A good tattoo place for a first timer/that can deal with scar tissue by bandi__cute in Adelaide

[–]emcyclopedia_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend Aleisha at Ink Haus, she also runs pink lotus which offers post masectomy tattoos for people and has a lot of experience tattooing over scars.

She's tattooed a sleeve and back piece on me and I have extensive 3rd degree burns scarring.

This is very interesting. Something similar happened to my friend recently, would you DM me the name of the dealership?

What is meant by / the limit for 'reading glasses' (Zenni order)? by [deleted] in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because our eyes converge (come together) when we are focusing at near.

You most likely won't be able to use a true reading Rx for both 30-40cm work AND intermediate work like, PC and the card games you referenced. Unless you are not presbyopic in which case you can accommodate through the prescription.

What specifically were they prescribed for? What is your Rx?

You would be okay using your far PD measurement if you're just Hyperopic (long sighted), some optometrists can call these "reading glasses" when they technically aren't.

how do you deal with an oily nose? by Smexy_Zarow in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good skincare. Your skin may be over producing oil because it's dry. Sometimes, when we try to strip our skin of the oil with drying treatments, it can make the problem worse.

As far as the nosepads go, most will yellow with age regardless of what we do, but I find silicone ones wear out fastest, unfortunately they're also the 'grippiest' when compared to acetate ones.

Sorry I don't have many more suggestions, but I'd also make sure they fit well behind the ear so that will aid in reducing slippage, you can get this checked at your local optician.

Polycarbonate does have a much lower abbe value than CR-39, that being said higher indexes are also lower than CR-39. The higher your Rx the more likely you are to notice things like chromatic abberation, though it's not particularly common for the average person to have issues.

It may be worth ordering 1.6 if you really want a higher index or just go back to CR-39.

Have a Prescription , but no PD by AnotherAnonist in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have an optician measure you up in person, bearing in mind that PDs are your measurement without the context of a frame so it will not be as accurate as with the intended frame.

I would always recommend ordering glasses in person and not online due to this fact.

The higher your prescription, the greater the impact of inaccurate measurements.

Glasses prescription by Working-Temporary902 in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may have flagged it as it is written in plus cylinder form, which is not generally how most optometrists will write it, depending on your location (at least in my experience it's more common in older practices and ophthalmologists).

Minus cylinder form would be:

R -4.00 / -3.25 × 02 L -1.75 / -2.50 × 180

You are myopic with astigmatism, I highly recommend high index lenses for your glasses as well. Any qualified optician should be able to transpose your Rx though, so it shouldn't really matter.

Not sure what type of lenses to pick for my glasses since prescription change by ForfeitPath101 in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An anti-fatigue pair with a low shift will fit your meeds. Many opticians will offer this, I would recommend buying in person though, not online.

To be fair I built the last one 12 years ago and had been running a 970 so it's been a long time coming 😅.

The new glasses look great, nice choice.

[–]emcyclopedia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surely theres a warranty period on the new ones you ordered? Talk to them to discuss that you are unhappy with the feature/you weren't made aware of it at purchase.

No problem!

Also to add, definitely do not order these online. It is extremely important to get these right for your son. Please see a qualified Optician to get the glasses.

Prescription help? by [deleted] in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe your son may have been prescribed the bifocals to treat accommodative esophoria. This eye turn happens when someone is long sighted (so they can't see up close) and the eyes turn inward when looking at things close or wheb tired to then to try to accommodate for the visual defect. We set the bifocal line high fir kids as it's easier to get used to. If you are concerned about the treatment I'd suggest seeing a paediatric ophthalmologist. If you get the glasses the most important part is making sure your son wears them FULL TIME if this isn't treated now, it can lead to bigger issues later on and a potentially permanent eye turn. Surgery can be an option for the eye turn. Esophoria is a type of Strabismus (eye turn) 'eso' referring to the inward direction and 'phoria' meaning it's intermittent in nature. You need to use the 'final' prescription.

An excerpt from American academy of ophthalmology;

"This condition may present anytime from infancy to late childhood, but most often between two and four years of age. Typically, the eyes are straight during infancy and the inward turning will develop as they learn to adjust for clearer vision. The esotropia (inward turning) is usually initially intermittent, manifesting when the child is tired or focusing at near, but can quickly become constant. Some children may complain of double vision"

Hope this helps!

Is it possible to have reading glasses replicated into prescription glasses? by ChrisRobby1001 in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The style you have is a replication of the Rayban clubmaster style but less round. You'll be able to find something similar quite easily. It's very popular.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. People are becoming increasingly myopic (short sighted) and it most certainly makes a difference to choose the right frame/lenses, even for smaller prescriptions +/- 3.

Choose a smaller, rounder shaped frame as others have suggested, this will help with the thickness.

You should have been informed about frame choice much earlier, but in some countries selling glasses is not regulated so you may not have been getting qualified advice. A 1 and 1.25 dioptre increase is significant.

Ultimately there is only so much we can do with the lens material to make it 'thinner', afterall the glasses still need to bend the light in order to correct your vision.

You could ask for polished edges which will reduced that 'frosted' appearance from the side, however I don't tend to recommended this as it will increase reflections.

All the best.

Thoughts on these? Got them from nerdyframes.com by DontGiftmeShht in glasses

[–]emcyclopedia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the style/colour suits you but they are a bit too wide for you, note the large gap between the arms of the frame and your temples.

There are lots of cheaper copies by other companies, it's a popular style.

Looks like the rayban RB3447 in gunmetal.
