As somebody who is struggling with declining vision, all I can say is: being blind sucks, and no framework can adequately compensate for it

As a descendant of a totally blind man, but with like 20/12 vision myself, I just have to agree. Dude eyes are the ultimate threat detector, they're essential, and there's so many people trying to take advantage of vision impairment. They need it to be perfect stereotypical blindness to give a single unit of fuck about the problem, no compensating for limitations, all or nothing. Never look from another point of view. Plus all the fake-blind beggars taking advantage of the sympathy that ought to be reserved for the legitimate blind or vision-impaired, of which there are enough as it is. Oh but you know how I help my vision when it starts declining now and then? Eat fish oil, very pure no mercury, eat it, six softgels a day and your vision will improve. Eyes are almost pure omega-3 omega-6 and omega-9 fats, in the lens and retina. Declining vision is basically due to your body rearranging its unsaturated fat reserves, with which it is endowed at birth and never gets more of. Some people their ears start to go, others their mind start to go (and that's why I was prescribed fish oil by a psychiatrist, but like one a day get real doctors need to up the dose), other people their joints or their heart. You can't just eat fish, the mercury completely undoes the effect. It's not found in nature. Only in labs. It's the fat endowment. And that's the framework for compensating for blindness: not being blind in the first place. Undoing it. Dude you can eat 15 softgels a day.

  Curious, what brand of fish oil, and after how many days did you notice an effect on your vision eating "six softgels a day"?

    Mmm...it's not that fast...like three weeks? And it is already recommended for that, my difference of opinion is in the quantity. It came down to reading an article about a man with heavy no talking no walking brain damage. He got 15 a day and recovered in six months. My favorite is UP, Ultra Pure brand, but I can't find it outside Chile. In US, Nature's Bounty, just anything with very low amounts of mercury cadmium and pcb's.

  Honestly. My eye sight started improving when I started riding my bike everyday. So. Do you have a brand of fish oil we all can look into and research?

    UP, Ultra Pure, couldn't find it in the States, they sell it in Chile, in Liga Chilena Contra la Epilepsia, that place has the best prices. It's clearly the best, comes from the clean waters of the South Pacific, it's palpably purer.

  Capsule amounts differ everywhere, so it's easier if you can share the actual milligrams. Also, there's this 2018 NIH study that says fish oil is no better than a placebo for dry eyes: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/omega-3s-fish-oil-supplements-no-better-placebo-dry-eye https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/omega-3s-fish-...

    I witness with my eyesight it's dramatically better than a placebo, challenge dechallenge rechallenge.

    I've seen capsule sizes 1200 mg, 1600 mg, I think 1800 mg. Some were small. Ignore the difference, take a lot, take the big softgels like they were small softgels. Don't take it, eat it.
