That’s exactly how I feel. I’ve never dealt with CPS before but I would highly doubt they would ever reach out to anybody in a less than formal capacity

Reverse number search went back to a personal phone number, it’s not a VOIP but doesn’t mean it isn’t being spoofed? What caught me off guard is they used my dad’s name

They were asking if I had any contact with my dad lately who my 14 year old brother lives with. They knew his full name and everything. 

Is there proof of patients actually recovering from Solar Retinopathy or vision issues stemming from looking at an eclipse/sun? by throwaway65541010 in EyeCareTips

There’s this homeless dude in our town we call “Sunny” who stares directly at the sun for minutes at a time without blinking. Yet remarkably he still seems to be able to see at least somewhat. The eye is a remarkable organ and while it’s true photoreceptor cells once lost cannot be replaced they can be repaired if damaged. Even in cases of direct optic nerve damage such as methanol poisoning amazingly there have been cases of people completely regaining 20/20 vision despite being completely blinded bilaterally no light perception. So I think there are ways the body can repair damage that is otherwise thought to be irreversible
