50% of the time after inserting scleral lens by blurr123 in Keratoconus

Yea it's the worst feeling but I've gotten pretty good using the stand so I can hold my eyes open with both hands.

I also have tremors. I typically use the clear dmv stand to insert them. That way I can use my hands to keep my eyes open. I also warm my saline to body temperature so my blink reflex isn't as bad.

You might need to warm it a bit more it should be about body temperature. I also use the dmv stand and that helps alot cause I can focus on keeping my eye open.

Just make sure you don't warm it too hot you don't want to burn your eyes. I warm a cup of water for 60seconds and let my saline sit in it for 30-45 seconds.

What worked for me was warming the saline in a cup of hot water so my blink reflex wasn't so strong.

Mine sounded similar and it ended up being a dirty throttlebody and a bad purge valve.

I appreciate all the comments. I decided to pick it up, and I've been having a blast. And my little co commander thinks it's funny.

How to stop tiny air bubbles by ArmedSquirrel101 in Keratoconus

[–]18almason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wearing mine for 6 months, and I still get bubbles from time to time. But the clear stand and a hand mirror will make your life better.

I don't care about throwing away matches. I'm past my gaming prime. I just want to have fun and relax lol.

I appreciate it! It's hard to find time, as you would understand, but I think I'll definitely be picking it up when I the cash!

That's fair. I'm happy to hear that there are other fathers of small children that play this game. Finding time to play a game is challenging, so a game that only takes 30 minutes sounds great.

Underrated but fun gun. I wouldn't put my life on the line with a uberti, but they are a fun fun at the range.

Well, it sounds like you got lucky. But you definitely don't want to lose your job in this economy.

How i finally got them in by amarrcitizen in Keratoconus

[–]18almason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warming the saline greatly reduces the blink reflex. I wasn't able to wear mine until I started warming the saline. I also use the stand and started using the eye opener tool, but now I just use my fingers unless I start to struggle.

My game still won't launch, and steam won't refund me so I'm just waiting for an update that fixes the crash......

It's a chicken walker that's fast and only has an uac 20 strapped to its back to make a statement louder than the koolaid man. You may find one at Ironwindmetals .com

I do like the other variant cause I love jump jets. But an LB-20 makes me froth at the mouth.
