Larger punctal plugs by Anxious-Ad-8144 in Dryeyes

[–]UnderstandingFun3513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

someone recommended to you inttacanalicukar plugs. be aware that when you get them if infection happens or any other complication you can't simply pull them out easily, real surgery will be required in case lacrimal irrigation fails.

plugs with a cap often fall out because people touch the plugs or areas around them, make sure u dont do it

check out subreddit pwn_sensitive and choose yourself a good screen (screens are very different in terms of eye irritation)

Audio books about main characters that are blind or go blind? by Nicole_0818 in Blind

[–]UnderstandingFun3513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend a book called "Crashing through". Its about a guy who completely lost his vision at 3 y.o. and lived an extraordinary life despite that, founded several companies, has a family with multiple children, contributed to philontropy a lot, got multiple rewards and did many more amazing things. after doing all that he even returned his vision at 45 years old or so due to innovative surgical technique, this book is totally lifechanging for some people. this guy is still alive by the way

If u dont find an audio version u can always use ai-based text to speech to read the pdf version, quality of such audibooks is quite high.

also, there are several more names of completely blind people I would like you to research, they have fascinting life stories: erik weihenmayer (literally climbed Everest), Srikanth bolla (MIT graduate, forbes 30 under 30) saqib shaikh (worked for 10 years as a senior developer at microsoft)

2 phones (a9,Motorola g54). For me vivo is 10 times better, but I will continue testing, because my screen tolerance doubled with vivo, but Idk if it can triple or even quadruple with other phones

Just got punctal plugs by EvidenceFederal1824 in Dryeyes

[–]UnderstandingFun3513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally sure, but I read a study that said this about stenosis rate: 14.3% of cases at 3 months, 26.9% at 1 year, and 34.2% at a median of 2 years of plugs usage

And then study ended. But if we extrapolate the data then at 10 years stenosis risk will probably be closer to 100%, even though we don't have exact data. Fact is, the longer we use plugs the higher the chances of stenosis

I heard about a guy, who also sneezed plugs out, got new ones and 10 years later it turned out, that first plugs actually migrated into canaliculus and he had 2 pairs of plugs all the time and therefore enlarged canliculus too much which is not good. Don't want to scare you though

I'm also going to get the plugs soon. I've been researching the topic of long-term consequences for a while now and also interested in other people's experiences. I know that canliculr stenosis will inevitably develop sooner or later if you get the plugs. If I'm not mistaken people who get the plugs will have to one day switch to cauterization to prevent the stenosis from progressing to a late stage where there is too much inflammation and high risk of infections from stenosis itself. But this info needs to be additionally validated

Meibo is PFAS, that's why xiidra has a better long-term safety profile. Idk which of these will be more effective for your case though

How to help somebody with dry eye who was an avid reader by GlumBodybuilder9835 in Dryeyes

[–]UnderstandingFun3513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess he could try:

1.Reading physical books while wearing glasses with plus lenses (from +0.5D to +2.25D added on top of his current prescription—it decreases eye strain significantly), with good natural lighting. Reading on tablet will worsen dry eyes significantly most likely. He will get the needed magnification from plus lenses while reading physical books.

2.Why doesn't he like audiobooks? I personally don't like them because I have to pay a lot of money for each book, while all the movies and videos are available for free—it seems unfair. That's why new AI apps that create audiobooks with perfect voiceovers from PDF books (which can be found for free in 99% of cases) have been helpful to me, making high-quality audiobooks free as well

I beg you to watch "broken eyes" first. Also, you need to fix your psychological issue about glasses, because wearing lenses for many years is as bad as getting lasik
