George Mayerle's "international eye chart"
(positive) ca. 1907.
One of many immigrants to live in early 20th-century San Francisco, Mayerle — an optician originally from Germany — invented this chart which allowed anyone to do an eye test regardless of what language they spoke.
important public health note about pepper spray treatment from opthalmologist dr. glaucomflecken
Don't rub your eyes.
Irrigate with water with baby shampoo mixed in. The baby shampoo is gentle on eyes and helps break up the oil in the pepper spray. Using regular dish soap may also work, but it is harsher on your eyes.
You can also just irrigate with plain water.
Don't use a dairy product to irrigate your eyes. Using a dairy product like milk is less effective, and could introduce bacteria from the dairy product into scratches on your cornea resulting from the pepper spray.
If you have contacts, maybe don't wear contacts to the protest. Wear goggles if you can.
If you are wearing contacts when you get pepper sprayed (which as Dr. Glaucomflecken* notes it could happen anywhere, even in your own home because FUCK ICE), don't try to take your contacts out immediately because you might just further irritate your eyes with the rubbing. Wait until you can comfortably open your eyes to take them out.
Fuck I.C.E.! ¡Chinga la Migra!

Opthalmology is the WORST subject in medicine. Y'all can fight me on this idc😤😤😤 I don't want to study 😭😭😭🥀🥀
Does it read as mentally unwell for me to be talking to myself about the logistics of a man stabbing himself through the eye in the middle of a forest in victorian france? For visualization purposes, of course.
That poor doctor

Rare disease day, aka hey Em what the fuck is wrong with your eyes?
Fun fact, my family was actually one of the landmark gene studies for this disease!
My dad had a detachment in both eyes. So far, I have a thin retina but nothing that has required intervention. My opthalmalogist visits suck though. They have to dilate my eyes every year. I can't get any eye surgery for my trash vision though 🙁 it's too risky.
Maybe if people are interested I'll do a post on nystagmus. It's a really interesting disorder but oh boy does it fuck my vision.
Any opthalmologists in the house?
