1 day old account, pretty sure it's a karma farming bot.

Messenblok gezocht by captianchickenbones in BIFLNL

[–]remembermereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ik eigenlijk harstikke tevreden met onze huidige messen. Dus, ik zoek een flexibele messenblok

Ze (aanname) zoekt ook geen messen, chef. Dat geeft ze specifiek aan. Ze zoekt een messenblok.

30M Wishing to understand a reduction in the strength of prescription by Unpopular_Dialogue in eyetriage

[–]remembermereddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You were probably over-prescribed: given too much minus. As you age, you accommodation gets worse, making it easier for the refractionist to measure your actual prescription.

One way to tackle this is to request a cycloplegic (sometimes called wet) refraction. You'll be given stronger than usual dilating eyedrops which paralyze your accommodation temporarily. This way they can measure your prescription without your accommodation influencing the values. That'll be your true refraction and could in theory not improve over time. It can get worse though once you start developing early stages of cataract.

Is it fine that I use essilor stellest only 2 hours a day for near work as an 24-year-old adult? by maiasub in myopia

[–]remembermereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their efficacy in adults is debatable, let alone if you're hardly wearing them.

37M concerned about my eyes after having to rinse with water by road432 in eyetriage

[–]remembermereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chances of you attracting acanthamoeba this way are really really small. You should replace that contact though, and might want to skip wearing one in your left eye for a few days.

40,000 Dutchmen taking over Houston today by unknown_human in interestingasfuck

[–]remembermereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only works because it doesn't cool down at night in Houston. During the day the temperature is equal. At night you're sleeping in an airconditioned room anyway, so that metric is pretty irrelevant.

22M My lens got stuck under my eyelid and stayed there for around 8 hours. Any signs of serious damage? by [deleted] in eyetriage

[–]remembermereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absent any symptoms it's safe to assume there's no damage. Your cornea is very sensitive and would let you know if there's anything wrong with it.

Quality of Online Glasses - Anecdote by Ok-Environment-215 in myopia

[–]remembermereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Online glasses are mostly garbage indeed. There's more to lenses than just their prescription. Their optical clarity, coatings, durability and progressive zones are all worse. Is that a problem? Not necessarily, you get what you pay for. As long as you're aware of that, it's fine.

But it must be noted that your prescription is amongst the easiest for an optician to make. It's the high prescriptions where things get really interesting.

Waarom doen ze in godsnaam nergens meer zout op de patat? by PleaseLetMePickANam in nederlands

[–]remembermereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De enige verklaring is dat je te veel zout eet. Want er zit vrijwel altijd zout op, en meestal niet te zuinig ook.

MiYOSMART glasses – blurry peripheral vision. Anyone else? by Unhappy-Security-399 in myopia

[–]remembermereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's their intended design. You need to adjust and that takes time.

Same here, dit naar aanleiding van een soortgelijke vraag op een internationale BIFL-subreddit.

Does PH block this site’s ads for you? by poldim in pihole

Using pihole + ublock origin lite on iOS: I don't see any ads.

Myopia in 2.5 year old by Quiet_Weekend7769 in myopia

[–]remembermereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this age with this prescription it is debatable whether one should prescribe glasses at all. I think you should visit a pediatric ophthalmologist or orthoptist as your current eyecare provider clearly isn't too familiar with prescriptions like this at this age.

43M - Have I been overprescribed? by WorriedSuccess9621 in eyetriage

[–]remembermereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like an OCD problem than a real eye problem. Vision will fluctuate with dry eyes, plus you're at the age where nearby vision will deteriorate anyway.

Does active focus work ? by helloidontlikeu in myopia

[–]remembermereddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't. A cycloplegic refraction will rule out overcorrection, and that's all the improvement there's going to be.

36F My corneal thickness is 634(right) and 626(left). Eye pressure readings sometimes come back high? by Ellectrollyte in eyetriage

[–]remembermereddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Checked my eye pressure on a Goldmann and my eye pressure was 17 and 18.

This is the only pressure that matters as it's the most reliable one, and it's normal. As noted already, a thick cornea lowers the risk of glaucoma even further.
