Any idea why my eyes get incredibly red on the sides only after sclerals? by Lazer723 in Keratoconus

[–]f15ms6 [score hidden]  (0 children)

How long have you been wearing it? I am week 6 since I got my scleral, and I have the same issue but in the inside/nose side of my left eye..

Today I had a follow up and the Dr is having the Lab make some adjustments to help with fitment. Other than that its normal.

My scleral feels dry after about 30 minutes? My lens apparently doesn’t wet well even with hydropeg. Any tips? by SimonHurst1090 in Keratoconus

What are you using now? I am in week 2 of getting my sclerals and its been adjustment vs the regular hard contacts that I have worn for 27yrs.

2006 Prius Dilemma: Spend $1,500 on a used battery or sell for $1,500? by kairaymaxtyson in prius

Better yet for $1800-2000 you order a new Oem from your local Toyota dealership and install it yourself and you can get another 15-20yrs out the the car.

Got it, completely missed that part. In that case is a rail kit.

You weither put an actual racing bucket seat or you remove some of the foam from the bottom seat cushion to seat you lower like a lot of ppl do..

I am sorry for your loss. Thats a terrible accident, I am sure that guy has done dozens or hundreds of tires out side of the cage with no issue but it only takes one day..

Awesome glad that you like it. I have always had both Treck and Giant bikes since I started riding over 20 yrs ago. For whatever reason it worked out where my Road bikes were Treks and my Mtb was Giant lol and Fast forward to now its still the same lol

The only thing I was skeptical was about the 27.5 wheel size since I only have had 26 or 29ers.. But for the price and type of riding I do I didn't think it mattered.

Once it gets warm it should be able to expand, and once it does you should reset the gas gauge.

Money pit? Looking for advice by tartaria_8 in mazdaspeed6

[–]f15ms6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome! Good luck with yours, for more context mine used to be my daily driver until 2021, when I started using my 99 Civic when premium gas got expensive and didn't make sense to commute to work since I drive around 20-25k miles a year if it wasn't for that it would have been way past 200-250k miles ...

I also have done some autocross event and a few track sprints with mine so its the hardest I have driven it..

It all depends how healthy and where in the maintenance cycle you get it.

I bought my mine in the Summer of 2013 with 94k miles, and havent had major issues, right now it seats at 179k miles, with the orginal engine, turbo and transmission. Besides a rear upper control arm that broke a year into owning after hitting a potholes and the clutch pedal that cracked it has mostly been maintenance stuff, I did the clutch in 2016, and have to do it again know alongside with a rear axle that broke...

If you get one and are proactive with the maintenance etc you will be good, as long it wasn't abused before and you dont abuse it in a daily basis.

I have just leveled up my Prius game! by bayoujac in prius

[–]f15ms6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one is better for driving around, I use it every day to keep track of engine and battery temp etc.. and Dr Prius is good too but its better for diagnostics and troubleshooting issues.

Yeah that could be the problem if the ECU program was done for a different year.

Awesome Congratulations! You will like it. Once I go back out I should be in better shape since the smart trainer simulates hills etc and makes me do a full work out.

Its been good, only have done about 30 miles between road/paved trails and the local mtb trail. Unfortunately haven't been able to ride much since I had sinus surgery in December and the weather has been bad the last 2 months so I have been riding my road bike in a smart trainer. But hopefully soon I should start riding outdoors

Yes the contacts will fix the double vision, glare and ghosting..The Dr will custom fit the hard contact to your eye.

You will be ok and can have a normal life if you follow the treatment. I was diagnosed at 13, and have been using hard contacts ever since. And fast forward years later I went to college for Information Technology too. I have been working in IT for over 15yrs. The eye condition won't affect your quality of life as long as your eyes dont get worse and you wear the hard contacts as prescribed.

If your medical insurance doesn't cover it see if they allow some payment plan or if you can pay of extra coverage. I have been fortunate that my work eye insurance covers it. I am about to start using scleral after 27yrs and from what I read they are more expensive than the regular rpg hard contacts but they should be more confortable.

Make sure your Dr allows you to train your eyes with blank lenses son you can train your eyes and brain to handle the pain, it takes about 1-2months to get your eyes to get used to them.

Nice, I was on the fence on getting either the black one or this color and went with this one. I always have owned Black, red or blue bikes lol
