ASMR: Understanding your Eye Prescription (technical & simple)

[@Overwhelmer0]

I was wondering if you could build on this and shine a beam of light through some lenses to also show the different amounts of refraction each type of lens provides. Ie. How does a D.S change the beam of light vs a D.C (and also different axis) vs a prism.

[@SRPASMR]

What an absolutely incredible idea. I’m not sure I have the technology for that but I’m blow away with the idea. Truly. I’ll have a play around.

[@Overwhelmer0]

@@SRPASMR Thank you, that's my science teacher coming out :P You could look at getting a refraction light box to get the thin beam of light. It would most likely also come with some demonstration lenses and prisms. Hopefully you could also get it to work with your lenses?

[@peoplebabble6901]

as an apprentice in an opticians, this video is actually really helpful for me to be able to go through each part of the prescription at a slower pace and things that I need to take into account when a patient is choosing glasses! thank you for this!

[@SRPASMR]

It’s okay and be careful of lens thickness on those higher prescriptions. Also frame selection is crucial.

[@sabbya.8112]

I have had glasses since age 3. I am 50 nxt week. I struggle seeing well in my glasses. I have struggled for 5 years now. I am at about -20 dioptrines now and will try contact lenses as well. I don't want to give up. It is frustrating. Most optometrists are young and ummm and ahh when they see someone with really bad eyes. I live in australia. 😊 on top of that ive had a retinal detachment surgery and a blood bleed a few years ago. Now i have a scar in my left eye that is here to stay.

[@DJM1990]

I was relaxed till I realised he's writing on a whiteboard in permanent marker 😂 Being serious, never commented before but first became aware of experiencing ASMR as a kid at the opticians. Had no idea what it was and nearly fell off my chair when as an adult I stumbled upon an article about it online. SRPs videos tap right into those first experiences like no other :-)

[@Derek_Pixel]

To me it looks like a large sheet of paper on top a whiteboard. A whiteboard would probably be a bit more reflective and before he moves the board you can see that it doesn't fill the wood frame in the top right corner.

[@Done.since.2016]

@@Derek_Pixel it is a white board but you can usually get permanent marker off by going over it with an expo them wiping it off before the expo fully dries.

[@Baker_-fm2gk]

@@Derek_Pixel pretty sure it's a whiteboard, paper isn't reflective it also makes a sound when you write on paper

[@IamNotyou912]

99% isopropyl alcohol will do the trick and he would likely have it on hand.

I absolutely love this video, i think it would be interesting to have it at the end of one of the videos where he does an eye exam, I know it would make for a longer video than he normally does, but I think it would be worth it judging by the love this video has gotten on day one.

😂👍🏽

[@narelleworks8448]

Fascinating. I’ve been wearing glasses for 41 years and only knew I had astigmatism in that time. I couldn’t remember what it meant or how the glasses helped. I was silly enough to believe that correction glasses healed the problem. But every two years I needed stronger ones. Don’t know what happened to that because it’s cataracts now. I’ve reached the prescription limit. Laser next apparently. The woman I saw was impatient with each question I asked. I enjoyed your explanation and felt so very relaxed. I’ll need to find my script and see what I can learn from it. 💜🇦🇺

[@SRPASMR]

Cool, thank you. Following successful cataract surgery, you should see a vast visual improvement. Colours, contrast and vision should improve. Some people still require distance correction afterwards though.

[@kiranearitachi]

Always wondered this but never had an excuse to look it up

[@SRPASMR]

Hopefully you know a bit more now

[@melissaamadormateos419]

i was wondering if you could do a vid on rgp contacts. i have OD -6.25, -3.25, 178 and OS -6.50, -2.50, 14 with slight nystagmus in the dark and strabismus when fatigued or straining, and have been considering them, but there is little info on them anywhere

[@SRPASMR]

They’re not very common these days. I’d have to find some diagrams.

[@__a.l.m_media__]

Prisms are so damn good.. I've always been a bit lazy when doing mu eye exams so I never really bothered to get my headache checked out but one day when I was driving my head began pounding and I became really tired out of nowhere so I took my glasses of and drove for 10 min on the highway and the headache disappeared. I immediately contacted my optometrist regarding my headache and when realised I maybe needed a prescription with a prism and under the eye exam when he gave me some prism lenses to play with, that was the day I finally "cured" my headache and I got so emotional and I thanked him for helping me out because now I can finally go by my day without having that damn headache

[@SRPASMR]

All’s well that ends well 🤙🏽

[@Nefville]

My lasik finally cleared up and now I can see much better. Took a few months to fully recover and still my right is slightly worse than my left but that's like complaining you won $150 million in the lottery and not $151 million. Its better than I could have hoped for and the best money I ever spent.

Congratulations

[@CatsForTheCatGod]

Thus is perfect timing for getting an eye test in a few hours!

[@NB-sl1iq]

You should do something like this for presbyopia where one has blurred vision closeup (i.e. reading/computer screen) and far/near (i.e. driving/watching TV).

Very good idea but I may struggle making it a decent length of time.

I’m certainly going to have a think about a video on astigmatism.

[@Shaanujaanu]

This was extremely informative and well thought out. Thank you. I always wondered what all these meant. I would’ve liked to see a diagram for astigmatism and what it means as I supposedly have it but that’s for another time 🙏

[@SRPASMR]

Yes definitely. Glad I could shed some light on it all.

[@Akli12]

hello doctor I have a problem with my eyes when I look in the direction of my nose I noticed that the white part of my eyes retracts, I don't know why?

[@SRPASMR]

I can’t answer without reviewing. You’d have to see an optometrist properly.

[@Jennabella112]

This was fascinating! I actually went to grab my prescription so I could follow along (not conducive to falling asleep but I was too interested not to!) Question for you - what does D.S. mean in the cylinder column? I have an astigmatism in one eye, but the other eye no, it just says D.S. All in all, another excellent video!

[@SRPASMR]

Wow you actually got your prescription to understand more. I’m impressed. The fact they’ve wrote dioptre sphere in the astigmatism column is just their way of saying you haven’t been prescribed cylinder in that eye, just a sphere.

[@SRPASMR]

Alternatively, they could have left that cyl column empty or put a line through it. Writing DS there or putting a line through removes any ambiguity.
