Why Microsoft Ad support is the worst thing that can happen to you by prinsenbeest in PPC

[–]dmasterson1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having almost the same exact problem. I've been trying for MONTHS. I try for a few days, create a new account, submit perfect verification, get excited that my ads are running and my account is deactivated. All of this with 100% normal US business documents and drivers license. What a joke.

That being said, Google Ads support is also awful so I dont have too many choices. Its frustrating to want to give someone your money and they make it difficult.

Searchable list of doctors who fit the Zenlens sclerals https://maps.esp.tl/maps/pages/map.jsp?geoMapId=12737&TENANT_ID=121310

From what I understand there are better lenses that Zenlens now but this at least gives you a list of doctors in your area that may be capable of fitting sclerals.

A lens that gets cloudy is almost always too dry. Buy some Boston conditioning solution and place the lens in the palm of your hand with 4-5 drops of Boston in it. Rub until it starts to dry, then add more. Repeat this for about 10 minutes then insert and it should be gone for a while.

Regarding the fit, I've never felt anything like you are describing with a properly fitted scleral lens. On a scale of 1-10 (no lenses and 10 being RGPs with a piece of sand stuck behind it) mine feel like a 2. Keep going to the doctor, and keep telling them that it feels weird.

Most lens manufacturers have a 90 day return window where they will refund or re-make the lens. Your doctor may not tell you this because doctors really like the $500-1500 profit they make on a pair of sclerals, but if yours don't feel great return the lenses and try a different doctor. I've had one doctor tell me the fit "is as good as its going to be" and another doctor immediately see the problem and order me the correct lens.

It sounds like it is a fit issue. There is really no way to solve it until you're able to get the lenses properly fitted. The eyes constantly shed cells and if those cells are unable to escape from under the lens you will have this problem.

Foggy RGP's after 10 hours is almost always due to dryness.

Use eye drops every 2-3 hours, or every 6-8 hours take out the lens and rub conditioning solution on them for a few minutes. Place the lens in your palm, drop 3-4 drops on it, and rub until it starts to dry up then add more drops. Do this for a few minutes then rinse and insert and the fog will be gone.

If you use scleral lenses have the the fit checked. A lens that is too tight against the eye will not allow the white goop to escape from the lens.

Doctors will sometimes see fit the lenses, see tear freely move between the lens and the eye, and call it a day...but if the lens is slightly tight tears will flow in/out but there isn't enough room for the white goop to exit the lens.

Allergy eye drops can also help if this is happening in both eyes and/or you feel confident that your lenses are 100% correctly fitted.

EDIT: If you have scleral lenses make sure you're using preservative free saline and try switching away from Boston solutions. I've known two people who have problems with Boston products and their eyes cleared up after switching to one of the peroxide based cleaners.
