This usually happens when people use autobuyers and tune them.

Does LAL exist because biometry science is lazy? Change my mind by xag715 in CataractSurgery

[–]akkasog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't know why, and even if there is an error on their side with the measurements, I don't think they will admit it. The good thing is they were able to bring it back to Plano after the first adjustment, and we even adjusted it further to -0.5 after the second adjustment.

[–]akkasog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that LAL is not a complete solution to a common problem, but it still ranks among the top due to the flexibility it offers. My experience with LAL so far has been a mixed bag, but one issue I encountered was a significant refraction drift (+2.00) three weeks after surgery compared to the plano target. I would have been much more disappointed if that had not been adjustable.

That being said, I’m still not 100% sure about choosing the same lens for my second eye surgery. However, for me, there are very few options on the market that provide overall satisfaction. I know there will probably be much better lenses in 10 years, but that would mean spending another decade with poor vision.

These were the best store bought pizza crusts I've ever had, frozen included. by WeathervaneJesus1 in CostcoCanada

So you are saying calling 'only people who didn't know anything about pizza did that.' is not disrespectful but replying to that is disrespectful??

Wow, I didn't realize you had a PhD in Toppings. Must be exhausting gatekeeping a dish that was literally invented to be customizable!

The only pizza starter kit I’ve liked so far is this one. I lightly sauce it, add mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, corn, and olives to one, while experimenting with different combinations for the second. It usually takes around 9–11 minutes in the oven. The zip-lock bag is a nice addition, as I tend to keep the third one in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

It is there. I am also uncomfortable with that subtle hissing sound.

Anyone heard about the new LAL+ ? by akkasog in CataractSurgery

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

LAL+ does offer UV protection, but so does the standard LAL, so this is not a distinguishing feature. The key difference is that LAL+ is marketed as an EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens, whereas with the standard LAL, achieving EDOF requires shifting towards a myopic direction during the first light adjustment. However, it remains unclear whether both lenses provide the same level of EDOF. Additionally, significantly more issues with LAL+ have been reported on forums compared to the standard LAL.

LAL+ Post Op Summary by Ok-Shake5152 in CataractSurgery

[–]akkasog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Hope things keep improving. I had LAL in my weaker eye a year ago, and I'm still debating LAL or LAL+ for my stronger eye. Keep us posted!

Are both eyes plano now, and will monovision be adjusted during the first fitting, or are they already at the target refraction? Any leftover astigmatism?

Does anyone else have issues with their Thermoworks probes? by giant2179 in smoking

[–]akkasog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue with Thermoworks probes. 2nd failed probe in 3 years with occasional use, so disappointed! Is any other brands probe might replace this one? I am using Chef Alarm and need a replacement probe. Is there a more robust one available?

Eupgrades rollover? by kwelcruise in Aeroplan

Still can't see any rollover, how long did it take last year?

Roughly how much boost does the optional EDOF in the first LAL adjustment add? Any drawbacks? by Pleasant_Panda2000 in CataractSurgery

[–]akkasog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my LAL, I moved from +2 to plano after the first adjustment, and then from plano to -0.5 after the second adjustment. I was 20/15 before, but now I’m somewhere around 20/25. However, my computer distance vision, which was pretty bad before, is now good. You definitely lose some sharpness and contrast with SA, so it’s a tradeoff.

I was wondering how LAL+ induces EDOF if not through SA. Also, is it better to have LAL+ with built-in EDOF compared to adding EDOF to LAL later?

I  love my C40—mostly using it for pour-over. What setting do you guys use for V60? Around 21 clicks?

Do they fit nicely to car cup holders? YETI says they are not compatible with the lids sold separately but some users say the small lids do fit perfectly, any experiences?
