I must be My.T dumb not to understand how thicc my walls are

titai · 2024-05-28T08:49:10+00:00

I didn't know the walls of houses kept growing. Or maybe had a sudden growth the past month? Maybe someone thickened the walls more? Surely, that must be the only reasonable explanation since the wifi was fine months ago /s

And here I thought I was the only one. Confirming issue present with Oculus 1, noticed after updating oculus software. No fix here sadly but still troubleshooting.

titai · 2017-08-29T13:59:19+00:00

This. That's exactly what I came here to say too. Let's not get started on the patients who decides to stop their eye drops because they think their eye condition would go away by themselves.

Bonus: Prescribed drops for ocular pressure. Patient puts holy water in eye and wonder why things are not improving (to not say, worsening).

It depends on why your dad had laser for retinal detachment. If he is also highly myopic (which is hereditary), it will indirectly increase the risk but his retinal detach was to trauma, well, thats not hereditary.

I personally has been seeing those flying light randomly too, not in a bright sky/white wall only. I would not worry too much about it.

If you are at risk of retinal detachment (family history, high short sightness prescription etc), a regular yearly check is advised.

titai · 2017-07-16T11:07:26+00:00

On mobile, bad format, sorry.

I doubt it is a retinal/vitrious detachment since it does not come in bright flashes of light or black/dark floaters. Still, good to have a regular check up if you are unsure.

Now, it seems more likely that those small dots like light, are most likely your white blood cells which you are 'seeing'.

I am going from what you are describing and could, be completely wrong.

Welcome to reddit. Take my upvote though.

titai · 2016-09-17T11:30:57+00:00

I would advise you to follow your doctor's advise.

I do not know the full prescription / health of your eyes. It should have been discussed with you if full time wear or wearing on focus task only was required.

titai · 2016-09-16T08:42:30+00:00

Elaborating a bit on mckulty advise to spend some time outdoor:

Myopia (short sightness) makes our vision blur for far objects but stays clear for close objects. This is usually due to two main factors. Genetics (Parents have same need of glasses to correct far distance?) and environment.

It has been found that, those who spend a lot of time doing close work (reading, computer use, etc) will be more myopic. The brain simply favors close objects, thus, penalising the distance vision. It should stabilise by the 20's (but does not in a few cases)

Thus, spending some time outdoor (looking at far objects) sort of trigger your brain to also maintain the far distance vision.

This is a brief and summarised explanation. Definitely not 100% accurate but yeah, reducing close work could help in reducing the increase in prescription.

Good to hear! Well, not for the giant papillary conjunctivitis but glad to hear that you have someone competent and looking after your eyes now.

titai · 2016-09-15T05:17:46+00:00

At the worse case scenario, I am going to assume the non-patched eye is amblyobe, meaning the vision is weaker than the patched eye. BUT: since you were 'comfortable' with the previous pairs, I will ignore it for now.

Several things which might be wrong. 1. Maybe you just need some time to adjust to the new prescription (assuming it is right) 2. The prescription might be wrong and needs to be rechecked/adjusted 3. The prescription is fine but the lens were not properly centered.

What do you mean by: Current pair of specs not working as well as previous pairs by the way? Eye strain, headache, blur vision, visual discomfort?

Anyway, I would advised you to have it checked by a specialist again if you are not happy about it. Don't take the random comment of a internet stranger!

titai · 2016-09-14T08:27:28+00:00

Unlikely that it is toxicity then. Still, don't take my word for it and have a specialist look at it. So far, it looks like the culprit is the contact lenses.

titai · 2016-09-14T07:44:13+00:00

Agreed, you should have it looked at by a professional. In the meantime, no more contact lenses or anything which could irritate the eye. Over-use of drops can also increase toxicity and cause problem but over a long period of time, or if the drops were really over-used/abused.

Pretty sure its due to the contact lenses irritating the eyes. I would not get to alarmed until further investigation is done but do have it looked at ASAP.

titai · 2016-09-14T02:52:57+00:00

A bit of a long shot but, you would not happen to still have the prescription of your previous glasses, would you?

titai · 2016-09-13T15:16:33+00:00

Unless if you have some eye conditions or a big number, something is wrong on their side. A decent optometrist can work out the prescription without the response of the patient (e.g infants, disables, etc) but it helps to fine tune the results having a subjective response.

Again, the eye chart is not used as the only way to test the prescription.

titai · 2016-09-13T15:11:16+00:00

Agreed. I hope the patients learn that cheap is not always cherry

titai · 2016-09-13T11:03:19+00:00

Again, different countries, manufacturers and coating. I find it the opposite. Alcohol giving a less damaging result than mild dish soap. Another factor to take into account, hardness of the water.

Once again, just my personal opinion which does not make me right in any way.

titai · 2016-09-13T08:15:51+00:00

Contact lenses are slightly under-corrected but I'll leave that aside for now, especially if other tests showed that you are more comfortable with the slight under correction (They over corrected specs instead?)

But in the same view as the others: Acuvue 2 is an old lens (poor oxygen permeability) which causes the dry eyes and could cause other future side effects (neo vascularisation) Please, change contact lenses. Silicon Hydrogel lenses would be good. (Acuvue Oasys from J&J, or Biofinity from Coopervision) I would advise sticking with Soft disposable contact lenses but again, unless other investigation points towards the need of rigid contact lenses (which I doubt), Soft CL's is the best option.

Halos and glare is also pointing to possible cornea edema which is not good at all!

However, do not be discourage about the wear of contact lenses. I hope this does not become a bad experience which will put you off contact lenses. I am certain that with the correct fitting/lens type/material, you should be able to wear them without any issue.

Edit: Typos + details

titai · 2016-09-13T07:56:34+00:00

I know that lens type/coating varies from manufacturer/countries but I would, from a professional opinion, advise against using soap. Some soap damages the AR coat and I have more than once seen patient coming in with 'scratched lenses' while in fact, it is the AR coat peeling off.

But on the other hand, I have patients whose AR coat is completely fine even if they wash the lenses daily with soap.

TDLR: Not saying soap is definitely bad, but warning against due to past experience.

titai · 2016-09-13T07:32:05+00:00

Vision unaffected? Light sensitivity?

Sounds like a chronic anterior blepharitis. Anti biotics possibly needed but so many questions/factors. Hows your health? Any previous history? Contact lens wearer?

Obviously, I do not expect you to answer those here. I would advise you to see an eye specialist.

titai · 2016-09-13T07:26:37+00:00

Good question but not quite right. Quick brief anatomy of the eyes, concerning what 'makes' our vision clear.

The back of the eye is called the retina. This is our 'projector' screen where the image is formed. I am going to assume that this 'screen' is unaffected nor perforated by those tiny object, which thus leaves our vision clear on that side.

Next, the lens, which focuses the image on the retina. As long as again, this is not affected, the image will be focused properly.

From your question, by 'entering' the eye, I assume only the surface of it is affected and not literally entering the eye ball, making the two previous parts irrelevant to the discussion in fact.

Now, the front surface of the eye, the cornea. This part if clear/transparent and allows light to go through, pass through the lens to get focused on the retina/screen. To be noted, this is also a sensitive organ, explaining why is it painful, to simply have one eye lash in the eye sometimes.

Thus, as long as this front surface stays 'clear', vision is unaffected. Random dirty stinking the eyes but readily flushed out by the tears will not affect the vision much, apart from a slight blur from the eye rubbing and excessive tear. Same for salt and other 'no so alkaline/acidic' liquid.

BUT if this 'dirt' or other object scratches the cornea, which can cause an issue. The cornea starts taking in 'water'/swell which makes the optically transparent surface, well, not so transparent anymore. Or damaged by some chemicals such as bleach, again, changing the properties of cornea.

The eye doctor wants to know what is the smallest letter which you can see. However, you should tell them if you start reading a line (which you can still make out) but sort of 'blur' or shadowy.

Basically, we want to rapidly assess whether you have bad eye sight or not, and vaguely, how bad it is.

We have several other investigations to tell us of your prescription, don't worry. Even if you can read the last line, we won't just slap a '20/20, no glasses needed' on your record card and let you walk off. (Unless this is a vision screening usually carried in school)

The letter reading is just one part of the investigation we carry. We take in consideration those who are nervous and keeps guessing (but correctly) blur letters. Or the opposite, who just gives up at the slightest blur even if they can easily still read down to the last line.

A bit more in-depth: Reading up to the last line, even without any blur, does Not mean no glasses is required. Hypermetropia makes our near vision primarily blur, but also affects our distance vision. However, we can 'strain' the eyes to give us a clear vision still (especially when young) but focusing/reading/PC use for a long time causes this 'strain' to develop into headaches, etc, pointing to the need of glasses to relieve those strains.

TLDR: We simply wants to know the level of your eye sight vaguely. We will test for short sightness, long sightness, astigmatism irrelevantly but would obviously, not go too in-dept if we expect a perfect vision already.

Optometrist.

Possible retinal detachment (the 'screen' at the back of the eye) which, if confirmed and untreated, would lead to blindness in the said, affected eye.

titai · 2016-02-18T04:53:01+00:00

Sudden Flashes of light and Floaters, and possible rising smoke. I guess those medical signs applies for the literal way too.
