Went to the eye doctor today and everything is fine. I mentioned that I used to put atropine drops in my eyes every day from 2nd or 3rd grade until 11th grade to slow the progression of nearsightedness. He was blown away because that has only become something docs do in the last five years or so. (I was in a research study.)

I had always assumed the study was a failure since I never saw another doc who had heard of such a thing. And now it's a practice.

That’s wild

I was an early adopter of floride pills for my teeth. Preventive dentistry wasn’t a really big thing until more recent. Never had a cavity

That’s great information.
