Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous day, this
might bring tears of joy to your face, or maybe
just an extra eye drop leaking out. Doctors reportedly developed
the special eye drop for people with alongsidedness. Could replace
the need for reading glasses or surgery. You wouldn't have
constantly lubricating your eyes or even dropping a solution in

(00:22):
just before you read. It's as simple as using it
twice a day. The idea it could be more convenient
than carrying around reading glasses and a lot less invasive
than surgery. Or if you care, here's a science. The
drops contain polocropene. It's a drug that constricts the pupils,
contracts the muscles, controls the shapes of your eyes and
lens able to focus on objects in different distances, and

(00:44):
a diloque finec is also a non steroidal and inflammatory
drug that reduces inflammation. It's unclear when it widely may
become available. Isn't the first time scientists have use eye
drops to address eyesight. Researchers in twenty twenty three at
Ohio State worked on a special eye drop that could
prevent or delay near sightedness so kids might not have

(01:06):
to get corrective lenses so early, and in twenty twenty one,
Voutie eye drops hit the market. The drops claim that
they could replace eyeglasses for people who have trouble seeing
up close. Medicine takes about fifteen minutes of work, but
the effect of sharper vision can supposedly last for up
to ten hours. Let's hope this is the case, because
I am starting to get close to where I may

(01:27):
need reading glasses sometimes if it's like a you know,
point six font maybe right now, pretty soon deeper in
the two. But you know, there's a lot of different
things now that weren't here twenty or thirty years ago.
For example, used to have to wear pants while picking
out a movie to watch, well, at least in most jurisdictions.
Bloombergs and gen xers are talking about modern stressors that

(01:48):
did not exist back in the day. Some of the
best ones include cyber criminals. Yeah, a lot more bad
ways for people to gain access to personal information than
there used to be. All of social media also made
the list, creating chaos being shoved in front of your face,
people not having a camera in their pocket all the time.
Public filming can be invasive, not everybody wants to be

(02:09):
constantly photographed, even with friends. Other modern stressors that didn't
exist back in the day, whether the news you're hearing
is real or not, deep fakes, shaving everything, botox and
lip filler, texting, having to return text and all the
anxiety that goes with it, clearing your inbox of emails,
but to clear mind daily because I have about one

(02:30):
hundred and sixty emails I get every single day, and
people using the word literally all the time for no reason.
I literally find that stressful. Tu it again for another
