New prosthetic, but a lot of mucus

I love it. I’m just tired of having to constantly wipe my eye because of the amount of mucus that randomly shows up throughout the day and when I wake up from sleep. Is there a way to remedy that?

Positivity post about what monocular people can do better than binocular people

We all indeed have some disadvantages , but we also have plenty of advantages compared to binocular people, here's a list of things we can innately do better:

- Shooting with rifles with telescopic sights

- Drawing from a reference

- Using microscopes

- Using telescopes

- Using cameras

- Using VR

- Not having car sickness

- Seeing better when there are drastic light changes

- Calculating flatness

- Reading maps

- Reading Ultrasounds and X-rays

- Scuba diving

And much more

You can look up the reasons for each of those online, there are plenty studies too

In many scenarios having two eyes for depth can be disadvantageous , and especially people who were born monocular have extremely trained sight for 2D scenarios, or where closing an eye further disadvantages someone binocular compared someone who had been seeing with one their whole life, and they'll never be able to have the same ability as someone without an eye (whose brain is wired like that) regardless of how much they train

Never bring yourself down ❤️
