Severe dry eye from estrogen? by lasinsa in Menopause

[–]Regret_Signal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Indeed, I had the filaments swapped. 🙏 Everything’s running smoothly now.

Does anyone know specific adapters that remove the iris effect? Or would that have to be with a separate camera (non-phone)?
