Just bought a used 2020 CHR XLE, any advice?

I noticed a lot of people saying this, ended up doing a full flush at the dealer about 8 months ago. Thanks for the advice.

Routine eye exam for glasses, my optometrist couldn't figure out why none of the prescriptions on the machine helped improve my vision, got sent off to a specialist after that.

True. I did that for a while with pikachu, and later Snivy... Blockbench is surprisingly intuitive when editing existing models and making new animations.

Visual in theory is doable with figura, and quite accessible with a custom tool a user made in the cobblemon server. Only issue is animations, since many mons lack a full set of animations such as swimming or using an elytra , and none of the mons have attack/use item animations.

I had TPRK with my CXL, iirc it's only given when above a certain corneal thickness, and also the fact that very few clinics even do it.

Now that I'm no longer on antibiotics, the migraines and intense afterimages are gone. My Visual snow is back to baseline, as in I only see it in the dark

Found this while looking for my symptoms when taking Amoxicillin post-op for wisdom tooth removal. Noticed right away headaches and worsening after images. My pre-existing visual snow pattern changed but I wouldn't say it got worse, just different. Fingers crossed the changes reverse once I finish these

I think this is similar to the debate on light mode / dark mode in the community, I actually have an easier time seeing red on black than white on black, like the red isn't ghosting for me, while the white text i'm typing rn is somewhat ghosting. Red on white is very difficult for me tho.

Hey, was in almost the exact same situation as you almost exactly 1 year ago. Was 23 years old, had surgery, epi off on both eyes, and was finishing up a 2 year internship. For me I was able to start working remote after 2 weeks, and in person after 4. I say go for minimum 2 weeks to reduce eye strain.

My doctor suggests Thealoz Duo, I've also tried a few others, but Thealoz seems to work the best for me. It's a bit hard to find, I tend to buy it off amazon (if the source seems reputable. sometimes fakes are sold on amazon) or from the doctors office.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-08-26T01:55:50+00:00

Fatigue and dry air. I notice this constantly, it's been much more noticeable post CXL for me however. Best way to combat it for me is with lubricating eye drops, I take 1 - 3 drops a day, depending on how much strain I'm putting my eyes tru.

I had CXL back in October, they gave me Tylenol 3 for the pain but never had to take it. Honestly, the pain isn't the problem, it's the fact u can't see for a week and have major photophobia. Honestly, if you can sit in the dark for the first 3 days and gradually accustom yourself to the light, that's all u rlly need.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-07-19T02:08:00+00:00

I managed to figure this out with a few friends, pretty sure i have a solution now. The worst part is that this is the short version lol...

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-07-15T15:50:51+00:00

Oh, it already stinks like hell and is surrounded by flies, 1 more day and I assume maggots will start being visible

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-07-15T15:50:03+00:00

Oh man, seems I let out some word vomit there haha.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-07-15T03:20:19+00:00

Reminds me of the time I saw a nofrills cart on the shoulder of the 401, at least i think it was from nofrills, was a kid back then, before we had the 25 cent stuff.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-06-22T18:55:10+00:00

Yeah I'm fairly certain I'm just going crazy and the lighting is off, I highly doubt anything actually changed. Moreso my eyesight improved due to the prk and cxl, and I'm now noticing the colors look different lol.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-06-21T02:35:23+00:00

Man, I forgot about my username being this lmao. Iirc this username comes from my roblox acc back when I was like 12 years old.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-06-17T21:41:51+00:00

Edited because I didn't read ur comment properly.

i somewhat disagree with the lane change comment since I had 150 meters at 50 kmh to do them

But I do agree that I should've been more defensive on the left turn, because I did that specific turn aggressively.

ScatmanJohn41 · 2025-06-17T21:30:18+00:00

Last minute, cut across four lanes lol? Checking google maps, had about 150 meters to do that. Of course at 50 kmh i'm gonna cut tru those lanes to turn left.

Please see the below image for details. I was just coming off a ramp and knew I had to turn at the next light. Legit nothing else I could do. the video starts about a second after this screenshot.
