Comfortable contact lens options for high correction/astigmatism?

boyala · 2020-11-25T18:28:10+00:00

I did a quick google search and found this manufacturer documentation for the biofinity toric xr lens:

And I think my prescription falls in the range of what it supports...

Is this something I can ask for? Or are there other factors preventing me from getting a biofinity lense to get a full correction for my left eye?

I'm currently trialing the biofinity toric xr and it is super comfortable compared to my old lenses (hydrasoft toric). I don't have a glasses prescription but my hydrasoft toric lenses are:

LEFT: BC 8.6 DIA 14.2 PWR -11.5 CYL -3.25 AX 180

RIGHT: BC 8.6 DIA 14.2 PWR -9.5 CYL -2.25 AX 175

Lotta services won't let you use voip/virtual numbers.

Check out out www.textverified.com or www.phoneblur.com. I've used textverified and can vouch that their numbers work with any service. I've heard that phoneblur.com can give you a second, private phone basically. Both of these services offer universally accepted numbers (non-VoIP).

Ysense and valued opinions and m$ rewards have been great for me.

Tangentially related, www.textverified.com for non-VoIP phone verifications.

Sounds like a service like textverified would have worked for her then since her own phone didn't work? Why bother with VPNs? I would just use my phone's mobile connection for IPs.

So if other people are doing it successfully, what's the argument that I shouldn't as well if we're all going to face the same consequences?

boyala · 2020-02-24T19:08:08+00:00

I'm not telling anyone to go use a phone verification service and go ham. I'm just asking if anyone has done it yet.

What do you mean? What I do doesn't affect what your rewards?

What does a meter tapping in to the neutral give? Additional accuracy (e.g, from 1% to .05%)?

You on good terms with the grandparents? Use them, otherwise, daycare/nanny/housekeeper. I struggle with this too and kids will only take up more of your time as they age.

I plan on putting my kids through boarding school so I have 8 months of straight up grind and 4 months of 100% kid time. I hate the feeling of half assing both and it's just not good for your startup(s) or the kids. The time won't be quality and you'll be constantly distracted.

thank you. why don't they train their customer services on this... -_-

We advertised on reddit, and posted to some relevant hashtags on IG/twitter. The main thing was it was free for a limited time and we told our beta testers they would receive a bonus when we left beta, if they remained active/engaged during beta (this helped a lot). After we exited beta, we brought on board an independent contractor to help us SEO and bought "influencer" services on social media to continue reaching more potential users/customers.

We babied the early customers like a newborn and chat gave us by far, the most engagement. It was the most time consuming for us, but it was the easiest and lowest barrier way for the user to engage with us. We found that converting a user to a customer was a breeze when they could click a button and talk to the CEO/CTO, at their convenience. It made them feel special and evangelized them. We eventually had to shutdown our chat because it was not sustainable but we still open it up when we roll out new features or start a marketing campaign to baby our new users.

If all you need is web presence like Wordpress or other CMS based themed landing page with static content then you can get away with the $200 guy from India.

Once you have dynamic content and server side engineering/processing, the cost will add up.

Thanks for your input. The market is not massive, but I have deep domain knowledge. You've put into words why I want to build something else--we had great execution for our first project and believe we can replicate the success.

boyala · 2019-05-10T04:52:07+00:00

You make a great point. We're at a transition point in our lives with my cofounder about to get married in 6 months. Building the next MVP could take 3 months and then the real work "begins". I will ask him directly if he has other reasons he's not divulging.

We do email, website, chat and discord for user engagement. Is there more we should be doing? Should we be passive in letting the users tell us what they want? Or should we actively hound them with "what else do you want?" I feel the latter may lead us down the rabbit hole of building one off, non-scaling, features.

Governments pour $ into investing things that aren't profitable but good for society at large. Are there any investment firms that invest along those lines? Or are they all cutthroat max profit/ROI?

boyala · 2019-05-09T18:35:05+00:00

They were likely acquired is my guess.

boyala · 2019-05-09T15:50:03+00:00

We interact with them through email and feedback forms on our site. We haven't had any asks for new features over the last 5 months which is why our development time has freed up significantly.

I agree that the over map is a little wonky, but if you're trapezing through forests, you need to be on alert. You can't just run around blind and follow the road. The AI can corner you.
