    My husband has Type 2 diabetes and has had two eye surgeries because of bleeding retinas. This technology has literally saved his eyesight.

    If it can't cut anything it doesnt meet the definition of being sharp. Sharp (of an object) having an edge or point that is able to cut or pierce something. So yeah great fail before you started.

    Hey! I think my Eye Dr used this "new machine" to give me an earlier diagnosis too!!! I still don't fully remember and understand everything said between my eye dr, "pre-diabetes" Dr, PCP, vascular Dr & liver dr but they seem very interested in talking to each other about this kind of stuff. I just tell them all "if you're happy then I'm happy" and try what they recommend. It's been working. Lots of my numbers on the app that show my test results have been trending toward the green over the last few years and I definitely don't feel any worse. I think I'm feeling better so go science!

    My Optometrist has had one of those for at least over a decade now, I found out I have a freckle in my eye and when my father's vision first started failing he found out he has a freckle in the same eye and space. But also I never really thought how amazing these machines were till now, it's neat learning how much more they can help with the rest of body health and not just eye health, to me they've been a regular part of my check up every 2 years. Also, what was those eye drops and weird glasses combo mention at the start? 0:55 I've had Glasses my entire life and have never seen nor had such a thing? Is this some American thing that was just cheaper to do? Genuine Curiosity on that.

    "THERMOCEPTION"? Really? NO. Make your minds up: Greek OR Latin, not another bastard smelly hybrid like television (which is now obsolete, thank God!) So which is it to be? I suggest we obviate Greek (THERMESTHESIS) but all the kiddies are still taught Latin, right? So then start calling it CALIDOCEPTION. (A bit clunky for you? Well you seem happy with the ungainly EQUILIBRIOCEPTION when a sensible person would have done the natural thing and reduce it to EQUILIBRIUM even though the word has a separate application. So you have no foot to stand on here.)

    Why are you not saying Ophthalmologist? Isn’t that the eye Doctor to see?

  • @lyndagabriel6539
    @lyndagabriel653923 минут бұрын

    This is excellent! This is why I see an ophthalmologist regularly, not just an optometrist - at least in Canada, it is the largely the doctors who have retinal scan access/expertise. I do have very early stages of eye diseases, and comparative photos are great. Having an eye doc experienced in interpreting images means she is picking up on subtle things that I certainly can't make out from background noise... It also provides incentive to follow good eye nutrition, etc. And you've given me excellent additional info on other things I can ask about when we look at my scans... both diabetes and strokes are a personal concern too!

    I Hypothesize that hair under our arms and between our buttocks, is to reduce friction. This is also what the pubic hair patch is for during sex. To reduce friction against each other in missionary position. Without it our skin sticks together and gets rashy, red & sore from friction & sweat (which can grow fungal infections).. Hair kind of allows sliding between skin in high friction areas. Even stopping our own genital and skin down there from sticking together, and to move more freely. That's my take on why we have hair down there, or even why we didn't lose it from those high friction, sweaty, hot areas between skin. It makes the most sense, and it works. You will know if you have shaved armpits, that your skin sticks together. Or had missionary sex with a person with a waxed or stubbly pubic bone hair patch. That hair is there to reduce friction between hot, sticky skin. Friction patches where are surfaces of skin can rub, seem to have hair. Think about it. Cheers.

    I wish more people were capable of understanding nuance. Everything you just said is coherently constructed, but media outlets, just like the way you constructed and addressed the title of this video, are incentivized to make as strong a claim as possible to fear monger and sell clicks to advertisers. I don't know the best way to approach this topic, but I think the best thing we can do is promote better scientific literacy. I don't even trust myself to read a scientific publication and assess whether it's good or not. I'm not qualified to read most of this stuff (or at least I feel like I'm not). I don't know or understand how the peer review process actually works. I feel like so many just say that a study exists in x publication and "x is a good/bad journal" (at the risk of associating this with formerly Twitter) without actually going into depth on why. I have so many problems with the world's access to scientific literature and doubts about what I've read even though it might be legit... So while I doubt media's ability to cover these things responsibly, with tact, I feel pathetically unequipped to figure it out without it. I personally feel like maybe you guys should do some sort of playlist or secondary show that gets at the heart of how to read science and addresses things like "what's a good sample size?" "what does the peer review process look like" "what makes a journal trustworthy and why" "when should I be worried about who's funding a study" "should I ever really trust a study or should I wait/look for a meta-analysis". Maybe you already have videos to that effect and I haven't seen them. I have friends and family that get messed up by even basic credibility issues and I don't feel like I have a much better handle on gathering knowledge this way myself. I just feel like we've already lost because of how bad general scientific literacy is. (we could easily talk about how the capitalist profit motive has ruined all this too, but I think fighting against the basics here would at least be a good start)
