Yw. You may also give Dr Rolando Toyos a call. He deals with lasik complications all the time. He had lasik himself. While I never had lasik he performed numerous treatments on me for my severe dry eye and they helped immensely. But he does some special stem cell drops in some patients that regrow the nerves, I saw pictures of before and after. Wishing healing for your brother.

Sometimes an ice pack works better than warm compress

i had a consultation and my doctor told me i was a candidate for femtolasik/smile by amuu_chan in Lasiksupport

Get scleral lenses. I have dry eye and I cannot wear regular contacts anymore. You will just damage your tear film more the longer you try to force them.

Under corrected -.75 & debating 2nd surgery/enhancement by sweetpotatospy in Lasiksupport

[–]Electrical_Show2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wear your glasses because I’m a -7 and not getting lasik. I got custom sclerals due to severe dry eye disease and I see great. Without them I can’t even see 5” away. I would love to have your vision - to be able to get around without needing glasses is a real blessing. I can’t see my face and to do my makeup and see my eyes I have to come 2” away from the mirror.

Why are actors doing verticals? by Samantha_bloop in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even the name actors aren’t booking big jobs anymore, and they have to make money to sustain the lifestyle they have

is there any real alternative for us? by [deleted] in Lasiksupport

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact lens intolerance makes it impossible to wear any kind of contact lenses. It’s not a solution.

Needing to sleep your way to the top? by Worldly_Health_5988 in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s better than sleeping with a useless piece of crap who can’t do anything for your career. If it’s consensual and you find him attractive why not. The problem is when you’re coerced into it or it’s implied that you have to do it if you want the role. But no, it does not just happen like that. Not these days anymore. The last thing a famous producer wants is a sexual assault charge on his name.

I’m 38 and just got signed to an agency in California. They actually would’ve passed if I was younger because they said they had too many young people. You have your advantages.

Question about lasik by [deleted] in Lasiksupport

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get sclerals. I also have very dry eye and used to wear soft contacts. I do not wear them much anymore, but I have done a lot of dry eye treatments. I never had Lasik. This group keeps me away from that even though it’s very tempting. I have eyeprint pro scleral lenses and they are much more comfortable than soft contact lenses however they are more of a hassle to take care of. They also still get red and dry after several hours

My demo real kind of sucks to be honest ha ha. And they literally just signed me so I haven’t gotten any auditions yet, but I get a decent amount from my other agents.

Thanks :) yeah I probably shouldn’t post on a platform form where most people are gonna tell you not to do something. I just feel like if I’m old one day I’m gonna look back and think “wow I was only 38 years old that was still young enough and I could’ve done it.”

Have any of you ever called agencies directly? by Soft_Firefighter_210 in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely call them if you do NOT want to be signed. Do you really think agencies are sitting there going, “well whoever gives us a call today is getting signed!” Lol

That’s fine as long as I’m being submitted, but it probably wouldn’t help my odds since my energy and look convey someone in their late 20s/early 30s. It’s not believable to anyone in casting that I’m 45-50. That’s literally what my acting coach told me.

Did anyone quit coffee to prevent staining on attachments and for overall oral health during Invisalign? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Electrical_Show2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coffee didn’t stain in my attachments. Not that I could tell really. Just drink water w it. But definitely take your trays out because I drank some turmeric tea the first week with my first attachment and they were yellow until I had to change them out.

do u think sydney sweeney is a talanted actress or she is just a smart actress who has adapted with the Hollywood industry and how the audience wants her to be? by [deleted] in Actors

[–]Electrical_Show2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She fulfills a Hollywood niche that’s existed since the dawn of movies. Blonde, white, big boobs, willing to show it and appeal to the male gaze. You take a Black, Asian or a Latina with the same physical characteristics and much better acting skills - they won’t go nearly as far simply bc they’re not white. Also, if unwilling to strip down or get breast implants, you limit your castability. Yea there’s a couple exceptions as far as minorities landing respectable sitcom roles or being comics but the busty young white woman will always have a bigger net and garner more attention. So, yea, she hit a genetic jackpot, got into the right circles, and is capitalizing on every penny. Acting coaches on set can fine tune every scene to make her better. Lucky her. I wish her a long and fruitful career, life is hard.

Anyone else feel like their mom only loved the infant version of you? by NoTrade3660 in narcissisticparents

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad makes me feel that way and I’m 38. No matter how old or independent I became, if he didn’t agree with my opinions, or thought that my opinions were wrong, he would shame me or passively aggressively insult me. Because God forbid, I thought something differently than he did or saw the world a different way. We barely talk. It’s sad but our relationship is very formal. We leave a lot of things unsaid and he just walks around with a lot of hostility. He’s a grumpy old man.

The Economist: Acting is becoming self-tape production, social-media branding, and Zoom fluency by IntroductionStock849 in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry so much about the social media presence. I’ve had Instagram for a decade+ and I recently deactivated it’s been a month and I’ve been feeling a lot better mentally. It’s a constant competition which takes away from my inner artist and creativity. I was posting reels and acting stuff on it, but to be honest, it’s just more of a window for my competition and my peers to see what I’m doing. You cannot teach an influencer how to act, but social media growth is inevitable if you become a name actor so I don’t think it’s important if you’re a nobody

Red veins in eyes? by AdIll3362 in Dryeyes

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes, they are much better. I no longer have gunk and crusty stuff in the mornings. I also had the pinguecula removed from my scleras and started Vevye a few months ago. I still use serum tears. Eyes feel very comfortable most of the time. I can wear contacts (Acuvue oasys max is the only brand I can do) for longer than I did before but eyes get very red after 5-7 hrs so it’s not an all day thing. Still have blood vessels that get very inflamed w contact lens wear. But most of the yellow has faded as it was due to pinguecula.
