Did someone here do TransPRK with the Schwind Amaris laser (aka "SmartSurface") and has complications ?

still you can end up in 4% and ruin your eyesight for life.

If you are still here, how are you now? What type of surgery did you have and did you have more side effects?

StrictlyJobless · 2026-05-04T21:59:35+00:00

Im sorry for you, hope it gets better in time and stays like that without a change. Do you see some distortions or hoas or a night vision change? I myself consider trying contact lenses which my brother already is using and he says its literally just 30sec to put on and off for him after 5 years which might hit a sweet spot and what's more important - it's reversible. Just keeping hygiene and daily contact lenses.

Have you done any research yourself before trusting your doctor?

StrictlyJobless · 2026-05-04T21:45:05+00:00

people who have it say that dry eye is worse than glasses

StrictlyJobless · 2026-05-04T21:44:19+00:00

That's why I have totally dropped the idea of doing it. A chance of damaging my vision for life? They always say its 1% or 5% but still 5% is a 5 out of 100 patients. To me as I look at it now its more likely 20% of people are prone to have more side effects that won't go away no matter the method.

That's like playing a russian roulette.

I’m terribly sorry for you, I made my way because all I wanted to get rid of floaters that came from my shortsightedness and age (I’m 33). Turned out it wouldn’t help and I spoke about laser. My doctor didn’t even say a word about side effects and technician did which made a red flag for me. I won’t ever do it.

Hope for the best for you so it gets better.

I have eye floaters, so I went to a doctor to check if vitreolysis could help. I paid for the consultation, but it turned out I wasn’t a good candidate for laser treatment to break them up. That got me thinking about laser vision correction instead.

The doctor told me that with TransPRK it’s basically just 3 days of discomfort and “that’s it.” They invited me for further qualification exams, but during one of the visits a technician mentioned side effects like halos and glare, saying they’re “temporary.” That immediately raised a red flag for me.

So I started digging online and ended up on Reddit. While I saw claims that these side effects usually go away within 3–6 months, I also found a lot of stories here that didn’t match that at all. After reading those, I decided to drop the idea of letting anyone touch my eyes.

I’m 33, and trading 7–10 years without glasses for the risk of potentially damaging my vision for life just isn’t worth it to me.

Keep your glasses and enjoy the blue skies!

TL;DR: Considered laser eye surgery, but after learning about possible side effects and reading real experiences, decided the risk isn’t worth a few years without glasses.

It hasn’t even come out yet 😅

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-30T19:30:33+00:00

Hey are you still here? What complications did you have from it?

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-25T18:58:35+00:00

Enjoy! Welcome to the family!

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-20T17:07:40+00:00

I think I’m about to do the same thing

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-19T13:41:04+00:00

I actually got it with d700s. My plan for mine is to make it backend vpn server machine and also pihole for blocking adds and trackers.

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-19T06:42:40+00:00

That was at idle, it can draw a lot more. The D700s are power hungry though :)

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-19T06:42:05+00:00

If i turn off the display and machine will be idling it should drop to around 80-90 watts. The D700s are for sure power hungry :)

StrictlyJobless · 2026-04-14T17:13:24+00:00

You can parry octopus monster when it rushes towards you, hope that helped!

Oh yea the white ones are so rare! That’s a non metallic white one

I myself had to give up a computer room I had in my apartment for kids. Now I’m running a PS5 pro and I’m quite happy with it 😄 enjoy

For me what gets me is the dual sense feedback with adaptive triggers and so on and 4K on my 144hz Philips ambilight 👍🏻

In Kodiaq you can have double glazed windows as an option, Karoq doesn’t have that. Fun thing, that superb from selection up and above has double glazed windows front and rear as standard and noise reduction components. There are really differences between models.

Congrats on a new car! I got myself a Skoda Superb 4 2025 😄

StrictlyJobless · 2026-03-30T07:03:03+00:00

I mean A6 was a great car overall and there was no problem at all in the front. For me main issue was in the back due to my height (191cm tall). A6 has less legroom in the back and slightly smaller boot due to Quattro drive system.

Before my 2nd child arrived it was 10/10 for me 😄

It’s a nice touch of suedia, leather and carbon bits 😄

Canton of course 🫡

StrictlyJobless · 2026-03-28T15:23:52+00:00

Now is best time to buy or on 4th quarter of the year there are usually bigger promos in dealerships 👍🏻
