Ask HN: Do you know any myopia researchers?

1 points by mieubrisse 256 days ago | 2 comments

Hey folks,

After rounds of doctors were unable to explain some visual symptoms I'm having, I recently started treating my high myopia as I would debug a production system: collecting data, building data pipelines, doing analysis, trying to spot trends.

I'd love to talk to people with deep experience about what I'm doing, but my software engineering networks don't overlap at all with medical researchers.

Does anyone know myopia researchers who'd be interested in this type of data-driven research around high myopia?

Well, a quick search on nih.gov shows almost 2000 papers on "high myopia" submitted within the last year, so it sure looks like there are researchers in the world you could reach out to?

Yep, and I've been doing this already! So far no response (understandable; I'm just a random guy), which is why I figured I'd expand my search by posting here on HN.
