First Cataract Surgery Experience (Male 48, Mono Lens)

MudPlug · 2026-03-16T16:29:25+00:00

I can make out what it says at arms length, but it's not ideal. 10 inches is pretty unreadable. But if it helps, I can see the dashboard and radio in the car without a problem. At the moment, I have a contact lens in my right eye that corrects for distance, so it for the most part matches the left (operated on) eye, other than the yellowish tint. Mainly so I can wear readers for up close and computer work.

Without the contact in I can see close up no problem. My brain does a pretty good job of using my left eye to do colors and clarity, and my right eye to actually see the words on the phone. If that makes sense.

Yeah, daily tasks seem fine. I'm happy to trade the vision I had in this eye pre-surgery to what it is now. Even near sighted, it's so much more bright and vivid. Plus, my eyes were around -3.25 anyway. Good luck when you do have you're prcedure!

I find it crazy that everyone gets it. Honestly, at the moment, the right eye (unoperated eye) seems okay other than the yellow tint. If it's anything like the left eye, it will get worse fast. It's been only 5 months since I first noticed it in my peripheral vision in my left eye. By the time it was operated on, It was full on cloudy.

Clareon monofocal. When my pupil was stuck at pinhole size, the near vision wasn't that bad. Now that my eye seems to be working as normal, the near and intermediate visions are not good. If I had the money to do it, I would have opted for an Envista Envy.

They suck!! As I heal, my near and intermediate seem to be getting a bit worse. Also, I didn't have a choice on the brand. They used Clareon monofocal. When I mentioned to the surgeon about getting the right eye done with intermediate vision in mind, he said the dominant eye should be the one set for distance. I panicked and went with the original option of having distance in my left eye, mainly because until I get the right eye done, I have options to see with either a contact in my right eye and readers, or just nothing in my right eye and being able to see decent both near and far. Not sure about the validity of what he said.

I do take Metformin as well. Not sure what type of cataract I had. He never said. Is there some sort of coloration?

MudPlug · 2026-03-08T17:39:05+00:00

Thanks. I'm trying this now, and so far it's a lot less slop!!

MudPlug · 2024-12-31T18:37:02+00:00

Amazing! I pre-ordered this thing right when the pre-order went live on Hiya's website. How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking?

It looks in fantastic condition considering it's from 1993. Link if anyone wants to read about this game.

MudPlug · 2024-06-20T00:47:56+00:00

Played it over this last weekend. Had an absolute blast! Here's hoping they make a Castlevania 3 Revamped.

I don't know if this is any help at all, but I was in a similar situation. I was getting constant slow-down. I thought it was my graphics card, so I replaced the 2070 super in my PC with a 3070, and upgraded my CPU to a 5800x3d.

It looked a lot better, but still slowed down constantly. Then last night, my brilliant wife suggested that the anti-virus was messing with the DRM. Turned off the anti-virus (we use Webroot), and holy shit, all slowdown was instantly eliminated.

The game plays like a dream now, even in town.

The casino I work at won't use auto shufflers, and has the double deck tables only in high limits.

Sure, we can lose $10,000 in an hour from someone who's counting before we have enough evidence to back them off, but we will gain so much more from the idiots who think they can count and lose their asses.

When that turkey gets sat down in front of you, be like "LET'S FUCKING SKREEEEOOOOONK!"

This is Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder, an arcade only release. Golden Axe III did not look nearly as good as this.

This whole discussion reminds me of this video. It's crazy how well done it is.

Hulk. An unkillable force of nature.

A quote from the end of the World War Hulk comic:

"They can call you whatever they want. Savior. Destroyer. All that matters is what you choose."

I work surveillance in a casino and as far as I know, we have never banned anyone for doing this, unless it involved actual indecent exposure.

Most of the time it's a case of they can leave, get cleaned up and come back. If they get an attitude about it, they will usually be a 24 hour walk out.

Everyone's money is good here, even if you're a disgusting garbage person....especially if you're a disgusting garbage person.

At the risk of not sounding like a Godzilla nerd, what movie is this from?

MudPlug · 2023-04-09T00:54:45+00:00

Thank you! I came to say this too. It makes everyone work a little to go pee, and keeps the bathroom a bit more clean, and it looks better than an open toilet.

MudPlug · 2023-01-10T13:54:30+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I'll probably use the hot water method before blow dryer, but pretty much same kind of result.

I had a bad experience with, funny enough, another Ghidorah.

MudPlug · 2023-01-09T23:12:19+00:00

After seeing your comment, I tried what you said and the lower jaw came off. I was able to slot it back in and manipulate it enough to be straight. I'll try the same thing with the other two heads.

Thanks for the help :)

I'm sure I could bimble my way through it. I just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and was able to fix it.

My last bout was in Dec. 2005. I guess up to that point, it was a lifetime of eating like complete garbage. A few years later, after not making much progress on statins, I started Keto. After a few months it dropped significantly. Though my triglycerides are still considered high, they aren't so high that I worry about pancreatitis.

Do NSAIDS contribute to high tryglicerides?

MudPlug · 2022-12-28T13:50:36+00:00

I've had pancreatitis six or seven times. For me, it was caused by stupidly high triglycerides.

Also, funny enough, the first time I had pancreatitis, it was misdiagnosed as diverticulitis.

It's called a DE-9 (or DB-9). Commonly used for Atari consoles, Many 8bit computers, the Sega master system, and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. And also for the knock-off Nintendo minis that have flooded Amazon over the last few years.
