10 years, and then finally started to settle.
However, my eye pressures started to creep up. My dad always had high eye pressure, and he could take statin medication for it, so he just always dealt with it. I sat on that as my own excuse for a few years, but my new optometrist fought me on it. She did several tests to prove that it wasn't "just thick corneas", "statin sensitivity", "just the time of day", etc and put me on non-statin eye drops. My pressures went from low thirties to high teens in 6 months on the medication and my migraines are fewer and less intense. I hate having to wear glasses or contacts.
My husband has 20/20 vision and our two children can see as well as they are expected to at their ages. I hate waking up and having to put on my glasses to function. I hate having to wear contacts just so I can wear sunglasses if I'm going to be outside all day. I hate not being able to see when I go swimming because the water irritates my contacts or gets water all over my glasses. Poor vision really is an inconvenience. I'm still not gonna do the bs this influencer is suggesting.
Some of the statements or claims made really irritate me. I have blue eyes and my eyes still suck. My dad has hazel eyes, and his vision sucks. My husband has hazel eyes, and he's fine. My sister has green eyes and her vision is fine. Eye color means nothing. It bothers me that all of these "self improvement" influencers are ALWAYS selling something. Like their messages sound fine and not too harmful and the "BUY MY ESSENTIAL OILS AND RUB THEM ON YOUR FACE OR NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK" just…. uggh.
I do agree that you can take "vision breaks" and help your eyes. Sometimes my glasses or contacts ARE the problem behind some other ailments. If I'm having a particularly bad sinus inflammation day, I'll go long periods of time just not seeing because it hurts or irritates my sinuses to wear my glasses or contacts. Sometimes when I have a migraine, it helps to not wear my glasses or contacts and just not see especially if I'm dealing with light sensitivity. One day, when I've hit my deductible and max-out-of-pocket and insurance will cover Lasik, I'll get Lasik. But for now, the inconvenience shall persist.
Can we also talk about the microaggressions that come along with holistic health? How if these tips don't work for you that you're just not enough of a believer? My gastro doc would never tell me that my IBS is because I don't believe in the healing power of probiotics enough like??? When you're sick long-term you're desperate for solutions & that's when they prey on you. I was very ill and had a holistic medicine "specialist" tell me that I didn't want to get better because her supplements weren't working for me. Imagine how damaging that can be for people who are already chronically ill?
Soooo appreciate how you touched on the whole holistic medicine ONLY kind of treatment. A coworker of mine had twin sisters who both contracted cancer. One twin continued her chemo and is alive today, the other was convinced by a "family friend" to go holistic and give up her chemo and unfortunately died. It was such a preventable tragedy.
the mercury amalgm is just normal dental fillings and they're perfectly safe! the mercury stays put in the tooth and does not get absorbed. there's been multiple tests and studies that have found it doesn't raise mercury levels by any appreciable amount, especially compared to eg eating a tin of tuna.
27:30 hey Amanda, the mercury she is talking about here is regular amalgam fillings, the kind everyone used to get. Yes they were made out of a mercury amalgam, key here being AMALGAM. There is no proof anybody has ever been hurt by an amalgam filling, but "holistic" dentists have been preaching the removal of them for many years. People claim the most diverse illnesses from amalgam fillings.
In fact it costs a lot of money to remove them and is usually worse for the patient. But a lot of people are really scared of amalgam because it contains mercury. And the ones that remove them make a lot of money. Also, a lot of woo merchants sell "cures" for people who have been "hurt" by their amalgam fillings.
The fluoride thing is also a red flag. Your teeth need fluoride. In Sweden the water doesn't contain fluoride so we use fluoridated toothpaste. But holistic stores sell "aloe vera toothpaste" without fluoride. It's not good. I mean, you don't have to eat your tootpaste, you can get too much fluoride, but people are claiming it is a poison. You do need fluoride in your diet.
I don't know about this blue eyes being the norm thing. I mean, I am as Swedish as you get and I don't have blue eyes. It's pretty rare even in our "blonde and blue eyed" country
Lol the "just girlboss your way to perfect eyesight is literally how i got glasses"
I didnt wear glasses until i was 11, when i started to geg weird headaches in school. Thankfully, bad eyesight runs in my dads family, along with a tendency to miss it in tje girls until their school grades drop or sth else happens. The fam isnt great at doing routine checks 😅
So when the headaches happened, my dads first thought was…. maybe its time for an eye test. Result: i was shortsighted and the headacjes were likely caused by the strain it was causing me. My eyes and brain were doing double time to compensate for the eyesight. I got glasses and the headaches were gone within a week.
I didn’t need glasses most of my life but now I’m nearly middle age, my astigmatism is noticeable. I mainly wear glasses outside the house because I like to see further. At home it makes the tv clearer but it’s not worth the effort.
Essential oils are the bane of my existence as an autistic person with a "crunchy" mom. They do not cure autism. Autism doesn't need to be cured same with needing glasses. Let people have differences. Stop trying to make us all the exact same
i wear glasses and have pretty severe visual snow (kind of like random noise that can cause migraines and headaches, particularly when looking at blank surfaces or in harsh white lighting). if i didn't wear my glasses my vision would have deteriorated. having a stigmatism as well (and according to one optometrist, "eyes shaped like footballs"), glasses are and have always been mobility aids. it is INCREDIBLY concerning and disheartening to see parents are being swindled by this lunatic into sacrificing their children's vision over fear mongering propaganda. the earliest recorded use of glasses is from 1268 by roger bacon. they are ancient and have stood the test of time precisely because they have been so necessary to human health and livelihood. glasses are a staple of human invention and mobility aid and to deny that fact and pretend its anything more sinister is an act of selfishness and purposeful deceit for monetary gain. shameful, shameful, infuriating behavior on this woman's part and other like her peddling these ableist ideas.
12:13 the only thing i can think of there where diet and nutrition could impact your eyesight is if you’re diabetic? My mom is diabetic and her sight has fluctuated a lot with different treatment, but otherwise it shouldn’t have much of an effect
I call total bullshit on that masterclass. I first time I have gone to an optometrist as an adult was to look for a pain in my eye. I get out with a prescription. It didn't resolv the problem I was consulting for –turns out it was a neurological problem call cluster headhaches–, but it stops my eyes fatigue and the blury blob I didn't know it wasn't normal. I have low astigmatisme and low myopi. I'm happy to have my glasses.
16:34 I'm gonna' buy a trenchcoat.
As a person who cant see without his glasses,i can confirm no glasses is a lie
As somebody who is legally blind and has been sent that tiktok as a joke a few times, haha YIKES that woman needs to be sued
I love my glasses. I cannot see myself without my glasses. Everything is fuzzy without my glasses. If I drive at night without them, thats probably super dangerous. Hope you enjoyed the engagement. Xoxo

Dream powder sounds like something a guy in a cargo van might have.

anti glasses gang
hmmm… i feel like kurtis copied ur vid dawgie
Did Kurtis conner…
I really love how you weave in social issues and awareness of the impact of mental health in this video. It was somehow comforting to listen to.
I was kicked in the eye once. Theres a burst blood vessel that you can see when I look a certain direction.
Just to let you know, you can get jean glasses frames. Like nice, handmade ones with brass hinges that's made from layering denim and resin.

23:09 i got peppermint oil in my eyes once. Would not recommend.
THANK YOU for the eyeball warning. <3
Me and my contacts wearing ahh running over here to laugh 🤣😂😂
i just wanna say thank you for starting the video with like. actual helpful information, and your own experiences with vision / impairment etc. it is a good contrast to the rest of the video lmfao.
Watching through squinted eyes cuz I put peppermint + avocado oil around them
I lied in 5th grade to get glasses like my best friend… worst mistake of my life and I now make sure to tell my kids often not to lie on those tests no matter what- there’s always fake glasses if they like the look of them.

My brother has trauma near his eye for the same reason 😫 what’s with little kids and slamming into sharp things after bathing ????
27:24 the mercury in the mouth the person is talking about here are dental fillings. Yes, scary but true that dental fillings used to be MERCURY
I cannot believe this is a real thing.
At -10 in both eyes plus astigmatism, my glasses are bottle caps even with the fancy thinner lenses. I wear contracts most of the time. I couldn't image just thinking, "hmm, I can't see more than 3 inches from my face, must be something other than my eyes and genetics."
I gotta say this video would have been ten times funnier if the sponsor was like warby parker or glasses usa or something

Completely glossed over the fact that the testimonial person had a prescription of -2. I didn't even wear glasses at -2.
