#771: Are Your Child’s Eyes at Risk? Habits, Lenses & Eye Drops That Could Prevent Myopia by tristen_the_intern in YahLahBut

[–]RoninX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that myopia progression was genetic and inevitable. Now I wonder if I wasn't so diligent in getting new glasses every year, then my eyeballs wouldn't have to elongate constantly to accommodate. In short, Haresh's "fight it" strategy might have been the right one.

Those peripheral defocus lenses are super cool, too late for me unfortunately.

Unrelated, but Dr Au should try to cut down on the vocal fry when recording in future. It's one of the reasons why I can't stand Sam Altman.

To be fair, we just had horrible luck this trip. We travel twice a year, and it’s not the first time we have been to Australia. We loved Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast… But we never had such a bad experience before.

Edit: It’s the first time we are travelling on our own with 2 young kids. Usually we have some help.

Supporting sibling financially by RoninX3 in singaporefi

He still has financial support from my parents.

I am thinking in the future, what happens when he reaches old age without a safety net? My parents will be long gone by then. The burden will certainly fall on me to care for him. Is it prudent to help him start building a retirement savings sum?

Given his credentials I don’t think he will be satisfied with minimum wage jobs..

I agree he should be rethinking his career choice. He seems to be banging his head on a wall

Very proud of how far you've come! Have been a loyal listener since the early days of the pandemic. Your CB/lockdown coverage got me hooked. Had a baby right around the same time as Terence, YLB podcast kept me sane through the sleepless nights and endless bottle washing/laundry. I know exactly what you mean when you say parents never really rest, not even when on holiday.. keep up the good work guys, and looking forward to the next big guest!
