你必须隐藏你的近视：John Lennon 的隐形眼镜
You've got to hide your myopia away: John Lennon's contact lenses
入门 · 约 20 分钟读完前置知识：近视与散光的基本概念、隐形眼镜发展史常识
导读
这篇发表于 Optometry and Vision Science 相关期刊的文章回顾了约翰·列侬的近视与隐形眼镜佩戴史：由于当时硬性隐形眼镜技术不成熟，他佩戴体验很差，甚至据称只有在大麻引起的上睑下垂（眼睑下垂）时隐形眼镜才勉强合适，这也解释了他为何在公开场合常戴墨镜来隐藏近视。文章结合历史资料探讨了名人视力矫正背后的技术与社会因素。
HN 关注点：HN 读者对列侬隐藏近视的轶事和早期隐形眼镜技术的局限感到好奇，并由此展开了对现代视力矫正方案（LASIK、ICL 等）的讨论。

补充调侃人们不爱戴眼镜，并指出列侬隐形眼镜靠大麻致眼睑下垂才合适的趣闻
我觉得有趣的是很多人就是不愿意戴眼镜。我很喜欢换个新眼镜就能完全改变造型，不过我度数低，眼镜丢了不戴也能凑合。另外：他的隐形眼镜居然是因为吸大麻导致的眼睑下垂才勉强合适，这太搞笑了。

I think it's funny how many people really don't want to just wear glasses. I love that I can completely change my look just by getting some new glasses, though I'm admittedly fortunate to have a low rx such that I can get away without wearing them sometimes when I misplace them. Another random comment: I just love that his contacts apparently only fit because of ptosis from using weed.
补充感慨列侬生不逢时，现代 LASIK 技术已能轻松解决类似问题
当年 LASIK 手术还处于实验阶段吗？如果有的话本可以解决列侬经常遇到的硬性隐形眼镜的麻烦。我和列侬的近视加散光诊断类似，最近做了手术，效果非常好——幸好是在技术已经成熟完善的时代。

Was LASIK surgery experimental back then? Would have alleviated the issues John experienced on a frequent basis with those pesky rigid contact lens. I think I had similar diagnosis of myopia and astigmatism as John and its worked wonderfully for me. Fortunately this was completely recently where the techniques have been perfected/improved with technology.
亲历亲历推荐 ICL 植入晶体：可逆、比激光手术安全，效果满意
奇怪没人提到可植入式晶体（ICL）这种长期视力矫正技术。据我所知它可逆，且比激光手术更安全（声明：我不是医生）。我最近双眼植入了晶体，多年近视散光后现在开车完全不用眼镜了！我本可选渐进多焦点晶体，但医生无法保证远近都清晰，所以我选择了能裸眼开车的方案，阅读时用便宜的老花镜。务必研究这些权衡并与医生讨论。真希望早点做！详情见 WebMD 的 ICL 介绍。

Surprised that I haven’t seen anyone recommend or even mention implantable lens technology, for long-term vision correction (maybe I missed the mention). AFAIK, it’s reversible, and safer than laser surgery (LASIK, PRK, etc.)—-nota bene: I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. Anecdotal, but I got lenses implanted in both eyes recently, after living with astigmatism, nearsightedness, and Rx glasses for many years. Very happy with the outcome—-now I can drive without any glasses at all! Well, I do wear sunglasses in the summer, as one does; but now I can wear whatever sunglasses strike my fancy—I’m no longer limited to using those annoying clip-on sunglasses, over my (former) Rx glasses. I could have chosen a ‘progressive’ Rx for my implanted lenses. However, the surgeon would not provide, for my eyes, high assurance that I’d have crisp vision at both nearby and far distances. So, I chose to get implants that would let me drive legally without glasses; and also do most activities without glasses. For reading and computer use, I can use either: cheap ‘drugstore’ magnifying glasses, or Rx glasses for the same purposes. But definitely research those tradeoffs, and discuss with your doctor. Wish I’d done it sooner! More info here: https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/what-to-know-icl-surgery
亲历高度近视者亲证：软性隐形眼镜远比厚重的眼镜实用
软性隐形眼镜的能力让我惊叹。我双眼近视超过 -14 度，戴的隐形眼镜却和普通的一样薄。相比之下，即使用最先进的镜片玻璃，我的眼镜也极厚，而且只有很小的区域不会产生色偏。

I am amazed what soft contacts can do. I have a myopia greater than -14 on each eye and the contacts I wear are as thin as any other regular set. In comparison the glasses I have even with the most advanced glass is extremely thick and only a small area doesn't cause color shifting.
