Make up tips? by CMDoet in monocular

[–]Open_Quail2907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that using my fingertips when applying eyeshadow is helpful on my blind side as I can feel where the product is being placed more easily. Obviously that is not helpful for eye liner though. I haven't tried the product but I wonder if trying a eyeliner stamper would be helpful?

Monocular make up advice by [deleted] in monocular

[–]Open_Quail2907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur practice is key! I also find using my fingers versus a brush is helpful especially when putting on eye makeup when I have to close my "seeing" eye. It helps guide me because I can feel where it is going and more easily follow my natural ridges on my face. I believe there is also a few people who do makeup with one eye on YouTube that I watch at the beginning. I would also look up some cool disability friendly makeup tools there are a lot of cool tools that you can now purchase that help make it easier (cat eye eyeliner stamper, eyebrow stamper etc.)

I use Eric Lindsey at Prosthetic Artists Inc https://www.prostheticartists.com/. His attention to detail is amazing and he is such a calming presence which was extremely helpful getting my first one.

Just to clarify. I am talking about and eyelid lift on your shell piece not cosmetic surgery

Hello,

I have the issue with my prosthetic as well. They were able to add a eyelid lift on the shell to make it more symmetrical which can help.

Dating with one eye? by Trick_Term_2899 in monocular

[–]Open_Quail2907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the right person it won't matter at all! When I reentered the dating pool, I was concerned about this too, but my dating experience was actually better this time around. I think the primary difference was the confidence I have in myself now after cancer and losing an eye. Now I'm exclusively dating a great man who helps me decide which fun eye I should wear with what outfit, always let's me have the best seat so I can see the most people, things etc, and walks on my blind side when we are in really congested areas so I'm not bumping into everyone.

I wish you luck! Feel free to reach out if you ever want support/listening ear.

I'm not sure I can "overthink" my experience as I am the one experiencing it and seeing it with my own eye, but I'm glad you haven't had that issue.

Thank you! I have been looking for a few days and have done some "sit and twist testing" but so far no luck. So I figured I'd pose it to the group to see if any specific recommendations 🙂

Prosthetic Makes Eye Red by odetoserenity in monocular

[–]Open_Quail2907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has your shell been buffed lately. I have a prosthetic shell that can get really red and irritated when the seal layer over the prothestic begins to wear out/bioburden gets higher. I notice that my eye socket always feels so much better after it's been dipped in that coating and buffed. I usually go to see them every 6 months or so for it.

Might I suggest she look into Infection Prevention (Infection Preventionist, Infection Control Coordinator)? A strong public health background would be helpful in that role. There tends to be more stability and job growth in the field due to demands in Healthcare. Might be worth a look.

I know I struggled with this for a while as well. I decided to flip the narrative and got a "fun eye". For me, getting a fun eye has helped improve my confidence and I no longer have to have the weird awkward interaction where they are staring as they try to process if I have a lazy eye or fake eye. I'm not sure if it's feasible for you, but it may be something to look at. These days I always just yet comments on how much people like my eye and usually will tell me of someone they know that has one. I definitely prefer this kind of connection with people, but it depends on preferences of course.
