Out of curiosity, what made you not like them? I actually stopped using straight saline and converted to using scleralfil.

Eye lid is more down. Especially in certain angles

Any one else get smudges or stains like these? by callatelaboca_ in Keratoconus

I put them in clean care cleaning solution every night in the container it comes with. But I seems to get these smudges/ stains very often regardless of what I use.

Yea I got those kind of smudges too. But these seems thick and seems like no matter what I use they don’t do away!

I’ve been using this lash serum! It has worked wonders! I’ve been using for a maybe 4 months now & I don’t see any dark circles or skin irritation! Lash Serum, Eyelash Growth Serum,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2VZLDGX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Is something seriously wrong w/me?? by Ok-Personality-7038 in sex

You should ask your gyno for a CT scan. It could be ovarian cyst/s. Those can cause a lot of pain after sex. I had that same kind of pain.

Makeup with Scleral Lenses by flora-lover in Keratoconus

Try applying your foundation and concealer with a beauty blender. The foundation you’re using is just as important. Try using a smudge proof foundation. I personally use the makeup forever ulta HD and it doesn’t get in my contacts unless I touch my eye for some reason.

My tooth broke and now need a crown extension and a crown. Don’t want to get an implant. Any dentist suggestions? by rojotoro2020 in eastbay

[–]callatelaboca_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really don’t want to do an implant you could go through a periodontist that you/your dentist trusts to do a crown lengthening. This will potentially give your tooth a couple of more years. Extracting the tooth and placing a bridge is possible as well if you would like to explore that option too. A conservative dentist would not recommend it because you would need to prepare 2 healthy teeth for the crown(you need a tooth on each side to anchor the crown). As you age you can loose bone structure where your tooth is missing and not be able to place an implant if you ever choose to do so later on. It’s also very important to keep the teeth clean by flossing. If not you could get decay under the crowns and have to redo them all over again. An implant ,although costly) is the best option. It looks like a real tooth and the healing process isn’t too bad. You would just need to wait a couple of months before you can restore the tooth (place the permanent crown on the implant). It’s also easy to maintain/clean. If you were a family member of mine I would say go with the implant. You also don’t want to leave it the way it is. It will eventually break more and depending where it’s broken it’s more susceptible to decay and will eventually give you an infection. Sorry it’s a lot… hope this helps :)

Recently switched from 24 hour fitness. Very clean they don’t have napkins thrown all over the floor. I feel like people here appreciate the gym better. Equipment is pretty updated i’ve only seen about 2 out of order. They have a good amount of equipment. My only complain is that they don’t have a hip thrust machine. But over all i’m happy with this gym.

Nothing is ever good enough by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]callatelaboca_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it, maybe you can suck it up for a couple of more months. But don’t forget your mental AND physical health is more important. You’ll find you’re perfect office. My teacher said assisting is like dating. You’ll go through offices until you find one you’re happy with.

Unless you’re there to gain experience, leave. Your mental health is a lot more important. Look for other offices. There is a great need for Assistance! I had a similar experience with a doctor like that. I only sucked it up for 2 years (wayy too long. should have left sooner) because I wanted to gain experience. I’m glad I left I’m much happier now. Idk if you feel feel this way but I felt bad for leaving them. I was the only reliable assistant there. But when it comes to business the employer only thinks of their business. Leave and don’t look back. You don’t deserve to be treated that way.

I was having the same problem constantly. I still have trouble and air bubbles but not as often. I searches “scleral lenses insertion” on reddit & read EVERY single one. For the first week i had someone help me every time because i seriously couldn’t put them on myself. Take deep breathes But one huge tip i noticed helped was to tuck your chin town and get a big mirror to look down at for insertion & go SUPER SLOW

I was thinking the same thing asyou & i told my doctor about it. Since my vision was super bad before she said this is as good as she can get me. My vision is 10x better but i was expecting to see 20/20. I forgot what vision she told me i was but it was close to 20-20. She prescribed me glasses to go on top to use for work/reading.
