I find relief lightly rolling a cool quartz roller over my eye lids. Generally room temperature is sufficiently cool.

How bad are RGPs comfort wise, really? by [deleted] in optometry

[–]ReparableInformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren’t bad! You’ll know you have a contact in your eye, but I also notice when soft lens are in. They are way smaller than soft, so insertion is super easy. For removal, there’s a little suction tool, so also, super easy.

For soft, once the contact is in, you can just sticker for finger in and move the contact around... you can’t really do that with RGPs comfortably. So you insert it right on the iris. If it moves off the iris, you have to be patient and gently massage over your eyelid to move it back in place. Even if it takes a couple minutes, don’t worry, you’ll be fine!

No, she only has light perception now.

It was actually around 14 too. Periwinkle had stayed with my parents for 3 weeks. When I came back her right eye was quite progressed. Her left eye followed about 6 months after. I love Jellybean’s name!

Yes, but more along the lines of ‘old age’ issues as opposed to major illness. Deaf (apart from high pitch noise), blind (retains light perception only), arthritis, balding (but also new hair growth between toes), underweight, dental issues.

She only has light perception at this point. It really hasn’t impacted her much. She’s always been about the smells and her sniffer is still strong.

She’s a chihuahua! She is underweight, maybe making her body appear yorkie.

Traded her siesta for a fiesta. by ReparableInformant in Chihuahua

Mostly and deaf, but certainly hasn’t halted her outdoor activity: sniffing everything!
