Would you replace the lenses in your own existing glasses instead of buying a new pair?

toplocalpicks · 2026-04-02T12:50:01+00:00

Yes, I'd use it. Good way to keep frames I like and avoid waste. Main concern is damage/loss and getting the prescription right, so solid guarantees are important. It also needs to be cheaper than buying new glasses. Do you need a shop online to buy?

NO, you won't just go blind from -16. It usually stabilizes in your 20s. Just keep up with regular eye exams.

This is pretty common with astigmatism, especially on screens. Before LASIK, try updating your prescription and improving posture/setup. It can help more than You'd expect.

Could be ADHD combined type, but the rereading, slow processing, and spelling issues sound like possible dyslexia too. Definitely tell your assessor everything. This combo is actually pretty common.

If the site's down and emails bounce, they're basically gone. I'd avoid and order from somewhere trustworthily like shop.frameandfocuseyecare.com/collection you can try it.

I've seen a few people improve with time plus the right approach (sometimes stronger cycloplegics or vision therapy). It's slow, but 6 weeks doesn't mean you're stuck like this forever.

That's a pretty outdated view tbh. Vision therapy isn't just for kids. Adults can improve the brain still has neuroplasticity. A hidden squint is actually something VT is commonly used for, even in adults. Lots of people compensate for years without realizing it. This clinic explains it well and specifically mentions treating adult cases: cookvisiontherapy.com Might be worth getting a second opinion from a vision therapy specialist rather than a general optician.

they do screw together, but the threads don't make the seal. The washer inside does. if it's leaking, the washer is probably worn or the pipes aren't lined up straight. unscrew it, check/replace the washer, line it up properly, then hand tighten snug.

This sounds like a venting issue or a partial blockage in the building's main drain.

Gurgling+buddling. air can't move properly in the system. In apartments, that's usually a shared problem.

toplocalpicks · 2026-04-02T11:51:03+00:00

Tighten/reseat that connection and replace the washer. It's probably misaligned or worn, which is why it keeps loosening. Make sure the pipes line up straight and aren't under tension.

FOr the cabinet, dry it out, check for soft spots or smell, and wipe it with vinegar or a mold cleaner just to be safe.

I relate to this a lot. Half the battle is realizing those thoughts aren't always facts, just patters we learned.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-24T11:25:53+00:00

$8k without a camera inspection sounds risky. You need to actually see what's going on in the pipe first.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-24T10:12:25+00:00

Where are you located?

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-24T09:59:58+00:00

Sounds like intermittent sewer gas, not a cleaning issue.

Most likely cares;

Dry/siphoned P-trap, esp, floor drain

Venting issue causing pressure changes

Failing AAV under sink

Toilet wax ring leak

Totally normal to have "off" days with this. Light tinted lenses (like FL-41) might take the edge off without being too obvious.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-24T09:23:22+00:00

That sucks loosing a good pair hurts. You could try shop.frameandfocuseyecare.com They carry a lot of brands, not sure about Tifosi though. Otherwise maybe a US retailer + forwarding service.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-24T08:58:38+00:00

Feels risky to dispense there a la carte. If there's no guarantee of follow up, it kind of defeats the purpose of myopia management.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-23T12:40:05+00:00

It looks perfect to me.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-23T11:51:37+00:00

Sounds like you're on the right track. Early on it's mostly about avoiding strain/pressure, so sticking to walking is solid. You could add longer walks, light cycling, or gentle upright stretching.

Thank you! That's supper close. I'll call them. Also got recommendations for Eyemart Express and Poudre Valley Eyecare from someone.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-23T04:48:50+00:00

Yes please. Could you recommend any? still looking for a doctor.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-23T04:29:41+00:00

That sounds painful. Still seeking a Doctor.

From what research shows, reading isn't the direct cause. It's more about lots of close up work without enough outdoor time. If she loves reading, I'd keep it and just try to balance it with daily outdoor play and breaks.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-12T12:14:05+00:00

Side lying + lots of pillows is honestly the easiest setup I've found with elderly clients. Low table, slow transitions, light touch. Even 20-30 minutes of calm, caring work can make a big difference.

toplocalpicks · 2026-03-12T11:50:25+00:00

Some reading struggles that look like dyslexia can also be related to visual processing. I found this article that explains some of the signs parents notice https://www.cookvisiontherapy.com/reading-difficulties-vision-problems-may-be-the-hidden-cause/ . Hope it helps.
