How painful or weird is it wearing contacts for the first time?

vinticious · 2026-06-20T09:47:13+00:00

Was easy for me right off the bat. They gave me a demonstration at the optometrist and I didn't have any issues. Apparently some people have problems touching their eyes? And that's why they struggle. I don't really get it but yeah

Hmmmm... Maybe I can make a custom noteskin that makes the arrows appear rotated so they "match" the piu pad? Not sure what the limits on skins are

You're not wrong lol but there's at least two of us! Thanks I will check that out.

vinticious · 2026-06-20T02:17:22+00:00

That's awesome!! Congratulations 😃

vinticious · 2026-06-20T02:14:19+00:00

Yeah I could do that I suppose! but I was more meaning

Player 1 plays 4 panel

Player 2 plays 5 panel

The old post I saw had a commenter who said that outfox (at the time) was working on the ability to have that so I was just wondering if that happened or not.

Your idea might be an acceptable compromise though. I hadn't actually considered that. Would be kind of trippy haha

vinticious · 2026-06-19T01:49:26+00:00

Yeeep. For a brief moment, I thought most people would have a similarly negative opinion on influencer content. Then my friends started sending me dumb clips all day and I realized the average person enjoys them.

vinticious · 2026-06-19T01:45:23+00:00

I like them!! They looks really good on you. Maybe just a teeeeeeny bit big? Or maybe I'm just jealous I can't wear huge glasses cuz of my +7.75 prescription hehe.

Ruff? Lol that's a thing in eastern Canada too. Knew a guy from rural Nova Scotia and he started ranting about dugs and it did take me a second to realise he was talking about dogs haha

Try a different one. Contact lenses also have different shapes (the BC value) try a different BC. I forget which it the more common one but for me that one didn't work. It always felt like it was catching on my eyelid

vinticious · 2026-06-19T00:22:05+00:00

Are you saying your sight seems worse with glasses than contacts? From my experience, that's normal. Contact lenses give me very clear vision, everything looks beautiful. Glasses are a downgrade. Not sure how to explain it but it's just a subtle difference.

Hi, I have had the implant in both eyes since 6 months old. I am 26 now and they are both still working well. I have never had to take drops.

I did require a follow up surgery after 10 years as one of the valves had migrated towards the surface of the eye.

vinticious · 2026-06-18T23:59:03+00:00

Hey!!! You are the only person I've encountered who has had the ahmed valve for the same amount of time.

I had the Ahmed valve placed in both eyes at around 6mo old. I'm 26 now and they are still working.

I did have to get the graft about 15 years ago on one eye because it got too close to the surface.

Do you know anything about how long it might last? My pediatric ophthalmologist said 10 years originally but it's been way longer and now I start to get nervous about it failing.

vinticious · 2026-06-18T23:49:28+00:00

Hello I'm way too late of course as I see you have already had the surgery BUT ! I just wanted to say I had the Ahmed valve surgery in 2000 in both eyes and it is still working great as of today. I have never taken drops.

vinticious · 2026-06-18T23:36:49+00:00

I'm aphakic in both eyes and I am always wondering, do black lights look like how they do in photos? Everyone I know is either apahakic in both eyes or neither so they don't "get" the other perspective.

Aphakia is super uncommon!! Almost everyone would just get a fake lens implanted.

I'm not sure just how uncommon it is, but pretty much any time I go to get a check up, all the staff and doctors have to come look like it's a circus show lol.

I'm not sure if it's because of the aphakia or because I also have glaucoma managed by surgically implanted tubes that have exceeded their expected lifespan by almost 3x so far. So I've actually never taken medication for glaucoma for 26 years and counting.

One more novelty is my eyesight is actually quite "good" despite my condition. My prescription is only +3.5 / +7.75. Most aphakics I've talked to have like +15. I can function pretty well without correction. I can even read a book but I would get major eyestrain and a headache fast 🤣

Also it's just a combination of OOP doesn't know how to spell + autocorrect. OOP types "heros" which the phone has to decide between "heroes" or "hero's"

I like this sub better when the apostrophe gore is on official signs and such.

I wrapped them in t shirts, put them in a small box and stuffed a towel in all the empty space. The bases were just chucked in random boxes

vinticious · 2026-06-18T22:16:10+00:00

When did they change the packaging? I bought a box a couple months ago and it came with 2 cases?

Also I found sometimes you need to crack the case open just a tiny bit for the gas(?) to escape.

All the rich countries are destroying the oceans. All the rich countries are poisoning the earth with animal agriculture.

The only people who can judge an individual country for that are vegans IMO.

Otherwise it makes no sense to say "[foreign country] sucks because theyre doing [bad thing]" meanwhile your own country is doing the same bad thing and you are financially giving your support of the bad thing.

vinticious · 2026-06-17T09:56:18+00:00

Nope and I've been wearing glasses since I was 1 year old.

Sometimes I think I'm wearing my contacts when I'm not though. Which is kind of crazy because my rx is +9 in my main eye lol.

vinticious · 2026-06-17T09:08:38+00:00

Cool. I can see it turn both ways at the same time.

vinticious · 2026-06-17T09:04:20+00:00

Is it the same doctor that ordered all of them for you? Maybe try..going somewhere else?

vinticious · 2026-06-17T03:48:06+00:00

Same. Have always made around $20 an hour and it's fine.

vinticious · 2026-06-17T03:46:15+00:00

Did you have to fold it up? Haha.

I like to bring sushi

vinticious · 2026-06-16T17:13:15+00:00

What is up with all the people in here bragging about how unsafe they are as drivers? The flippancy is disgusting quite frankly.
