Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

What is the difference between cataract and myopia? Is it only me not seeing difference?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Cataract appears to have a colour tone change and is uniformly blurry. Myopia is not focused on things in the foreground and there's no red tinting.


Is it possible you have a slight colour vision deficiency? There's quite a high percentage of the population that do.

Hopefully not but yes scheduling an eye exam.

It looks like with a cataract, the entire image is significantly blurred, whereas with myopia, the blur gets worse the farther away the element of the image is from you.

Which would make sense, given that the derived definition of myopic is basically being focused on or concerned with only things that directly affect you and not the more grand scheme of things.

Thanks, Maybe I see football and blue/white shirt bit more in focus (only because you mentioned it, I stared long enough lol)

Im on mobile and i had to zoom the image in a bit to look at it.

Its not so obvious at a casual glance.

alternatively:

Maybe you should get your eyes checked =P

Yup on mobile as well and yup saw those differences after zooming in / staring. Always a good idea to be on top of medical checkup though, I'll get eye exam just in case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hah, I mean, I meant that last part as a joke, but if you've not had an eye exam ever, or in 5 or 10 years, I guess its not a bad idea.

Had it year and half back, they advised us every 2 years

The cataract also seems to change the colours rather than just blur it out. It has more of a red'ish hue?

Edit: well not really red. A bit darker?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

When it comes to colors I should remember to crank up brightness and turn off night mode (blue filter). Thanks for pointing color difference.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

To me it seems brownish, like a mild sepia tone effect.
