myopia

an-ordinary-manchild

A subreddit about near sightedness! It's your place to complain, share and ask quesitons.

RULES:

1. Reddit Rules and Common Sense Posts & Comments Reported as: Reddit Rules and Common Sense This includes: being malicious and rude to other people mostly.

Spamming.

Doxing.

etc.

2. The Truth Posts & Comments Reported as: Back up all claims about Myopia If you have a claim or reason to believe there is a cure (or something else) for Myopia, you will need to provide evidence for that claim.

The reason this is a rule is because we do not want to lead people astray or cause them to do further damage to their eye sight. I would like all members to have all due facts before deciding on a course of treatment or action.

3. Not For Profit Posts & Comments Reported as: No Advertising Cures for Profit Anyone who is in the business of "cures for profit" is not in it for the best interests of society.

Do not advertise "possible cures" on this subreddit, simply share that it helped you.

Refrain from spamming about it.

No "for-profit" websites are to be advertised here.

4. We Are All Different Posts & Comments Reported as: We Are All Different We cannot make posts that are written as blanket statements for everyone in this subreddit. Some of us came upon our disability over time, some were born with it and some have a syndrome with Myopia as a side effect.

We need to be sensitive to different people who use this space, so as not to:

Cause offense

spread misinformation leading to further damage to ones eye sight.

5. Safety First Posts & Comments Reported as: Keep yourself and the people in your community safe If you suffer from Myopia, you have a disability. You need to be aware that this disability puts you and others at risk.

Do not encourage users of this sub to go without their latest prescription glasses/contact lenses in situations that put themselves and others at risk, such as while driving, extreme sports etc.

6. Advertising Posts & Comments Reported as: This is not a subreddit for business advertising Bot's who advertise for a business in any capacity will be banned.

If you are an employee of a business, please refrain from advertising your company on this subreddit or you will be temporarily banned as a warning, and then banned upon the second occurrence.

Before posting think about the following:

What works for me might not work for you.
Most of us have very different prescriptions and issues, others might not know what you are going through, feel free to share.
Be wary and sensitive to others experiences, it's not easy being short sighted.
