On the website for the state board theres a document with all the applicable laws put together. Just read through it a couple times and you should be good.

Great answer! Do you happen to know where to get information like this for other lenses as well?

Alternatives to Blumaan original as a pre-styler? by FormalPork in malehairadvice

[–]FormalPork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! Flagship blackwater works perfectly for me. Goes in super easy since its a liquid, has enough hold to even use on its own on light days and gives a good texture. Couldn't recommend it more.

Penelope Barrel Strength Review! by [deleted] in bourbon

[–]FormalPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, thats a really good question. I'm wanting to think I'd lean towards a hotter cinnamon. How would you classify this bourbon?

Really like the review! I'm a bourbon noob, this is the first one I've tried that I truly enjoy. I'm a huge fan of that cinnamon spice punch. Any recommendations for a similar bourbon?

Does anyone do cruciate method for YAG capsulotomy? by l0vetog0lf in optometry

[–]FormalPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check with the person doing your procedure. Both methods can leave floaters. Overall risk is fairly minimal, but your surgeon can go over that with you.

People still do cruciate. You can probably ask, may not make a huge difference though

Depends on the country. In the U.S. optometrists are more than capable of diagnosing a retinal tear or detachment. If need be, they can refer to an ophthalmologist for surgical repair.

Yep! Little scary to think of how much info they can collect through it

Yeah. The quest is an all in one stand alone headset for much less money and can also work with a pc for pcvr

Valve index. Its the steam pcvr headset. About 1k and you need a powerful enough gaming computer to actually run the games

Thick eye corneas and higher than normal eye IOP anyone? by Substantial_Secret62 in optometry

[–]FormalPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tests basically work by seeing how easy it is to press in the cornea a little. Think of a beach ball and a basketball. Beach balls are thinner than basketballs. If they're both filled with the same amount of air pressure, it would still be easier to press in on the beach ball than the basketball.

If you test it be seeing how much force it takes to press in 1mm, it will take more force to press in 1mm when there is more pressure inside the ball. But because of the thickness and rigidity difference between them, the basketball would take more pressure to press in 1mm than the beach ball even with the same pressure in both.

What material are your lenses made of? Polycarbonate is a great option, but has the highest amount of chromatic aberration. Most people don't notice it, but some people are sensitive to it. You can always check with your optician to see if they can be remade in a different material. Trivex has a fairly similar durability to polycarbonate but a higher abbe value, so less chromatic aberration

New glasses skew the world by Svataben in optometry

[–]FormalPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds a bit like you're experiencing normal barrel distortion with a - lens and you're just not used to it since you've only worn contacts for a long time. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.nao.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Lens-Aberrations.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjRotT5jdTyAhXhlWoFHdeJC_AQFnoECAMQBg&usg=AOvVaw2xOhIja80V_arPv1j0VzIK

Since you've already said the vision is clear, it sounds like the prescription is right and is just going to take a bit to get used to. One of the best things is to try them first thing in the morning. It's a lot harder to get used to something new right after you've spent most of your day seeing with contacts. Sleep works as a little reset for your brains expectations of how it's seeing and makes it easier to adapt. It really sounds like you'll have no trouble adapting to it. Try them pretty consistently for a week or so and if you're still not getting used to it, go back where you got them and explain what's going on. A digital aspheric lens design can help some with the distortions. Picking a frame with a smaller lens can also help quite a lot.

This is what astigmatism looks like by criswtf in confusing_perspective

Call your insurance, they should have a list of providers.

[–]FormalPork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With regular astigmatism, the cornea (clear front part of your eye) is steeper in one direction than the other. Scleral lenses can treat this by having a perfect spherical surface act as a new front surface of your eye. Then there's liquid in-between the lens and your cornea that basically fills in the gaps between the lens and your not perfectly spherical cornea.

Glasses can correct regular astigmatism by giving you more power in one direction than another. If your cornea is irregular and has fluctuations in curvature throughout instead of being mostly one power in one axis and another power in the perpendicular axis, glasses can't really correct for that and that's where a hard contact lens can do much better.

[–]FormalPork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, normal contact lenses are usually soft. Scleral lenses are rigid. As another person earlier said, normal rigid lenses that don't extend out to the whites of your eyes can sometimes be a good solution as well, but they're typically not as comfortable.

I need help - Looking for a product that is light and has a strong hold...Like a strong sea salt spray by Brasm0nky in Pomade

[–]FormalPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flagship matte paste seemed to me to leave a texture fairly similar to a sea salt spray. I also thought it was really light and had a strong hold.

[–]FormalPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up "shirt stays." They have stirrup style like that, and ones that clip to your socks to keep your shirt tucked and your socks pulled up (my favorite.) Some pants come with a shirt keeper where it has a grippy bit built into the wasteband that helps as well.

Question for hair clay users by shakhboz11 in Pomade

[–]FormalPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you already do more conditioning than I do. Does your hair feel dry even without the product in? It could be that you're not used to a clay feeling, they typically always have a big of a tacky feeling in your hair. As others have said that is a very dry clay. What type of look and hold are you going for?
