I feel like some of these potential "marks" could very well have medical knowledge but be at such a desperate point that they're willing to try things they otherwise would roll their eyes at. Mental and physical health problems or, rather, seeking relief from those problems can lead some educated people making poor decisions purely out of desperation and hope. I only mention this because I think we all sort of assume that the folks falling for scams of any kind are lacking some common sense or education, but the pool of victims can be a lot wider. Typically, people who have been scammed will feel shame and embarrassment, add the social stigma and there's a good chance a lot will go unreported [in this subsect of people that could be vulnerable to these kinds of scams.]
@@kittygoesWOOF you’re very right, thank you for that addition. I definitely don’t think people who fall for scams are stupid in any way. I moreso meant that this guy is taking advantage of a power dynamic because he is a “doctor”, so even people with some medical knowledge will trust that he knows what he’s talking about. We all have something that makes us vulnerable. Chronic illness is definitely a thing I have to deal with, and it angers me more than anything else that people who are worse off than me and desperate enough to try anything are taken advantage of. It happened with my husband’s brother in law when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. My sister in law, his wife, fell for a bunch of scams promising one thing or another because they had 3 children together and were very much in love. She would have done anything at that point. Personally, I’ve fallen for a personal info phishing scam because I work in direct support and it involved one of my clients facebooks being taken over, I thought someone we knew at the organization was hurt and didn’t realize it was a fake Facebook sign in screen. I panicked because it was people I cared about. Anybody can fall prey if it’s something you care enough about. It’s absolutely insane how little empathy scammers have.
@@TamanduaGirl That's what I was thinking. If I had to look through the edges of my lenses I would get a headache, too! I have absolutely terrible eyesight, though
As someone who had chronic UTIs and bladder infections through my life, I can tell you, cranberry supplements absolutely do not reduce infections to zero. That's nonsense 😂
As also fellow human with chronic bladder infections n kidney stones cranberry supplements help lots yeah but I WISH they would reduce infections to zero lol. This n vitamin c helps but still lmao
Ugh I get them too; I had them even as a kid. I found this brand uqora that actually works for me 9 times out of 10. The minute I get a faint symptom I take it and it usually saves me from a round of antibiotics. I wish I could just eat cranberries and be better😂
I used to get UTIs a fair amount growing up/as a kid, and then 2-3 different times as an adult - one being an asymptomatic UTI that led to a kidney infection that led to sepsis. Cranberry juice and/or cranberry supplements are good to aid your body if you are prone to it (preventative), but it is only one variable in a sea of varying circumstances. Seeing that one severely pissed me off (pun or joke not intended).
There's this quote from Gordon Ramsay where he's responding to someone who tells him the time to microwave a specific dish to the odd second (like 87 or something) and he says, "Fuck me, that's precise." And every time someone gives me a specific number that is obviously made up I hear him saying that.
I’m a survivor of brain cancer, (had my surgery last Halloween, they want to write a study on me!) and I can say simply, that cancer is not just a thing that can be prevented out right. It just happens. Sure doing things like smoking or having a a bad lifestyle overall can increase your odds or just chance but you can’t outright PREVENT IT..
Hey Evil Pinely, actual (sadly) British person here. The shop used in the first series of screenshots is actually Superdrug (which is more beauty cosmetic than pharmaceutical). They still don't sell them there though
I've been wearing glasses for decades and yeah, sometimes there's an adjustment period with headaches and dizziness and stuff. But it shouldn't last more than a couple of days.
@@dinarocksyou It also depends on how drastic of a change the prescription is. Since it’s his first pair, I would assume that period might last a bit longer. I had a two year gap between my prescriptions once and it took me a hot minute to properly adjust to the new prescription. Then again everyone’s different, so eh. As long as bro is ok and got it sorted is what matters
Somehow ginger ale helps my stomach more than ginger, and ginger ale doesn't even have ginger in it so I definitely think it's the carbonation most of the time
The funny thing about all of these “the NHS don’t want you to know” is that the NHS is free to patients and costs the government a lot. So surely if a vitamin or supplement that people could buy was more effective than prescription meds then they would tell people to do that because the NHS sure as shit doesn’t want to be giving unnecessary medication when theres 0 profit to be made.
Labmuffin Beauty Science is a cosmetic chemist with a PhD who debunks this kind of fearmongering. She just uploaded a short parodying these kinds of videos. It can be so hard to understand what the research really says, especially when doom & gloom gets more engagement.
I'm studying in a different education system so results may vary, but we learned nootropic drugs *can* help but ONLY if there's an actual deficit (i.e. they can't just suddenly make you smarter or improve your memory) AND it only works when certain drugs are used in case of certain conditions so like, someone is recovering from stroke or has other conditions that lower the flow of blood to parts of their brain? - some nootropic drugs increase blood flow to the brain and *may* help so it definitely depends on the cause of the brain fog
also I can't see what even *is* in that photo so idk if it's an actual nootropic everything else is either a huge massive enormous stretch or complete bullshit lol
As someone who’s had glasses since 5th grade, it’s pretty normal for your eyes to hurt and for headaches to occur during the first week or so. (A week is pushing it, but I’d say that’s to be expected with a first pair.) It takes a bit for your eyes to properly adjust to a new prescription. And since it’s your first pair, it’s gonna be uncomfortable in the beginning. Try to wear them throughout the day as much as you can, but definitely take breaks and take them off for a bit every now and then. Don’t give yourself a migraine, you’ll adjust to them eventually. But anything longer than that, I’d recommend seeing an optician
TikTok nurse: the NHS forbade me from telling patients about Vaseline! My GP: so I know you can't buy melatonin over the counter here and you don't fit the criteria for prescribing, but here's how to get it online. I was going to bring you some of mine but my wife said no.
It's normal to have your eyes hurt due to your vision adjusting to the glasses. If your vision has been bad for a while the correction might be sudden and too much at first
I’m a glasses technician as my work, depending on the type of lenses you got and how strong the prescription is then it can take you a bit to get used to especially since you said it’s your first. If it’s VF as well the fact they are pretty small won’t help you get used to them. Deeper frames are better so the fact you are getting a larger pair is better. If after a few days you are still seeing worse than not wearing them and your eyes are still sore, go back to where you got them. Double check they are definitely the prescription you have and if they are then re do the test. Most people when they get new glasses for the first time take a few days to get used to it :)
NHS doesn't make you sign anything like an NDA. She lying. If they did, it would be common knowledge in the UK. Never in my life have I ever heard of a whisper of it
as someone who is medically spicy and has been desperate to buy into this shit- it really upsets me. these people are taking advantage of those of us who have no hope, and are profiting off of our desperation
UK here, hellllllo! If you're a health worker in the NHS you are bound by strict protocols and procedures. Anyone stepping outside should be carefully checked!
I used to think that too with every new glasses but then I found a doctor that was actually good at choosing glasses for me. They felt great from the very beginning!
@@donotsearchforme3977 Well, I was fuck for like 20 years XD some of those glasses felt really awful, kinda like I was underwater??? Putting new glasses on and immidiately felling good in them was shocking to me, lol.
Was freaking out for a sec that I had played too much new Vegas that i was starting to hear the song in my head randomly but when I realized it was the video itself I felt some relief.
Optician here! Totally normal since they are the wrong size. I have some super tiny round frames that do the same thing. If it doesn’t get better with the new ones, have the glasses and prescription rechecked 👍🏻
I know several people who have worked for the NHS as doctors and nurses. None of them had a contract that prevented them shilling pseudoscience. However, the Nursing and Midwifery Council or whichever professional body licenses them could launch an investigation if a member does unethical things.
If your eyes are sore especially when you initially put them on at the beginning of the day rather at the end of the day, then you probably have to readjust your prescription just a bit. It's happened to me twice but all the other times I got glasses they were perfectly fine.
Pinely, I work as an optical dispenser and the first thing we tell people when they collect their glasses is there is an adaption period! Your eyes are working hard to adapt to your new prescription, so headaches are very common. Because the glasses are a lot smaller than you expected, that can also affect the focal point of the lenses, so hopefully your next pair has the correct PD measurements. If they feel wonky or uncomfortable to wear (on the arms or behind your ears) then take them to an optometrist and get them to adjust them so they fit correctly. Hope that helps!! Peace and love 🫶
Lmao the head & shoulders “hair discolouration” is actually kinda true in a way. Head & shoulders washes your hair so well, it kinda removes the hair dye from your hair way quicker than other shampoos. So your hair might end up being “discoloured” if it was dyed previously
Don't worry about the glasses. I also just started wearing mine, never did it before - and all that shit passes in less than a week (but it got me worried at first, so I did consult a professional). Your eyes just need to refocus. I also broke mine already and glued them together in a messy manner. Now, I definitely look like a dweeb.
Not a doctor or med professional but a fellow bad sight-haver and glasses wearer. Every time I get a new pair of glasses my eyes hurt and I get a headache sometimes, it only lasts for a day or two though. I think it’s your eyes adjusting to finally being able to see properly. If you’re still having headaches after a few day I would call the optometrist.

@@kezia8027Yeah I don't know why I still follow him since I stopped watching his videos a year or two ago. Atleast I found a few doctors from him that actually go more in-depth about certain areas of medicine I'm interested in
thats normal, getting used to a new glasses script is rough. ive had glasses since i was about 8 or so, and im 25 now and need an updated script every year and going thru the process of adjusting is a pain in the ass and makes me feel like i answered wrong on every question the optometrist asked me during the vision test. and then youre normal after about 2 weeks. ur good man

As someone who wears glasses there can be an adjustment period. Mine usually last like a day or two before i get used to the new perscription/curve of the lens. Shouldnt hurt or anything though should just be a little disorienting, i have had headaches from new glasses though but again nothing serious just my eyes feeling a little strained from the new lens
Bro they sent you the whole wrong prescription not just the “wrong size”. Putting on your glasses for the first time should be like the Logan Paul color blind glasses video but unironically
I think it can vary. I've been wearing glasses nearly 40 years now, from at least 10 different opticians across 4 different companies and I've never had a new pair be pleasant during the first few days 😅
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the known medical professionals on TikTok who are getting their “reactions” cropped and pasted at the bottom of a product so it looks like they’re promoting it
Hey Pinely I've been a professional glasses wearer for quite a few years. My eyes also hurt when I last changed my prescription because I have astigmatism and my optometrist increased the angle on the cylinder lens. I had a headache, and was quite dizzy until I got used to it. Took a bit over a week but I'm good now, so it's likely you're also fine!
Wearing a new glasses with a different number than your previous one or wearing glasses for the first time causes those symptoms. Your eyes are adjusted to work harder so your vision is used to working with that. As someone that has gone through many glasses I always feel this way at first.
Don’t worry about the glasses! I’ve had to wear them all my life and a new prescription always takes some time to adjust to. Headaches during the first week or so are normal!
Nootropics are an umbrella term for “smart drugs” which can be anything from supplements to prescription meds. The evidence varies (even for the prescription stuff) but essentially food and sleep is always going to be the most effective
Person who worked in an optical laboratory for a few years and still has a lot of contact with optomologists and optometrists. Glasses that are the wrong size will NOT work correctly as the intetpupillary distance (IPD) will be dramatically off. So I wouldn't expect these glasses to be representative of much. However, progressive lenses do take time to get used to and peoples eye muscles are often so worn out and unused to being able to work properly that there is a 2 week to two month adjustment period in my experience. It is why we often had to tell people "wear your glasses when you should no matter what, the less frequently you wear them when you should be the harder it will be to adapt" Goodluck.
For your eye pain. I remember i had a pair that particularly hurt with the combination of too small frames, first pair to adjust my astigmatism, and possibly entering in the wrong pupil distance. If its the astigmatism, once your eyes have a week or 2 to adjust it wont hurt anymore.
As a fellow glass wearer, i think it's your eyes trying to adjust to the glasses. Happened to me too. The box in which my glasses came has "give your glasses 10 days to adjust".
As a glasses wearer, I refused to wear my glasses as a child. I always kept them in my backpack cuz I never put them on when I woke up, only when I noticed I couldn't see the board from my seat. Unsurprisingly, my sight got worse.
Im not a medical professional, but i have worn glasses my whole life. Yes, fresh lenses hurt and cause headaches for a week or two until your eyes get used to the assistance ❤
I just got my first pair of glasses a few months ago and yes, it’s totally normal to have a fucking headache and to almost puke because it hurts your eyes so much it makes you dizzy LMAO. It goes away after a week or two and your eyes will adjust
It’s actually normal to go thru headaches and feeling like you don’t see as well at first with glades because you become used to subpar vision and the sudden clearness can give you headaches while you adjust and you have to get used to seeing more clearly.
Honestly I think that’s a normal part of getting new glasses with a different prescription. I got horrible headaches when I first got glasses, but they stopped soon enough and i objectively see better with them.
As a person who wears glasses since i was like 6 years old and has to change them from time to time for different reasons, i can tell you that three first days are pretty normally uncomfortable! Headaches are nothing to worry about, your eyes are just confused. When i change to new glasses, i always feel like the world is uncomprehensibly four dimensional. And taking glasses off after a day of wearing... ooh, takes me a month to get used to new switch in world's reaolution. That's fine, you should get used to it all, but if headache lasts for more than a week, you should see your doc! Especially if they gave you 100% sight correction, that's sometimes so unncesessary and causes troubles
Sounds like my first pair of glasses. They were the complete wrong prescription and I got a different eye test done somewhere else. My current glasses don't hurt at all,
it's pretty normal for your eyes to take time to adjust after getting new glasses, according to my optometrist. I got awful headaches at first and was just told to take some pain meds and push through it lol
Hey Pinely, Dont worry abiut your glasses making you see worse unless it persists with the new glasses. If they came too small the PD is probably incorrect which means the light isnt refracting in the correct place to compensate for the deformity of your eye. Once you have your new glasses, the light will refract correctly and itll be smooth sailing ♡
0:15 welcome to the joys of glasses! I've had glasses for about 10 years and my eyes/head always hurt at the end of the day from eye strain. My prescription is perfect I think my eyes are just stupid.
I'm not a medical expert but that first-time glasses pain sounds familiar. As you adjust to the clarity and the different ways your muscles work with the glasses, you'll settle into it (I think)
A bit late but as a glasses wearer, what you're experiencing is normal, especially if it's your first time wearing them at all. Let me explain how my eye doctor explained it to me: You have to see out of your eyes. So when your eyes are having problems, your brain subconsciously tells your eyes to strain to work around the issue. If you exert a lot of energy into seeing without even knowing it, once you have glasses that allow you to see properly without straining, your brain becomes confused, which causes a headache, because you're subconsciously trying to strain your eyes to focus the same way you did without glasses. If the situation doesn't resolve after about a week, I would mention it to the professional that wrote the prescription for your glasses or the folks making the glasses for you to make sure they were made properly. Personally, I'm farsighted with a nearsighted astigmatism. It causes MAJOR issues with my vision that until I got glasses, I never realized how hard I was straining to see things properly. The straw that broke my back was intense light sensitivity and a halo effect on basically anything producing light and making things like driving difficult. When I got my glasses, I had the exact same issue you had: they gave me headaches and it felt like the glasses weren't helping. I called the doctor and asked if it was normal. And he said the above to me. Once he told me that I started an exercise to help my eyes adjust. Every day, for about five minutes, I would put on my glasses and fully unfocus my eyes. Make everything fuzzy on purpose. Then id slowly refocus my eyes until I could see through my glasses. That's when I started noticing how different seeing with the glasses and without really looked.
Honestly it might be best reporting this sort of thing to the various medical councils of the professionals being impersonated (GPMC, BPC, NMC) because it brings disrepute on the profession.

Typically, people who have been scammed will feel shame and embarrassment, add the social stigma and there's a good chance a lot will go unreported [in this subsect of people that could be vulnerable to these kinds of scams.]
@@kittygoesWOOF you’re very right, thank you for that addition. I definitely don’t think people who fall for scams are stupid in any way. I moreso meant that this guy is taking advantage of a power dynamic because he is a “doctor”, so even people with some medical knowledge will trust that he knows what he’s talking about. We all have something that makes us vulnerable. Chronic illness is definitely a thing I have to deal with, and it angers me more than anything else that people who are worse off than me and desperate enough to try anything are taken advantage of. It happened with my husband’s brother in law when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. My sister in law, his wife, fell for a bunch of scams promising one thing or another because they had 3 children together and were very much in love. She would have done anything at that point.
Personally, I’ve fallen for a personal info phishing scam because I work in direct support and it involved one of my clients facebooks being taken over, I thought someone we knew at the organization was hurt and didn’t realize it was a fake Facebook sign in screen. I panicked because it was people I cared about.
Anybody can fall prey if it’s something you care enough about. It’s absolutely insane how little empathy scammers have.
This is the worst kind of scammer in my opinion…. People that pray on the vulnerability of desperate/ sick people with no medical knowledge:

As someone who had chronic UTIs and bladder infections through my life, I can tell you, cranberry supplements absolutely do not reduce infections to zero. That's nonsense 😂
As also fellow human with chronic bladder infections n kidney stones cranberry supplements help lots yeah but I WISH they would reduce infections to zero lol. This n vitamin c helps but still lmao
You need to consume only cranberries
I sympathize with you dude I had a crazy infection for a year and drank so much cranberry juice lol
Ugh I get them too; I had them even as a kid. I found this brand uqora that actually works for me 9 times out of 10. The minute I get a faint symptom I take it and it usually saves me from a round of antibiotics.
I wish I could just eat cranberries and be better😂
I used to get UTIs a fair amount growing up/as a kid, and then 2-3 different times as an adult - one being an asymptomatic UTI that led to a kidney infection that led to sepsis.
Cranberry juice and/or cranberry supplements are good to aid your body if you are prone to it (preventative), but it is only one variable in a sea of varying circumstances. Seeing that one severely pissed me off (pun or joke not intended).
There's this quote from Gordon Ramsay where he's responding to someone who tells him the time to microwave a specific dish to the odd second (like 87 or something) and he says, "Fuck me, that's precise." And every time someone gives me a specific number that is obviously made up I hear him saying that.
I’m a survivor of brain cancer, (had my surgery last Halloween, they want to write a study on me!) and I can say simply, that cancer is not just a thing that can be prevented out right.
It just happens. Sure doing things like smoking or having a a bad lifestyle overall can increase your odds or just chance but you can’t outright PREVENT IT..
Hey Evil Pinely, actual (sadly) British person here. The shop used in the first series of screenshots is actually Superdrug (which is more beauty cosmetic than pharmaceutical). They still don't sell them there though
As someone who wears glasses, it shouldn't hurt, by the sounds of it you did it online, I'd recommend going to an opticians and getting a proper test.
Don't worry, in another comment he said he got new glasses and his eyes feel fine now🫶
Did they send him someone else’s? Lol
I've been wearing glasses for decades and yeah, sometimes there's an adjustment period with headaches and dizziness and stuff. But it shouldn't last more than a couple of days.
@@dinarocksyou It also depends on how drastic of a change the prescription is. Since it’s his first pair, I would assume that period might last a bit longer. I had a two year gap between my prescriptions once and it took me a hot minute to properly adjust to the new prescription. Then again everyone’s different, so eh. As long as bro is ok and got it sorted is what matters

in my experience, the most ginger does is reduce nausea by like 30-50%. if you have kids, have ginger ale
Mint candy also helps with nausea btw!
Somehow ginger ale helps my stomach more than ginger, and ginger ale doesn't even have ginger in it so I definitely think it's the carbonation most of the time
Ginger beer is a better soda most ales have not much Ginger
@@vvvvvv66666 objection: ginger beer tastes yucky :(
ginger ale doesnt have enough actual ginger in it to actually do anything. if you want any effect besides placebo i'd go with ginger tea
The funny thing about all of these “the NHS don’t want you to know” is that the NHS is free to patients and costs the government a lot.
So surely if a vitamin or supplement that people could buy was more effective than prescription meds then they would tell people to do that because the NHS sure as shit doesn’t want to be giving unnecessary medication when theres 0 profit to be made.
Good video, Dr Pinely! Was so sad to hear you were fired by the NHS

Same! I just had to check Amazon apparently
And here I was taking ADHD meds to help with that
I'm studying in a different education system so results may vary, but we learned nootropic drugs *can* help but ONLY if there's an actual deficit (i.e. they can't just suddenly make you smarter or improve your memory) AND it only works when certain drugs are used in case of certain conditions
so like, someone is recovering from stroke or has other conditions that lower the flow of blood to parts of their brain? - some nootropic drugs increase blood flow to the brain and *may* help
so it definitely depends on the cause of the brain fog
also I can't see what even *is* in that photo so idk if it's an actual nootropic
everything else is either a huge massive enormous stretch or complete bullshit lol

As someone who’s had glasses since 5th grade, it’s pretty normal for your eyes to hurt and for headaches to occur during the first week or so. (A week is pushing it, but I’d say that’s to be expected with a first pair.)
It takes a bit for your eyes to properly adjust to a new prescription. And since it’s your first pair, it’s gonna be uncomfortable in the beginning. Try to wear them throughout the day as much as you can, but definitely take breaks and take them off for a bit every now and then. Don’t give yourself a migraine, you’ll adjust to them eventually. But anything longer than that, I’d recommend seeing an optician

It's normal to have your eyes hurt due to your vision adjusting to the glasses. If your vision has been bad for a while the correction might be sudden and too much at first
wild that the NHS needed that pharmacist to scrub in for surgery. The health crisis must be worse than I thought
I’m a glasses technician as my work, depending on the type of lenses you got and how strong the prescription is then it can take you a bit to get used to especially since you said it’s your first. If it’s VF as well the fact they are pretty small won’t help you get used to them. Deeper frames are better so the fact you are getting a larger pair is better. If after a few days you are still seeing worse than not wearing them and your eyes are still sore, go back to where you got them. Double check they are definitely the prescription you have and if they are then re do the test.
Most people when they get new glasses for the first time take a few days to get used to it :)
NHS doesn't make you sign anything like an NDA.
She lying. If they did, it would be common knowledge in the UK. Never in my life have I ever heard of a whisper of it

If you're a health worker in the NHS you are bound by strict protocols and procedures. Anyone stepping outside should be carefully checked!
Pinely I ain't a medical professional, but this was my experience with most glasses. They just feel like hell at the beginning
I used to think that too with every new glasses but then I found a doctor that was actually good at choosing glasses for me. They felt great from the very beginning!
@@agnessmonsterSome people are more sensitive to the change though js

Optician here! Totally normal since they are the wrong size. I have some super tiny round frames that do the same thing. If it doesn’t get better with the new ones, have the glasses and prescription rechecked 👍🏻
Thank you for bringing these scammers and shills to light!
I know several people who have worked for the NHS as doctors and nurses. None of them had a contract that prevented them shilling pseudoscience. However, the Nursing and Midwifery Council or whichever professional body licenses them could launch an investigation if a member does unethical things.
If your eyes are sore especially when you initially put them on at the beginning of the day rather at the end of the day, then you probably have to readjust your prescription just a bit. It's happened to me twice but all the other times I got glasses they were perfectly fine.
SO important to call out these bullshitters!!
it's arguably even worse when people use a well known, well respected doctor to sell said scam
South africa had something like this as well. Dr Lani. Even sold pills 😂
"Prevents menopause outbreaks" had me dead, it's not an infection like what
Pinely, I work as an optical dispenser and the first thing we tell people when they collect their glasses is there is an adaption period! Your eyes are working hard to adapt to your new prescription, so headaches are very common. Because the glasses are a lot smaller than you expected, that can also affect the focal point of the lenses, so hopefully your next pair has the correct PD measurements. If they feel wonky or uncomfortable to wear (on the arms or behind your ears) then take them to an optometrist and get them to adjust them so they fit correctly. Hope that helps!! Peace and love 🫶
Lmao the head & shoulders “hair discolouration” is actually kinda true in a way. Head & shoulders washes your hair so well, it kinda removes the hair dye from your hair way quicker than other shampoos. So your hair might end up being “discoloured” if it was dyed previously
The NHS need to sue these channels.😂
Don't worry about the glasses. I also just started wearing mine, never did it before - and all that shit passes in less than a week (but it got me worried at first, so I did consult a professional). Your eyes just need to refocus. I also broke mine already and glued them together in a messy manner. Now, I definitely look like a dweeb.
Hearing “gentle breeze” in a commentary video like this gave me a mini heart attack for some reason lmao. Too many YTP memories
Not a doctor or med professional but a fellow bad sight-haver and glasses wearer. Every time I get a new pair of glasses my eyes hurt and I get a headache sometimes, it only lasts for a day or two though. I think it’s your eyes adjusting to finally being able to see properly. If you’re still having headaches after a few day I would call the optometrist.
Dr Mike in the thumbnail of this video genuinely made my HEART SINK Orr you scared the hell out of me I was like NOOO I TRUSTED HIM
You should find better doctors to trust... He's a celebrity dr who understands about as much about medicine as "Dr Oz" and has the ethics to match.
He had a yacht party during COVID while preaching the importance of following guidelines, lied about it and then only apologised on his much smaller channel, during which he excused himself by citing the guidelines for during swimming and acting as though they applied to him on his 50 person yacht party, where he was pictured not wearing a mask, not distancing in the slightest, actually touching people, getting right up in people's faces performing chiropractic adjustments, for some reason

thats normal, getting used to a new glasses script is rough. ive had glasses since i was about 8 or so, and im 25 now and need an updated script every year and going thru the process of adjusting is a pain in the ass and makes me feel like i answered wrong on every question the optometrist asked me during the vision test. and then youre normal after about 2 weeks. ur good man
Glasses take getting used to. Eventually, you'll get so used to them that you forget they're there. Having properly sized ones help too.

You don't upgrade from nurse to Doctor, you either study to become a nurse or you study to become a Doctor.
I've been seeing scammers stealing specifically nurse photos, they don't use their own pics for sure
As someone who wears glasses there can be an adjustment period. Mine usually last like a day or two before i get used to the new perscription/curve of the lens. Shouldnt hurt or anything though should just be a little disorienting, i have had headaches from new glasses though but again nothing serious just my eyes feeling a little strained from the new lens
pretty sure cranberry also stops ur meds from working 💀
4:00 I love the music, same music that is used in Fallout New Vegas
Bro they sent you the whole wrong prescription not just the “wrong size”. Putting on your glasses for the first time should be like the Logan Paul color blind glasses video but unironically
I think it can vary. I've been wearing glasses nearly 40 years now, from at least 10 different opticians across 4 different companies and I've never had a new pair be pleasant during the first few days 😅
New glasses are the worst when you're getting used to them! The headache goes away after your eyes adjust though
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the known medical professionals on TikTok who are getting their “reactions” cropped and pasted at the bottom of a product so it looks like they’re promoting it
I've been wearing glasses since I was six . They always tell you - give it time to adjust . Dizziness and headaches will pass . NOT A DOCTOR
First pairs of glasses will hurt like hell. I remember being very disoriented in fifth grade. My choices were squint or be dizzy.
That sounds crazy to me. I've never had that experience with my glasses. Well, I did once, but that's because the prescription was wrong.
Hey Pinely I've been a professional glasses wearer for quite a few years. My eyes also hurt when I last changed my prescription because I have astigmatism and my optometrist increased the angle on the cylinder lens. I had a headache, and was quite dizzy until I got used to it. Took a bit over a week but I'm good now, so it's likely you're also fine!
i’m worried for the kids who are too young to know better and just believe whatever they see.
Wearing a new glasses with a different number than your previous one or wearing glasses for the first time causes those symptoms. Your eyes are adjusted to work harder so your vision is used to working with that. As someone that has gone through many glasses I always feel this way at first.
Don’t worry about the glasses! I’ve had to wear them all my life and a new prescription always takes some time to adjust to. Headaches during the first week or so are normal!
Nootropics are an umbrella term for “smart drugs” which can be anything from supplements to prescription meds. The evidence varies (even for the prescription stuff) but essentially food and sleep is always going to be the most effective
Person who worked in an optical laboratory for a few years and still has a lot of contact with optomologists and optometrists.
Glasses that are the wrong size will NOT work correctly as the intetpupillary distance (IPD) will be dramatically off. So I wouldn't expect these glasses to be representative of much.
However, progressive lenses do take time to get used to and peoples eye muscles are often so worn out and unused to being able to work properly that there is a 2 week to two month adjustment period in my experience. It is why we often had to tell people "wear your glasses when you should no matter what, the less frequently you wear them when you should be the harder it will be to adapt"
Goodluck.
For your eye pain. I remember i had a pair that particularly hurt with the combination of too small frames, first pair to adjust my astigmatism, and possibly entering in the wrong pupil distance. If its the astigmatism, once your eyes have a week or 2 to adjust it wont hurt anymore.
As a fellow glass wearer, i think it's your eyes trying to adjust to the glasses. Happened to me too. The box in which my glasses came has "give your glasses 10 days to adjust".
As a glasses wearer, I refused to wear my glasses as a child. I always kept them in my backpack cuz I never put them on when I woke up, only when I noticed I couldn't see the board from my seat. Unsurprisingly, my sight got worse.
Probably the first time I felt really compelled to like and subscribe 😂
Im not a medical professional, but i have worn glasses my whole life. Yes, fresh lenses hurt and cause headaches for a week or two until your eyes get used to the assistance ❤
I just got my first pair of glasses a few months ago and yes, it’s totally normal to have a fucking headache and to almost puke because it hurts your eyes so much it makes you dizzy LMAO. It goes away after a week or two and your eyes will adjust
It’s actually normal to go thru headaches and feeling like you don’t see as well at first with glades because you become used to subpar vision and the sudden clearness can give you headaches while you adjust and you have to get used to seeing more clearly.
Honestly I think that’s a normal part of getting new glasses with a different prescription. I got horrible headaches when I first got glasses, but they stopped soon enough and i objectively see better with them.
As a person who wears glasses since i was like 6 years old and has to change them from time to time for different reasons, i can tell you that three first days are pretty normally uncomfortable! Headaches are nothing to worry about, your eyes are just confused. When i change to new glasses, i always feel like the world is uncomprehensibly four dimensional. And taking glasses off after a day of wearing... ooh, takes me a month to get used to new switch in world's reaolution. That's fine, you should get used to it all, but if headache lasts for more than a week, you should see your doc! Especially if they gave you 100% sight correction, that's sometimes so unncesessary and causes troubles
Sounds like my first pair of glasses. They were the complete wrong prescription and I got a different eye test done somewhere else. My current glasses don't hurt at all,
it's pretty normal for your eyes to take time to adjust after getting new glasses, according to my optometrist. I got awful headaches at first and was just told to take some pain meds and push through it lol
Hey Pinely, Dont worry abiut your glasses making you see worse unless it persists with the new glasses. If they came too small the PD is probably incorrect which means the light isnt refracting in the correct place to compensate for the deformity of your eye. Once you have your new glasses, the light will refract correctly and itll be smooth sailing ♡
Gee I wonder why that first doctor no longer works for the health system
0:15 welcome to the joys of glasses! I've had glasses for about 10 years and my eyes/head always hurt at the end of the day from eye strain. My prescription is perfect I think my eyes are just stupid.
I'm not a medical expert but that first-time glasses pain sounds familiar. As you adjust to the clarity and the different ways your muscles work with the glasses, you'll settle into it (I think)
A bit late but as a glasses wearer, what you're experiencing is normal, especially if it's your first time wearing them at all. Let me explain how my eye doctor explained it to me:
You have to see out of your eyes. So when your eyes are having problems, your brain subconsciously tells your eyes to strain to work around the issue. If you exert a lot of energy into seeing without even knowing it, once you have glasses that allow you to see properly without straining, your brain becomes confused, which causes a headache, because you're subconsciously trying to strain your eyes to focus the same way you did without glasses. If the situation doesn't resolve after about a week, I would mention it to the professional that wrote the prescription for your glasses or the folks making the glasses for you to make sure they were made properly.
Personally, I'm farsighted with a nearsighted astigmatism. It causes MAJOR issues with my vision that until I got glasses, I never realized how hard I was straining to see things properly. The straw that broke my back was intense light sensitivity and a halo effect on basically anything producing light and making things like driving difficult. When I got my glasses, I had the exact same issue you had: they gave me headaches and it felt like the glasses weren't helping. I called the doctor and asked if it was normal. And he said the above to me. Once he told me that I started an exercise to help my eyes adjust. Every day, for about five minutes, I would put on my glasses and fully unfocus my eyes. Make everything fuzzy on purpose. Then id slowly refocus my eyes until I could see through my glasses. That's when I started noticing how different seeing with the glasses and without really looked.
Honestly it might be best reporting this sort of thing to the various medical councils of the professionals being impersonated (GPMC, BPC, NMC) because it brings disrepute on the profession.
