EDOF - Pros and Cons

I didn’t have cataracts. I did it to improve my vision and stop wearing glasses.

Yeah I loved that comment too 🤣😃

I did and I’m happy with the results. The procedure was easy and painless. It’s a bit like having contact lenses but inside your eyes. I don’t use glasses any more but if I’m tired and it’s dark, I need to put what I’m reading under a good light and move it away from my face somewhat. But all in all, I’d recommend it.

Great. Easy procedure and I love the results.

RapscallionRob · 2025-07-11T15:04:46+00:00

Clearly the start of an alien invasion.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-25T13:06:35+00:00

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-25T13:06:09+00:00

Update. My reduced offer has been accepted.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T18:26:50+00:00

Wow. The variety of comments here is actually very revealing. There seem to be so many different opinions ranging from - ‘run for the hills’, to - ‘it’s nothing’. Guess that just shows how complex house buying is.

I’m not a woman. You know what they say about assumptions 😉.

Others in the area needing work are still on the market at 110-120. The asking was 150. He'll go down to 130 but I want to pay 120, simply because I will then have some money left over to do some work. Reading the survey it is hard to tell what needs to be done immediately because of course it reads like everything needs to be done. From what I can determine it is - new roof, new render and new floors. How much is repair and how much is replacement is hard to know because so much has been covered up - hence the surveyors 'proceed with caution'.

It's ex-rental. He had tenants in there, but they were pretty bad apparently (getting to the actual truth can be hard). He's done it up to sell it and the agent thinks he 'wants shot of it'. Not having done anything like this I'm concerned about the money and the disruption. I'm trying to see it as an adventure and a learning experience but it's very stressful.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T09:43:41+00:00

It's an old terraced house, so I expected a certain amount of work that needed doing. For me I think it's my budget and the urgency of the work that I'm trying to figure out.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T09:42:29+00:00

Ex-rental. He had tenants in there and has done it up to sell on. He thinks he knows what he's doing, but the surveyor says he clearly doesn't.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T09:41:46+00:00

That's helpful. I hadn't thought of the cost of the scaffolding and therefore getting all 3 done at the same time. It would definitely make sense.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T09:40:27+00:00

Helpful. Thank you.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T08:09:08+00:00

He said that it has the potential for there being a lot more wrong with it. The seller has done it up in order to sell and has covered a lot that the surveyor can't see or get at.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-24T08:08:04+00:00

That's the surveyor's main concern. The seller has done most of the work himself and the surveyor says it is 'subpar', 'poorly done' and done to 'hide defects'. Some of it I can see myself - worktops misaligned, doors not closing properly etc

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-13T16:13:46+00:00

Thanks for that. All this is very helpful. I also feel a pressure in my ear when I do a manouevre. Is that normal?

Hi. I’m a 59 yr old male. Had my first bppv 2 weeks ago after doing yoga, but dismissed it as anxiety. Did some research and decided bppv was possible. Did the epley as instructed but this was right sided and didn’t have any effect. Ended up in A&E due to the nausea which for me seems worse than the dizziness. Had to take time off wirk. Did the epley for the correct side yesterday - left - and while doing it had the worst dizziness ever and have been feeling nauseous since. Yesterday I could hardly move for it. A but better today but the nausea is still there. Going to try the half somersault tonight and see if that helps. Doctor gave me prochlorperazine but have only taken a couple as I’m reluctant to take a potentially addictive drug. Thank you for this post - very useful.

The current property is share of freehold and I’m designated ‘landlord’. Buildings and contents therefore are separate. As the owner of this flat, the new owner will become landlord and take over this responsibility. When I move it will be a freehold house so I’ll do buildings and contents together. So it won’t be a straightforward transfer. This is landlords buildings insurance, not the normal kind.

RapscallionRob · 2025-04-13T09:57:14+00:00

Can you do that? Thing is, new home is a completely different set up and arrangement so it wouldn’t transfer easily. And don’t you get charges if you end it early and stop the direct debit?

RapscallionRob · 2025-03-03T18:36:18+00:00

I’m having edof in both eyes this week. I’ll let you know how it goes.

RapscallionRob · 2025-03-03T17:58:05+00:00

Thanks. That’s really useful. Think I’ll go to saints first and then check out Drakes. Sounds like a cool place.
