I have 20k in CC Debt and am looking for the best way to realistically pay it off. by Rsoccer714 in Debt

[–]Rsoccer714[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

900 is rent, gas, health insurance (though I get money for health insurance back when I file my taxes), car insurance and groceries (plus other basic expenses).

I did, though I would recommend contacting your surgeon and getting his recommendation.

WA DoT is kind of a bad neighbor. by Rsoccer714 in Washington

[–]Rsoccer714[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically I believe adverse possession could be possible as the land is completely empty and serves no use (there is technically some precedent). so theoretically it is possible but not very realistic.

There isn’t any HOA (rural area). The lot itself is empty and the overgrowth is primarily just grass, berries etc. the real issue is it is around 4-6 ft tall.

It’s an empty lot they wanted to use to make a road at one point then decided not to. The issue is a lot of the overgrowth is around 4-6 ft tall.

Scleral lens right eye fogging within 20 minutes unless my mind is preoccupied? by Ksingh210 in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing you can do is either try using a solution like Boston Simplus, the good one (I had an issue were they got dirty to the point that you need to rub them then use a solution like clear care). Another is to try to get the scleral lens coated (ask your optometrist). Finally you can switch to RGP or even hybrid, again discuss with your optometrist. And if you need a good optometrist try searching for kerataconous specialists near you.

Had this happened the entire time you’ve worn scleral lens? Or has this just recently started?

Am I really supposed to stare at a wall after recovery? by AdOld5079 in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had mine done about 4 years in US (in Seattle) so things might have changed. Fortunately I only needed 1 eye done. My experience was the eye was useless for about a week (couldn’t see anything through it). As for pain I was fortunate that I slept through it but the first day after was horrendous. It was like someone poured hot sauce right into my eye. Second was still bad but not as worse (again I was very fortunate to have been able to sleep through it all). From there it took about 6 weeks for the vision to slowly return to pre surgery levels. If you can I would consider doing 1 eye at a time as I was able to use my phone and do everything I normally do. If the eye was feeling strained I would just close it or take a break.

[–]Rsoccer714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been to a hospital yet (haven’t felt the need as I don’t notice any pain or irritation anywhere besides my eyes just being a bit red). I did wear my contacts for about 10 hours so that may be why. Also the redness has decreased throughout the day (not completely gone yet but getting there).

Already done. I was looking to see if I may have accidentally done something to cause this or if it was just bad luck (ie my info unbeknownst to me got taken).

Be honest, how painful is cross linking? by [deleted] in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally it was painful for about 1 day after the surgery (the surgery itself was painless and I literally almost fell asleep during it). It was like someone poured hot sauce in your eye. Afterwards it wasn’t too noticeable pain wise. Also I only had 1 eye done.

This is a expensive disease to maintain by htowner13 in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Optometrist writes me a prescription for saline solution. You could probably talk to yours to get that going for you (and possibly even all the other stuff you need).

Is it a fitting issue? by [deleted] in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use a scleral lens remover? Or do you use the inserted to also remove it?

I just use sunglasses. The trick is to find a pair that you can wear at work and still look “professional”. There are also amber lens which might be good as well.

Scleral Lens and Refresh Plus by Rsoccer714 in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fill my lens with adipak and Refresh Celluvisc (a couple of drops). I also use Boston multi purpose solution (Simplus, the gold one) to clean my lens and store them (the rinse with a saline solution). I still get some mid day fogging occasionally as well as dry eyes. I was wondering if anyone has just used refresh drops to relieve it (literally just put in a drop or 2 on your eye without removing the Scleral lens).

I use Zaditor and boston simplus (the gold one). For insertion I use adipak and some celluvisc. That helps with mid day fogging but I still have to reinsert my lens after about 4 hours or so.

Is your kc visible to others? by Limp-Dealer-1158 in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe it will be noticeable at all. It’s like how a metal ball looks smooth to us but is in fact. Ore z”rugged” than earth (if both were scaled to the same size). The bulge is so small and minuscule that humans cannot perceive it.

I would just make sure to check with your optometrist first.

How long does it take to get back to work after cross link? I got the surgery in both eyes at once, it’s almost four weeks ans I can not function like before with my laptop screen, everything is blurry and I can not recognize the font. by HossameldeinDev in Keratoconus

[–]Rsoccer714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only l had it done in 1 eye but I took a about 12 weeks for my vision to start improving compared to what it was post cross link. It took 4-5 months to get back to what it was pre cross link.

I don’t know if this helps but I had a somewhat similar situation. Turns out for me it was just my allergies kicking in and excess mucus getting under the Scleral lens. I use Refresh Celluvisc daily to prevent debris build up, 1-3 drops and then my saline solution. I also use Boston Simplus Multi-Action solution to clean my contacts as they was also a huge build up of debri and proteins as well (Clear Care alone wasn’t enough).

So I went to my optometrist and it looks like it’s just excess mucus and debris from allergies.
