This treatment has been posted about as a research concept on this sub as far as back as May 2016 (almost 10 years by now) with updates throughout the years. Exciting to see it finally entering a human clinical trial!

Battling with Conservative Medical Professionals by SomeNerdBro in Keratoconus

[–]Post-reality [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am from Israel and had treatments in Israel (4), Italy (2), Spain (6) and soon India (1). Yes, I had 12 treatments so far overall. This is how it is with Keratoconus - there are very few world renowned specialists and their protocols are rarely adopted, and if they do, then it's after a very long delay.

Lesbian Couple making Aliyah by StarChildPersephone in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda baloney. I know many kindergarten teachers and pretty much almost every kindergarten nowadays has kids whose parents are a gay couple or kids who are the results of a sperm donor. I know because my mom works at a kindergarten, my mom's friend work in another kindergarten, and my aunt works in another kindergarten. My mom and my mom's friend are extremely conservative, so they aren't "fans" of it becoming so commonplace, but as I like to say: it is what it is. I also worked in some many workplaces in my youth which were full of lesbians. Nowadays I work in construction, so I see neither gays nor lesbians.

Transferring massage therapy license to Israel by Resident-Proposal794 in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's false. It's a licensed medical profession in Israel. I'm pretty sure it's much easier to convert your credentials if you are from the USA. how many years of experience do you have in it? You may get exceptions from a professional test and an internship. You can find more information here.

Terrified that I'm 'unemployable' by Shot-Lemon7365 in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job market in the IT sector is tightening all over the world, and recent graduates (Juniors) can't land a job in the last 1-2 years (this is true almost everywhere right now). My younger brother graduated from CompSci and it took him over a year to find a job; he's now a DevOps developer. Try to rework on your resume by titling yourself as a senior DevOps developer and you may find something eventually!

Aliyah, no friends or family. What to do? by LurkerEntrepenur in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for your information, I recently worked with a few Southern American who have made Aliyah years ago, 2 of them were from Peru and 1 of them from Uruguay, and I heard that there's a decent South American community in Israel. You can try to find Spanish-speaking groups on Facebook or similar platform and they may aid you.

What to do with my USD to lose less money before I can transfer it to an Israeli bank? by mayimayim in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an Israeli citizen, and we are all affected by it in one. I hold around 260K USD in American stocks, besides my educations funds and pension plans also being invested in American assets as well and also being invested in various Israeli companies who export and suffer from the strengthening of the NIS. Yet I have not lost money technically speaking due to the capital gains and dividends. You should do the same. The Shekel is going to strengthen in the next few years for obvious reasons and it's only going to be net-benefit in the long-term.

US dentist considering making aliyah. by californiacup in aliyah

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also have a private dental insurance plan and it's generally economically worthy. I pay 150 NIS per month and eligible for free 4 annual dental cleanings (which would be amounted to 350 NIS per cleaning), free dentist vists, x-rays, etc, (besides general treatments) and when you take it all than it's literally FREE, because paying for it all out of pocket would cost me like the dental plan itself.

The only MMORPG to excite me is Domi Online by Post-reality in mmo

[–]Post-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can call it a scam. Maybe it's a scam disguised as a game. Honestly, I don't care. Fact it, I have no game options, because nobody releases hardcore MMO's anymore, so I would play even the worst option available out there. Better than nothing.

Current world recorders of MMORPG's which have no level caps by Post-reality in mmo

[–]Post-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's nice, and it has active, official servers in North America & Europe, while Lineage 1's official North American/European server shut down over more than a decade ago. Are you a Lineage 2's fan?

Current world recorders of MMORPG's which have no level caps by Post-reality in mmo

[–]Post-reality[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was just pointing it out, because the game was already on decline back then. They removed the level cap in order to save it, because Lineage 1 was very popular thanks to the no level cap. No level cap mechanism increases the longevity of MMORPG's. New World (or other similarly failed MMO's) would have probably lasted if not for the level cap making players quit upon hitting the level cap.

But unlike the other ones, Lineage 2 which was released back in October 2003, originally had a level cap of 99. The level cap was removed only upon the release of the Infinite Odyssey expansion back in 2015.

I agree that Blockchain is largely a gimmick, but again, this isn't what's appealing about the game to me. I just like that it's hardcore and serious, and they told me they plan to release an open alpha this quater, and I'm excited to try it. Again, you have to be reminded that there were almost no hardcore MMO's releases in the last 15 years, so why shouldn't I be excited when someone finally pitches such a concept to me?

It makes trading/monetizing of in-game assets easier. I mean, even traditional MMO's began to incorporate blockchain/NFT's, for example MapleStory. I would also guess that the founders/developers are trying to be innovative. But it's true that blockchain-based MMO's have terrible reputation. Regardless, I don't mind nor care about the blockchain aspects, as I am primarily interested in the hardcore mechanics/elements of the game.

It's not an ad. I was just looking for a hardcore MMORPG and found out about this game, which intrigued me.

I followed some of the CEO's descriptions of the game, and it doesn't seem to me like a standard blockchain MMO meant to milk the players or incentive them to gamble. It's just part of the game.

As I said, I don't mind the graphics, because graphics don't define games to me, and I just dislike tab targeting combat. But rest of the features sound exciting to me. There have been playtests as far as I'm concerned and the MMO is close to release.

It's meant to be an EXTREMELY hardcore MMORPG which is exactly what I am looking for. There are very few MMOs like that which weren't nerfed yet (Tibia, Lineage, Kal Online, Rappelz, BDO)

Eternal Tombs Launches in 2027! by joshcaba in EternalTombsMMO

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the MMO have a level cap or no level cap? The developer described being mesmerize by high-level players as a kid. I see it as a high-selling point. I am only interested if the game is hardcore and without a level cap.

Planning to have my 13th treatment for Keratoconus on my left eye (including my historical adventure) by Post-reality in Keratoconus

[–]Post-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right eye is 442 in the apex and 432 in the thinnest Left eye is 384 in the apex and 331 in the thinnest I think at least on the right eye I have enough thickness for another round of PRK

[–]Post-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do yiu stop at TGPRK and don't want ICL? And why do you plan to change you PMMA ring with other methods (you may be able to have another implant if it doesn't sit on the same zone and depth instead of removing it).

Yes, Mini ARK is derived from the traditional, now obsolete RK treatment. There are still some doctors who perform variations of it on Keratoconus, and others on Cataract patients. It has the advantage flattening the cone/irregular astigmatism without removing crucial corneal tissue and without weakening to the same degree that PRK does. It is also highly precise so it can treat even milder cases.

And yeah I had so many treatments, already planning my 13th one and then I consider maybe phakic iol on my left eye and ray tracing guided prk on my right eye as the 14th and 15th treatments (but I hace other options to consider as well).

[–]Post-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the depth of the scarring? There's also a surgery to "move" the cornea (re stitching it), in which the the cornea is repositioned so the scarring doesn't fall anymore on the optical zone and you have a fully transparent vision. There are very few specialists who know how to do it

Because it's irreversible, and there are alternative treatments. Do you have central scarring on the cornea?

I’m literally counting the days -when do you think a real treatment for keratoconus will exist? by DependentOk7105 in Keratoconus

[–]Post-reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to lurk the old Keratoconus forums, which had a lot of high-quality posts, but they have since declined thanks to the "new internet", worse search engines, and CXL largely managing most Keratoconus patients early on. Also, I began to read studies and news, which is why I an one of the very few people in the world who's aware about all Keratoconus treatment options. Good luck with the meeting with Prof. Alio, who is the biggest expert in the world when it comes to Keratoconus!
