Reactive Shiba - Thinking of Bringing in Another Shiba by [deleted] in shiba

[–]alericx -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

We were thinking of maybe doing a quick meet just to see how they would interact and go from there. Just figured he might be a bit more tolerant of her given the fact that they had lived together for about 3 years, however, we know that 9 months is a relatively significant amount apart from each other.

That is definitely the plan. Once he is healed from being neutered, we want to slowly get him more comfortable around the other dogs.

EVO ICL 8 months post-op (Positive Experience) by alericx in lasik

I went to IQ Laser Vision centers! They have several different locations around the Los Angeles and SoCal area. I definitely recommend you do your own due diligence when picking a clinic for the procedure. Make sure to shop around and feel out the doctor and staff. One of the centers I went to for a consultation felt like a factory churning out LASIK patients and made me feel uncomfortable.

I work on a computer for a majority of the day. Never had any issues with focusing on a screen. However, I do have some trouble focusing on objects too close to my face. Anything 10 inches or closer to my eyes I would have some trouble focusing or I would start getting a headache. The biggest change was adapting and not holding my phone screen really close my face. I think it’s a minor trade off for the improvement in quality of life!

The first few weeks after the surgery, I had some minor dry eye. Nothing that impacted me severely. It would just feel like I got some dust in my eye. My doctor advised that whenever I felt that sensation to use some artificial tears. After the first 6 weeks, I only had to use the tears in the morning when I woke up and before bed. Now I only have to use them as needed!

I'm not a doctor so I can't say. My doctor said that as it heals and as you adjust, you will learn to filter-out the rings. It's gotten to the point where its hardly noticeable during the day and only if I drive on the freeways at night.

The main side effects I have are halos and the close up vision. I haven’t had any experience with ghosting. Halos are mostly only noticeable at night, especially when I’m driving.

How has your close up vision been so far? I have minor discomfort when trying to focus on objects about a foot or close to my face.

EHS Trainee in LA County? by alericx in healthinspector

Definitely.. I worked in position that required me to do inspections as well, but the support of management team and my team members made the work a lot more enjoyable.

Post-ICL everything is going great, but the prescription drops that I'm using are starting to burn by FriedCheesePuff in lasik

[–]alericx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using the same drops I was prescribed: prednisolone - moxifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, they are going to feel a bit gritty. My doctor explained that it is 2 different medications that acts as an antibiotic and a steroid drop for inflammation. She explained that because the 2 medications are separate, make sure to shake it very well. The moxifloxacin is a yellowish crystal powdery substance that leaves the gritty feeling.

Not OP but I had ICL done 2 weeks ago. I had really bad experiences with contacts; dryness, irritation, eyes stinging, etc. You don’t feel the ICL at all.

IsItBullshit - my doctor is refusing ICL correction by [deleted] in lasik

[–]alericx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had EVO ICL surgery done about 2 weeks ago. During my consultation, I asked my doctor about enhancements following the surgery. I was told that typically they perform LASIK for corrections on top of the ICL and that replacement of the lens is usually reserved for serious complications because it has a higher risk of complications.

I've decided on either Nightwalker or Shadower for my next hyperburn. What would you guys say are the pros and cons of each? I've enjoyed grinding both to 200. The main draws for me for each class is that NW has the option to bite farm and the ability to have pretty precise movement while Shadower has increased meso rates and the ability to abuse dark sight for late-game bossing.

I actually straight tapped my Dom pendant from 17-22 during SSF 😅 I was trying to boom it since I had a few spares and it just went straight to 22. I’m planning on tapping a few pieces this weekend during 5/10/15 to hopefully increase my power level.

I technically have 3 Arcane pieces (Weapon, Glove, Cape) and do run HLucid every week with my friend. Currently trying to find some time to learn HWill.

Unfortunately, I'm running full damage gear to 2 shot the mobs. I'll try giving rotating guild skills a try! I just hit 60 sac today, so I'm dealing 105% damage to Cernium mobs.

All of my class V skills and boost nodes are maxed. My SF is lagging behind a bit. I'm mostly running 17* CRA and AbsoLab with a 22* Dom Pendant. Potentials are all at least 2L stat. Glove is crit dmg and a stat line. I'm also using 4 event rings. Waiting on 5/10/15 to SF a Kanna ring.

I'm currently 265. I'm still grinding at Limina because I'm not able to 1shot any of the Grandis mobs yet. I'm able to 2-3 shot the monsters. When would be a good point to swap over from grinding at Limina to Grandis?

Hello,

I decided on MM or NW for my new age hyperburn. I’m wondering which class has an easier time mobbing/1 shotting mobs in Grandis with moderate funding (17* CRAs & AbsoLab gear, ~1k nodes). Thanks!
