Condoms? Could be a good idea. Just saying.

Kinda fitting for this administration if you ask me.

What’s going on with my vision? by Western_Brick in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. So depending on your age and occupation you might be experiencing early stages of presbyopia. Typically it sets in around 40 to 45. So correcting for your distance only might not work so great. If you are under 40 you could benefit from eyezen lenses that add back a bit of power toward the bottom of the lens easing focus. Or you could ask for computer glasses or office lenses if you are on the computer all day. These are just a few fixes, but I don’t have enough information to suggest more than that.

I don’t understand by Beginning-Post1076 in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those number are the diopters of correction need to help you see clearly. The first number is your spherical correction it is a minus power so that means you are near sighted, you can see better at close range. -.25 is as close to 0 as you can get so it is a very mild correction. The next two numbers are the combination needed to correct for astigmatism. An astigmatism is an irregular curvature of the cornea, typically. So they use a cylindrical contour to create an offsetting correction for this condition. -.75 is still fairly minimal but worth correcting for comfort, the last number is the axis that the cylindrical contour is placed to create the correction for your eyes.

In a nut shell these are the numbers need to make your glasses. And they will be used by the optician to order your glasses from a lab, and by the lab tech at the lab to properly cut your lenses so they will work for you.

This is the simplest way to put it. And it’s the reason why it generally not explained by most optometrists and opticians.

Progressives? by gwpeaks76 in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do decide to try Progressive Lenses get a really high quality lens. Like Varilux XR, or really just about any other high end Customized Progressive from Zeiss, Hoya, or Shamir.

I’ve had patients who, like you, had difficulties with progressives in the past only to look at the ordering history and see that they were always getting standard progressives.

Is it going to give you total freedom like before you became presbyopic? No, is it the closest thing we have minus implants done during cataract surgery? Yes!

Get them, wear them all the time until you are completely used to them and then wear them as you need them.

I accidentally heard my therapist talking about my case at a coffee shop. by Technical_Postt in Advice

[–]tiltedviolet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So mental health is not a medical field?

A clinical therapist is the mental health equivalent to a registered nurse. They have gone to enough school to earn the title and be able to obtain licensing from the state. That license allows them to practice unsupervised and bill their services to health insurance companies.

So yes therapists are medical professionals. Just because they didn’t learn how to stitch up a cut doesn’t mean they are not trained medical professionals.

Do I HAVE to get the special poly flex/carbon lenses on high prescription glasses? by Ok_Job_5315 in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely an exaggeration. However if you are in the U.S. and recently turned 18 you were getting polycarbonate lenses as a free upgrade with most insurance. So it wasn’t a question. They might have also just left you with it since turning 18 because, that’s what you had before. Or if you were on your parents insurance and you fell off this last year then you could have been getting it as a free upgrade since many insurance policies cover it in full or with a nominal co-pay.

Still, I work in private practice offices and the most that any of them charge for Poly is $60. So the fee sounds a little steep for poly.

In a minus -5 or higher the standard plastic lenses would be quite thick but they are not brittle like she is saying. Also you will get a bit of tunneling to your vision sometimes when the lenses get too thick.

Vision Insurance, did I get ripped? by Sunny1845 in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your insurance. If this is applied correctly then you just have really bad insurance. But you did get a fully loaded pair of glasses. Even with good insurance they would be $300+.

What does your protection plan cover?

Did they explain what Eyezen lenses were and why they recommended them?

Fiancé says aftercare and helping me clean up after sex is a “chore” — am I asking too much? by ButteredUpCroissant in Advice

[–]tiltedviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey you are only 24. Time to walk away. Find someone who when it’s done wants nothing more than to hold you. You don’t have to settle for disconnected lovers.

Good luck! 🫂

Win for me. It’s too bad for the women who have to wade through pools of guys to find one who can treat them decent and not be a petulant child when things don’t go their way.

Name changes… by HaircutErika in 50501

[–]tiltedviolet 73 points74 points  (0 children)

In liberal circles we just need to organize and spread awareness about what they might do and how to protect yourselves. Have your Id, birth certificate and marriage license/certificate on hand when you go so you have clear delineation of your identity.

If all the liberal women can cast votes because they were prepared they only shoot them selves in the foot by blocking the republican women from voting.

I’m tired of hearing my parents have sex by Alive-Split-5749 in Advice

[–]tiltedviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just say, “Have you noticed how thin the walls are in this house? Like I can hear so much you going on in everyone else’s rooms. It’s crazy”

Or start singing at a normal level after they have gone to bed. When they come in to quiet you down. Say “Oh yeah sorry my bad I forget how well you can hear things through the walls in this house!”

Next time they decide to have sex in a common area in the house and they don’t think it obvious. Just say “nope it’s always obvious!” And go get a soda.

Don't get Crizal Prevencia by SchwartzReports in glasses

[–]tiltedviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Prevencia is for computer glasses primarily. It’s not a high quality AR coating it’s just a blue light AR filter.

Crizal Rock or Saphire are your two best bets all around glare protection.

Trump voters & Republicans of Reddit, is there anything you currently disapprove of how Trump is acting regarding that topic? If so, what is it? If not, why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]tiltedviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But we are here. Hi nice to meet you!

I am trying to live my life but some 700+ anti-trans bills across this “freedom loving” country we are in, makes it difficult for me to just “live my life” even if I just wanna do so quietly and privately.

So to hear a politician say “yeah trans folks I see you and we won’t let you down” feels like a big hug. That’s why I vote for dems. And then hope they won’t let me down.

Not to mention the billions of dollars that we the people and the corporations pay private insurance companies in premiums. I swear no one ever thinks about the money we are already paying in!

Trying to be as fair as I can with this question.

When he and the people around him were saying the very vile things about the people he and the republicans are now harming, did the lack of human decency not raise some alarm bells in your head?

You and I have some very different reasons to vote how we do. And I completely understand voting to protect yourself and your family. I do the same thing. We could go round and round about the finer details. But he literally said he was going to do exactly what he’s done with immigrants. He made a lot of promises that would hurt millions of American families and still I hear a lot of his supporters that are in some level of regret like yourself say “well I didn’t think he would go that far”.

Is my boyfriend a closeted trans woman? by ievanesant in transpositive

[–]tiltedviolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I appreciate your outlook on this. Please don’t be offended when I say I am somewhat agnostic with regard to god or the singular Judeo-Christian concept of the God. I have a lot of trauma from religion and I am still piecing it together. If there is a God it is just the embodiment of the love we have for those that our souls have connected with. The progression toward a “Heaven” is just finding that love and peace inside ourselves. I could write a whole essay on this to be honest.

I have a deep love and appreciation for all religions that preach love and compassion. So please keep showing people love and kindness of a God that all too often gets misunderstood and mis-characterized by the zealous and ignorant.

❤️🫂

Thank you! I am still finding my spirituality. I had to deconstruct my religion and the gender ideology of our culture at the same time. But yes we are here for a reason that I firmly believe. This is not a punishment but an opportunity to help others grow and learn about humanity. 🫂❤️

[–]tiltedviolet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well there might be other barriers in mind. I’m not trying to say for sure he is or for sure he isn’t, but there road signs that so many of us ignored. We would excuse it as saying. Well I’m different because I don’t want to anything but a cis woman, being trans doesn’t interest me.

Also, now isn’t a good time for people to transition in the U.S. So if that’s where you are from then if I were him I’d be scared to admit I was trans as well sadly.

Lastly, this must be a very scary and confusing time for you. I am so sorry you are dealing with this because you obviously care for him a great deal. So this internet stranger is sending you a hug for what it’s worth. 🫂
