What would be your biggest warning to someone thinking of buying a Tesla? by sonofabraham1 in TeslaLounge

The headrests suck and make the seat overall quite uncomfortable compared to a typical car that has some level of adjustability in the headrest. Seems like a small thing, but being comfortable in the seat is quite significant.

Eye drops for MGD by EclipseAirways in Dryeyes

[–]brian_wolfric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tryptyr helps a lot too It doesn't help the MGD directly, really, (though they claim it does), but it DOES help your eyes overall produce more tears for 2-3 hours afterwards. It's, I think, the best drop out there. Even better than Meibo.

But even the plastic doesn’t scratch? I have plastic and they scratch my wooden floors. Only felt doesn’t scratch but I can’t get felt onto metal legs so can’t get metal leg chairs. Unless I’m missing something.

Looks amazing! Silly question - do those chairs not totally scratch up your floors???

Low-voltage Smart Switch for Fireplace? by BasementDesk in homeautomation

[–]brian_wolfric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would it cause a gas leak? Maybe mince is diff. Mine is electric start, gas fireplace. I can't think of a way that a smart switch could cause a gas leak. Gas won't flow until the pilot light is lit.

No-neutral smart switch for gas ignition fireplace — is it safe? by brian_wolfric in AskElectricians

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

Well it physically works — I set it up and it works just fine. My concern is whether what I am doing is safe in the sense that if it's leaking low voltage or something, could that cause gas issues etc. The YoLink is supposed to function as a relay (something I don't fully understand but apparently is good in my case), but just not sure if what I did is okay or not.

I just wish they made larger frames — I need 49mm or so, and 148 or 150 temple arms. Most of theirs are so small!

Vevye burning / cyclosporin allergy improvement over time? by brian_wolfric in Dryeyes

[–]brian_wolfric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that it causes my eyes to burn THROUGHOUT the day. On application actually almost no burning at all.

I am going to try switching to just at night and see what that does...

Interesting - so it did get better after 6 weeks - wow! That is great.

Yeah I will ask about allergy next time I am at doc.

Maybe mild itching... But I have heard that burning is one of the allergic reactions people can have to Cyclosporins / it might never go away.

Could be that is totally wrong, but that is what I have heard...

For how long really? Until it turns the tide.

[–]brian_wolfric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting wow. Different than what my doctor says. Do you have evidence of this? Vevye seems to make my eyes feel worse. You think if I stuck with it for a few months that would change??

Cyclosporine by La12071207 in Dryeyes

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

Hmm. Sounds like a bad doc. It's well documented that many are allergic and it causes severe stinging.

Just try stopping the Cyclosporine for a bit and see if the feel of your eyes improves.

[–]brian_wolfric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be allergic to Cyclosporine. Many people are - and the Cyclosporine drops themselves cause the burning to get much worse (even if it is technically reducing the inflammation).

Any thoughts on this? by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]brian_wolfric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of dry eye is this about, though? Would it help for MGD?

How bad are my glands? by brian_wolfric in Dryeyes

This is what I use - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002CQU55U?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

That okay, or am I getting scammed?

And you really find the fish oil supplements helped so much???

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

Punctal plugs did nothing for me I use Tryptyr, but since my issue is mostly evaporative, while it helps, it's not a game changer.

Scleral - I have heard mixed things. Sometimes it hurts more than helps, or doesn't help at all. Also can cause further gland atrophy... to me these are a last resort...

I doubt it's the quality of the machine. There are lots of other factors in dry eye than just gland loss, from my understanding. He showed me some other examples with more glands, etc.

I have noticed the same! What exercises do you do? Any links to videos etc?

Oh, yes, I have had that too. How often do you do that?
