I found out when I was 11 or so. Thankfully, I don't have hearing loss.

They're blind not animals

The overwhelming majority of people blind from retinal disease were previously sighted. Macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy are the two leading causes of irreversible blindness in the developed world.

One of my great-aunts went blind due to her untreated diabetes.

Would have loved to see her live to have some hope of seeing again.

Genuine question, might be a bit dumb/ ELI5 but does that mean when the layer heals winters and summers are going to get colder? Or is the impact on the average country/city not going to be noticeable

My mother hates sports and she was glued to the TV.

Don’t get any idea Roger Goddell.

Who the fuck cares we fixed it long ago but the current problem we just keep ignoring it! Previous accomplishments are worth jack shit if we fuck up the planet in another way

My mom has RP. She is 76 and completely blind. She found out in 1972 when she was 25 that she had it. She was born with a hearing loss, so together its Ushers Syndrome.

I wonder if It could treat basement membrane syndrome. Or at least the pain part!

It's always fun to come into this sub, and see the pinned post specifically telling people to take the negativity elsewhere, and then scroll down furthur and see the negative comments just... sitting there.

At least the headline is nice. Tech continues to advance, evidence continues to become impossible to ignore, eventually humanity WILL get a handle on climate change. I firmly believe it.

I have something where the eyeball isn't connected correctly to the brain on one eye. I'd be legally blind and unable to read and drive if anything happened to the good one. I wish they had something to fix this..
