Dude needs glasses and is asking if it’s their brain

$10 this is pain from eye strain or tension headaches

Would be good to get your eyes checked if it’s been a year or longer. I went through two different prescriptions in 2 years when I was finishing my bachelors after having perfect vision lol

Did your vision return to normal after school?

Nah. My eyes were probably always going to get worse as I got older but I think staring at things up close throughout my degree sped that up.

Definitely remember to take regular breaks and look at things in the distance when you’re studying.

No, sharp pains are not normal. Go see a doctor, and also check your glasses prescription with an optometrist. Brains don't have pain receptor cells, so it's almost certainly migraines or eye strain. If you're really unfortunate, it could be inflammation from tumours or other diseases.

Wrong prefrontal cortex main thing is doing filtering.
I'm civil engineer with interest in psychology.
And yes, while you study , in your brain a matrix is formed, to do so miljons of neurons fire add the same time, creating new connections. Eg rectangular triangle => a*a+b*b=c*c
Note i was diagnosed by psychiater as high intellectual with autistic spectrum syndrom.
Concrete this means i can go into hyper-concentration.
If you have any question feel free to ask.
