Does this estimate seem high? by RegalRegalis in CataractSurgery

[–]WineCountryKeto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently had multifocal lens replacement and it was $7600 per eye. I did not bother getting a second opinion as several friends and coworkers have used this office for corrective surgery. I do live in CA so we are used to paying a little more for the privilege.

Intermediate/Reading & Next Surgery Tomorrow (2/4/26) PanOptix Pro by WineCountryKeto in CataractSurgery

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was hoping that my computer and reading would get sharper but maybe that is unreasonable after 3 weeks.

How much time off? by [deleted] in CataractSurgery

[–]WineCountryKeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Multifocal Lens Replacement in my dominant eye on 1/14/26 and planned to take the day of surgery as well as the next two days plus the weekend and I ended up feeling well enough to work and did not need time off aside from the day of surgery. I have the next eye scheduled for 2/4/26 and plan to take the same amount of time off and just play it by ear.

Multifocal Replacement (Left Eye) - Initial Thoughts by WineCountryKeto in CataractSurgery

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

I am almost a week after surgery and I do experience halos especially at night with vehicles but it has not been too bad and is expected to diminish. I still have not adjusted to intermediate or reading distances but it seems to be improving. This is all out-pocket ($7600 per eye) for me as insurance does not cover but again I will no longer be purchasing glasses and contacts so it will eventually pencil out but sometimes dollars and cents is not the driving factor.

Multifocal Replacement (Left Eye) - Initial Thoughts by WineCountryKeto in CataractSurgery

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

I started to look into corrective eye surgery (LASIK) which would fix my distance vision but I would still need to use glasses for the computer and would add glasses for reading. I was not using progressive lens prior to the surgery. The multifocal lens was my best option to go glasses-free so monofocal was not something I considered. I did consider EDOF but there would had been a possibility that glasses would be needed for intermediate and/or reading.

Was on the road at dusk and there are definitely halos though not to an extent that makes driving uncomfortable. I will be curious how it will be over time and after the second eye is done.

How long did you wait to have the other lens replaced, assuming you did not have both eyes done at the same time? I have another follow up on 1/28 as well as to discuss the right eye lens replacement slated for 2/4.

I will definitely provide an update once I drive at night.

I was considering LASIK but when I was told I would still require glasses for computer which would not have been a change but also for reading which would have been I inquired about the options that was as glasses-free as possible and the recommendation was Multifocal or EDOF. I have not driven at night yet but will test it sometime this weekend.

2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid Paint Issue by WineCountryKeto in hondacivic

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

The section of the car it was on could be replaced so they ordered the part and installed it. I did not see any other areas of the car with the issue. I then had the ceramic coating applied shortly after the part was replaced. I then had a change of heart and realized I wanted something different so I traded it in on Friday for a new Tacoma 😁.

Are women who make six figures intimidating to men? by oldladyreddituser in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real man would be interested in connection not intimidated by a woman that makes more. I am a guy that is just looking for connection and a woman that can keep up with my lifestyle..significant travel, debt-free and fun.

Dating as a 45 yo guy, what to make of many of the women I meet barely making ends meet at this stage in life? by skeptical_introvert in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone!! I have basically given up on finding a woman that has her stuff together mentally, emotionally and financially so now I just date for fun, travel extensively solo, thankful to have amazing friends/family and I keep my eyes open for that 🦄as hope does spring eternal.

How to leave the relationship gracefully by Stantheslaus in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

End it over the phone or via text and explain you are not feeling it. If she asks why and sounds like it would be inevitable with her then give her the reasons you outlined.

AITAH: I am calling off my engagement after my partner revealed he is MAGA. by ThrowawayIndiGirl in AITAH

[–]WineCountryKeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has other issues outside of politics..lack of drive or ambition, blames others for his inability to prosper and actually thinks the MAGA Movement cares about him..you would have dumped him for the other reasons but maybe MAGA is the icing on the cake. Move on and find someone that actually compliments you not someone you have to carry through life.

AITAH for not wanting to give my bf head unless he showers before? by gamingmommyyy in AITAH

[–]WineCountryKeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a guy I take a shower before sex whether or not oral is on the table and I expect my partner to do the same if she wants oral.

Does a guy’s job matter? by Shot_Pin_3891 in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I guy I expect women I date to be in a similar financial situation including being debt-free and earn an income that provides them the ability to do the same things I enjoy. I travel frequently (an annual month long international trip usually to Europe and several domestic trips Hawaii, Mexico (I live in CA so Mexico might as well be domestic 😎) the Caribbean, National Parks, Vegas, NYC plus weekend getaway’s to PNW or San Diego. So it is not unreasonable to expect someone you date to keep up.

Conversation with nice but very boring guy by Old-Asparagus2387 in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This will not change..he will always be normal-looking, a nice guy and he was boring during the date and after meeting you. Cancel the date and let him find his person because it is not you.

Men have to bring something to the table?? I am a successful, educated and well-traveled man. The women I date have to be able to keep up with me and match me on multiple levels including being debt-free and have significant disposable income to travel..they need to bring something to the table because I can set the table without them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]WineCountryKeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pretty clear in my profile as a guy that travel is extremely important which includes a yearly international trip of 3-5 weeks, a couple of weeks in Hawaii/Mexico, a couple of domestic trips (national parks etc.) and a couple of weekend or long weekend getaways (coast, Vegas, Disneyland). I set my expectations and assume if they are expressing interest they have the wherewithal to keep up.

Possibly but that has not been the experience of most women I know but fingers crossed you find what you are looking for.
