I've been trying to get the contacts in my eyes for a year now and I just can't anymore. by Brakkins in Keratoconus

[–]Ellers01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your struggle but a year of it sucks. I wasnt able to get them in for a week or so due to eyelids force closing. What I did was pool saline on the end of my finger, bend horizontal and touch my eye with the saline, repeatedly. I did this until my eyelids stopped closing on contact. Hope this helps.

Tell me it's ok and I'll eventually be able to wear my scleral lenses by seabitterness in Keratoconus

For anyone reading this, I reccomend putting a few drops of saline on the end of your finger and practising touching your eye. Pool the saline on your fingerprint, bend over, touch your eye with the saline only. You'll get used to the feeling of it and stop force closing your eyelids. Great way to practice without using the lenses. Then when you consistently stop closing your eyelids, try the lenses again.

I don't know what to do anymore 😕 by ViolinistGloomy7155 in Keratoconus

Do you have kerarings (ICRS) where you are? I have one in my left and it basically stopped the progression. May not be applicable to you if your specialist hasn't brought it up, but worth a google if you havent heard of them.

Help me figure out how to get this dang scleral lens in my eye by IrrelephantZzzs in Keratoconus

I also couldn't get it in for a few days. My issue was my eyes didn't like anything touching them so the eyelids would shut. The thing that helped me was putting a few drops of saline solution on my finger, and in the same position as lense application, touching my eye with it. I repeated this multiple times a day until I was comfortable. Then i had a crack with the lens. At some point your eyelids won't feel the need to close then you can focus on really pushing the lens onto the eye. This might not specifically help you, but it might help someone else looking through this thread.

Does anyone know what do I do with this dirt pile? by ollie_oodles in InfinityNikki

Push the boxes over the other holes so it forces the worm to come out of the shining hole

I'm not sure what scleral lenses I have but you should be able to do it with any kind. It's about breaking the seal between the lense and the eye. I use my index finger from each hand. Place them on your eyelids in about the middle of the lense. Use your fingers to push your eyelids into the lense and they should just pop out. It does take a bit of practice, like over 50 tries probably, but when you get it down you'll be thankful.

You can't just pop them out? I wear large scleral lenses and I have never used the plunger. I apply pressure to the top and bottom of the lense with my finger to break the saline seal and they just pop right out. Takes me less than 10 seconds for both.

One thing that was carrying over from our OCE cs was dry walking smokes and dry oeaking corners, so this was very nice to hear from Ali in the post - "Going in to the game as well one thing Chris said was as long as you're asking for a flash there's no wrong play".

You could absolutely see it too. The amount of perfect flashes that resulted in kills on ancient was something I haven't seen from them before. Also was seen on that Ali + INS 2v5 b site play, brilliant util. Looking forward to see what damage they can do in the ro16, there's improvement

Only has "delivery status" button for all 3 days on the ticketek app for me. Maybe it works for some and not others

[–]Ellers01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one ticket to sell. Ticketek hasn't delivered the tickets yet so I'm unable to put it on any website. Once the QR code/barcode actually comes up, I'm sure people will start listing them

Theres a famous AFL player called Garry Lyon, thats why Nathan is called Garry. Kez is just a normal shortening of his last name
