Haha! Good point. I guess I thought "eye doctor" made for easier reading, assuming not everyone knows that ophthalmologist == eye doctor.

Good luck!

Yes, I do. I had lenses with cylinders (for correcting it) in the past and didn't like them. They're larger and asymmetric - the lower side must be heavier so that they always align correctly on your eye. With not-so-bad astigmati

Yes, that's a real problem - and I think those "arbitrary values" even vary by manufacturer. The best strategy I can come up with right now is ordering a pair of contact lenses based on a "best guess", possibly by a

Interesting! For what it's worth, I also learnt that there are quite a few lens manufacturers out there and they all differ slightly regarding lens thickness and refraction properties. That may be another explanation. And, if your opti

Some good thoughts. Totally agree with all your points.

Yes, I am a doctor. As far as I remember, I studied medicine and graduated. As other comments point out, medicine is a very specialized field nowadays and I didn't specialize in any field (I got into coding healthcare software instead)

For web projects, the benefits provided by Clojure on the backend side may not be very large; there are already good languages with extensive libraries available (Django, Rails, etc.). It arguably may seem hard to choose Clojure with its mi

Depends how you define "works for": Disclosure: I am an advisor to Virta Health and I have invested in the company, because I believe their approach is the best one to solve this problem—not the other way around.
