🏛️ Myth: Ancient people didn’t have any form of vision correction.

🔍 Myth: Contacts can get lost behind your eye.
❌ Busted! Nope! The inner surface of your eyelid connects to your eye in a way that physically prevents a contact lens from slipping behind it. It might shift around, but it can't vanish. 🙅‍♀️🧿

😅 Ever had a contact feel “lost” before?

🎖️🔬 Trivia Tuesday: Military Research Helped Blind Veterans See Again! 🔬🎖️
After WWII, U.S. military doctors pioneered retinal implant research to restore vision to blinded soldiers. Their efforts laid the foundation for today’s bionic eye technologies that help restore partial sight to those with severe retinal diseases.

Talk about turning battlefield tragedy into life-changing medical breakthroughs! 🙌
Would you try a vision implant if it could restore sight? 👁️💬👇

🧠🩻 Trivia Tuesday: Eye Scans That Detect Parkinson’s?! 🩻🧠
Researchers at University College London have discovered that a retinal scan may help detect early signs of Parkinson’s disease, even 7 years before symptoms appear! 👁️🧬

The retina—an extension of the brain—can show subtle changes in layers affected by neurodegeneration. This tech could lead to faster, noninvasive diagnosis in the near future, using tools already common in eye clinics.

Would you take a simple eye scan to check your brain health? 💭 Tell us below! 👇

🧪 Myth: Eye drops can permanently improve your vision.
❌ Busted! While certain eye drops can temporarily sharpen near vision (like Vuity™) or treat conditions like glaucoma, no drop currently offers a permanent fix for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. 👓💧

💬 Have you tried prescription drops for vision? Share your experience!
