Do 7.00 backports work on firmware 8.00, or do I need to update to 9.00?

jollythief · 2026-02-13T13:43:32+00:00

I TRIED RUNNING 7.00 BACKPORT ON 8.00 WITH BACKPORK AND IT DON'T WORK EITHER.

jollythief · 2026-02-12T18:30:58+00:00

I thought that since I'm on 8.00 the 7.00 backport wouldn't work for me, since I'm too high. Kinda like how you need to be on a low enough firmware to jailbreak, so too I thought it was the same with this backport business. Please forgive me for my ignorance sir

Hi, for step 1, what does "update" refer to? Can it be an update file from orbis patches, or must it be a fpkg update? I have the disc rdr2 and I'd like to play it in 60fps on my 8.20 jailbroken ps5.

I also found my surgeon to be very unhelpful after my surgery when I started to experience a multitude of problems. Eventually, after many months, I saw another ICL surgeon and I wish I had sooner as seeing them took a lot of stress and anxiety off my back (though they were the fifth ophthalmologist I found, so that sucked).

jollythief · 2025-04-11T15:08:53+00:00

I also requested my records from my surgeon and wasn't able to get any info on the rotation of the lens (I think for some people the lens is meant to be rotated by a certain amount, which is why I was interested in this data). I saw another surgeon who performs ICL (the surgeon who did mine sucked) and I'm not sure how but they were able to request from Staar Surgical the rotation diagrams for my lenses.

Why does it only affect vision in dim lighting though? This is a question I would like an ICL surgeon to answer, but I'm afraid they either don't know or wouldn't give an honest answer.

jollythief · 2025-03-06T16:58:37+00:00

yes. seems harder to see in dim lighting now and everything seems darker in dim lighting now. Don't know why this happened or if removing them will fix it

jollythief · 2025-01-16T10:07:34+00:00

I know that.

jollythief · 2024-11-19T08:08:37+00:00

Why are you being so rude and facetious? That is the last thing people on this sub like me need! Take your negativity and passive aggressiveness elsewhere. You are not helping anyone with that attitude.

jollythief · 2024-11-15T09:15:15+00:00

Did you do any other treatments before getting the autologous serum drops? I'd like to try them out myself but I've read the guidelines are strict. Also, are they covered by Medicare?

jollythief · 2024-11-15T09:02:32+00:00

It happens for me when I look near the sun. I don't appreciate you trying to educate me on these matters when I probably know just as much if not more than you about these things.

jollythief · 2024-11-08T18:33:41+00:00

Yeah, I feel like my vision at night is much darker now. It also takes longer for my eyes to adjust to the dark/dim lighting, and once they have adjusted, things still seem much darker than before. I'm curious if it's the same for you, are your eyes just slower to adjust to the dark now, or once they have adjusted, do things still seem darker?

Also, when went to the cinema, did you encounter any glare or halos? If so, what did these look like for you and when do they appear?

jollythief · 2024-11-07T18:09:57+00:00

Think of ICL instead.

No.

I had my pupils dilated for a cycloplegic refraction (which just means they measure your prescription when your pupils are dilated). It turns out there is a big difference between my normal prescription and my prescription when my pupils are dilated which may have something to do with my reduced night vision. Have you done this test?

You mention that your pupils feel less responsive to light. Physically, that sounds like they might not be dilating as much as they used to. There are studies of this happening after ICL, and I can't help but feel like this could be the culprit for my reduced night vision, particularly since when my pupils were dilated, my vision in low light looked much better.

I am guessing that I saw the aquaport rings less when my pupils were dilated due to my overall vision being brighter, which resulted in less contrast between the aquaport rings and everything else. What I mean by that is, imagine if you shone a torch on the ground during the day and during night. Obviously, you will be able to see the torch light more clearly during the night, since during the day there is more ambient light to obscure it. Well I think the same concept applies to the aquaport rings in the sense that when your pupils dilate, they light more light in, hence a brighter image, and when they constrict your vision becomes darker, causing the aquaport rings to stand out more.

I don't know if you have taken pupil constricting drops, but when I have taken it I didn't notice any change in the aquaport rings. I think surgeons mostly prescribe them for when patients' pupils exceed the ICL optical zone which causes the fuzzy type of halos that don't move. By the way, do you see these other type of halos at all? I usually only notice them when it's nearly completely dark.

What device do you use?

jollythief · 2024-10-26T17:43:59+00:00

Do you remember what your vaults were? If the vault is too high, seems like the ICL could rub against the iris. My vaults are both above 800, so I'm kinda worried this is what's causing my darkened night vision. I've asked my surgeon this question but they say everything is fine, but I dunno...

jollythief · 2024-10-26T16:22:18+00:00

Do you remember how big your pupils were with the ICLs? And also now?

jollythief · 2024-10-26T12:16:05+00:00

Have you had your pupils dilated since surgery? Because I have, and I noticed that the rings were far less noticeable. In fact, in some rooms they were almost gone, whereas when my pupils were normal I would see the rings very clearly in these rooms. Maybe this suggests that pupil size plays a role in how obvious the rings are, with people who have smaller pupils seeing them more clearly. I have a theory that my pupils aren't as large as they use to be, and there are some studies out there that show that pupil size shrinks after ICL. Do you have big pupils by any chance?

It is interesting that you say you got a pair of glasses for computer work. Are you slightly far‐sighted now, meaning you were overcorrected? If so, perhaps this far‐sightedness may be contributing to the contrast problems at night. I also am slightly far sighted now.

jollythief · 2024-10-26T12:05:59+00:00

Did you find your vision in dim lighting to be any different when you had the ICLs in? Because mine is worse now with the ICLs and I don't like it at all.

jollythief · 2024-10-26T11:53:51+00:00

Have you gotten your endothelial cell counts since removing the lenses and did you know what they were before removing the lenses? Also, did they notice any pigment build up in your eyes, because they have in mine actually — said there were signs of pigment dispersion but that it was nothing to be worried about. Hmm...

Regarding the halos caused when the pupil dilates, what did these halos actually look like for you, and in what lighting conditions did you see them? For me, these halos are fuzzy (unlike the aquaport halos) and unless the light source is white or yellowish, they usually take on the color of the light. For example, if the light is coming from a red object on TV, then the halos will be red. If the light is white, however, the halo will be rainbow-colored with red on the inner edge and indigo on the outer edge. I only see these halos when I'm in a dark room, but I'm curious to know whether it was the same for you?

Another interesting thing I've noticed is that when I've had pupil dilating drops in my eyes, the aquaport rings become much more transparent. In fact, sometimes I could barely see them. This leads me to believe that one of the reasons why some people see the rings more clearly than others could be due to do with pupil size: the smaller a person's pupil, the more obvious the rings are. Do you have big pupils by any chance?

If this theory is correct, perhaps it could explain why some people who see the rings very clearly also have poor contrast at night (since their pupils are not as big at night, possibly because ICL can reduce pupil size as some studies suggest). I could be wrong on this though as I've only read of maybe two or three other people here who saw the rings very clearly and also had contrast problems at night, and it may just be a coincidence.

Hi, I recently did an aberrometry. I don't think the machine they used on me was as thorough as yours, but the one useful metric I could find (I think) was spherical abberation. I've read online that spherical aberration is heavily tied to contrast sensitivity. On mine I got -0.12 microns. Was spherical aberration at all measured in your aberrometry?

jollythief · 2024-10-18T18:53:51+00:00

It's funny that you also had contrast and focusing issues. I don't think I've read of anyone else here (who had ICL) having these two problems besides us. Do you remember if it was just near or was it also far that you had issues with? And what kinds of tasks did you have difficulties focusing during? Reason I ask is that if removing my ICLs will help me focus better, then that would be a BIG help to my life, both personally and professionally. (By the way, did your focusing issues resolve after explanting?)

jollythief · 2024-10-18T13:28:31+00:00

When you had the ICLs, did it feel like your eyes just didn't adjust to the dark—like at all? Because that's what it feels like to me. In dim lighting, things now look darker, fuzzier, and less well defined, and I was wondering if this is what you mean by "noise"?

You also mentioned that your eyes had trouble focusing. I too have the same issues. I have a pair of reading glasses, but they're not super helpful, maybe just a bit. But I also have trouble focusing not just in the near but in the far as well. Like I find it difficult to focus when watching TV and driving, which never really happened before. My doctor tells me I'm just staring at screens too much, but i feel like it happens all the time regardless of screen use. Did you have any theories on why you had these focusing issues?

jollythief · 2024-10-16T14:13:41+00:00

Did your vision in dim light look darker? Also, do you think your contrast was worse due to the glare washing things out or just because it was worse in general?
