(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best vision care products

Here is what I wrote out for this other guy,

Check our /r/diy_ejuice[1] great community lots of info and recipes!

Order the nicotine and your STARTER flavorings from https://wizardlabs.us[2]


Order either 60 or 100mg pg based(if you aren't allergic) nicotine for math reasons, they both calculate pretty even. Also the 100mg one will last a lot longer but it kind of depends on what is in stock.


For the flavors it's best to order your beginning ones there too until you know what you like,because they sell like same size ones for $1.99 (prob about enough for 80-140 milliliters depending on your preferred flavor %
once I knew what I wanted I started ordering from high desert vapes
https://highdesertvapes.com/categories/DIY/[3]
(they resell flavorings so you get a GOOD discount)


P. S. On HDV ellas=capellas (you have to order ellas sweet strawberry, my most ordered and one of my faves. I also recommend fruit stripe gum, but I forgot who made it it's a newer one I just picked up!)


Don't forget to order syringes and I accidentally ordered a shit ton of size 14 needles for them and it's really hard to pull up VG since it's so thick so get a bigger one for that. Also make sure before you use them that you put tape over the numbers because they will come off really fast if you don't.


I actually buy all of my PG and VG locally Walmart sells VG (if you are interested let me know and I'll send you a pic of what the bottle looks like) but it's in the skin ointment aisle.


Tractor supply company sells a gallon of PG for $23 best deal ever. I'm never running out! Lol
You'll need bottles as well (way more expensive than you'd think, there are some cheapish options on Amazon for like 50 10ml bottles.

that is what I use now

Download the program ejuicemeup that's your calculator. Love it.

Uhm.... I'm probably forgetting something any questions, just ask.


Edit: holy novel


Edit 2: I remembered something else, try and get familiar with the list of flavors known to crack tanks
http://discountvapers.com/liquids-and-tanks/[6]


Edit 3:links!


REAL EDIT: formatting, I usually use capellas but there are certain flavors that certain people do better. I'd say Capellas = fruit FW = dessert TFA = candy like Lorannes = Fruit candy like

and steeping I am really lazy and don't wait to vape and it still tastes pretty good. I'll make about 15 ml and it will just get better and better as it goes :D

I actually can't compare since I was an early adapter to DIY and I didn't ever ger into ordering juices online. I can tell you everyone I've let try it so far has LOVED it. you may want to tweak it a little for your own preferences like if you want it a little more cinnamon-y or a little sweeter but each person likes things a little different

That sounds awful. Kudos to you for getting through your work days.

For diagnosis, is the doc who gave you the beta blocker working with you to get an official diagnosis?

For the blood pooling, have you tried a footstool? Or for the light flickering, sunglasses? There are pricey ones specifically for fluorescent lights but you might try cheap dollar store ones to see if a certain brand helps. I know the helpfulness of these things varies widely, but if you have an opportunity to try I hope you get at least some small relief.

Are you working on any exercise program? I imagine you are completely wiped out on your off-days, but if you can do even very gentle stretching or leg exercises while lying down on a regular basis it can add up to a big difference over weeks or months.

The shakiness and the dazed-vision are pretty common in POTS. They are not risk factors for anything (no seizures!) and so apparently aren't interesting enough to study. They are definitely scary and debilitating and I am sorry you are experiencing them so regularly.

I hope you have some positive things happen to you today!

Just posting an anecdote for anyone else who stumbles on this thread:

I've had a bad dry eye situation developing in my left eye for a few months. It's most likely due to a chalazion or blocked duct that's caused some inflammation. The eyelid doesn't close properly so the eye dries out while I'm sleeping. The lump in the eyelid also puts some pressure on the eye. For a while, when I'd wake up it would feel like someone was ripping a piece of duct tape off my dry eyeball. It would burn and sting for an hour or so before I could properly function. I got it sort of under control by doing regular warm compresses and sleeping with a headband over my eyes in such a way that it put just enough pressure on the lid to help keep it closed tightly. I've also been using Systane gel or ointment overnight. I've gone back and forth between the headband and this hydrating sleep mask. With all that I was still having flare-ups a couple of times a week when I'd wake up. I found that a cold compress (damp washcloth with water as cold as possible) helps with the pain. My eye seems to put off a LOT of heat when it's irritated. Oh, I also take 1000mg of fish oil in the morning and another 1000mg right before bed.

Last week I had a really bad flare-up in the middle of the afternoon not anywhere close to when I'd been sleeping. The compress only helped a little bit. It was burning like fire and it felt like there was a gigantic splinter or something in my eye. It finally calmed down after an hour or so but it was low-level burning the rest of the day. The next day it started up again in the morning and took hours to get under control and continued to burn for most of the day. That's when I found this post.

I started the regimen described in the link on Friday morning and have been doing really well so far. I saw my cornea doctor this morning (I'd last seen him about three months ago when all of this started) and he said that most of the erosion is healed and that he's never seen such a drastic improvement before. My eye feels mostly better - I've been sleeping with the hydration mask on for the last few nights and I haven't had any flare-ups since I started TheraTears. I do feel like there's a slight burning from time to time, and every once in a while when I'm doing a compress I do feel the "foreign body sensation" a bit, but not as severely as I had before. My eyes still feel pretty dry when I wake up but as soon as I start the TheraTears regimen they feel more comfortable. I'm still doing compresses as close to 3x per day as I can, and still scrubbing my eyelids with baby shampoo every day as this hopefully will help prevent more duct clogging.

I'm cautiously optimistic. It does seem, right now, that TheraTears is as effective as OP says. I will also say that this is the most frequent eyedrop regimen I've ever embarked on/stuck with, so it could also just be that more regular lubrication is working wonders, regardless of the brand. I don't know, but I'm sticking with the TheraTears for now.

Here are a couple of other products I've been using:

Eye compress/mask. This is nice because you just put it on your head and don't have to sit there and hold it. Stays hot for about 8-10 minutes and pretty warm for another 10 or so after that. I heat this up for 23 seconds and listen to a podcast or something while it does its thing. Goal is 3x a day but I often can only manage 1 or 2.

USB heated eye mask. As many people have pointed out, this doesn't put out enough heat to be a substitute for other compresses, but I figure some heat is better than no heat, right? Sometimes I put this on at bedtime, set for 30 minutes. At some point later if I wake up after it shuts off, I switch to the hydration mask.

Systane overnight ointment. I put a blob of this in after the last TheraTears round for the day, right before sleep.

Genteel Severe Gel. I hit it with this any time it's feeling a little dry and/or fatigued, and I'm in between TheraTears rounds. I use this one if I can afford to have a blurry eye for a few minutes, but if I'm really busy I just go with regular Systane Complete drops.

If anyone is experiencing anything similar to what I've described, try this stuff. And with all of the treatments I've talked about (drops, compresses, lid scrubs), BE CONSISTENT. I know they are a pain in the ass and take up a lot of time but when I look at all the times things have gotten out of control with my eyes (I've had issues with chalazions for almost 20 years now) it's usually when I'm not being good about routines and hygiene.

I don't have a local physician recommendation, but I can tell you that using the best eye drops post-surgery is critical.

I used these as often as my eyes needed them (as often as every 15 minutes for the couple of days post-surgery). They're very expensive, much more expensive than the big bottles, but you're spending $4k on the surgery don't cheap out on the drops. :)

Best of luck - 5 years later it's the best money I've ever spent and I still have 20/15 vision.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this large of response, thank you.

Backpack

• I'll probably just go ahead and do this. Every time I ask for help, people always say to dump this rain cover.
  
  Tent/Sleep
  
  
• The only extra bag in the tent bag is the one for the stakes. I just weighed it. It's only 2g, might as well keep it.
  
• It's a ProLite Large. It is very bulky and heavy. I'm waiting on a good deal on a large XLite. I tried a Z Lite and it didn't seem like a good fit for me.
  
  Cooking
  
  
• This is a very cheap cooking set. It's a .5 L and 1 L pot set.
  
• I've split the fuel and cannister on the list.
  
  Tools
  
  
• I'm on the fence about the Platypus vs just carrying 2 Smart water bottles. I'll probably end up with the bottles. EDIT: I'm getting rid of the Platypus. Going with plastic bottles.
  
• I'm not even sure what's in the first aid kit, I'll probably end up making my own that weighs a bit less.
  
• I wear contacts. The glasses would be a backup in case my eyes get irritated. I may buy one of these. Seems like a good option.
  
• The bear bagging kit includes the bag(48g), 50 foot of cord (51g), rock bag (3g), mini carabiner (2g)
  
• Fixed trekking poles, forgot to put as worn. Thanks
  
  Clothing
  
  
• I split the clothing categories.
  
• My only concern with extra clothes is having clothes to wear in town while washing them. I planned to just swap clothing sets every time I hit a town.
  
• You're probably right on leaving the balaclava. I've just heard of it getting really cold and windy when you're up above 12,000 feet.
  
• Added the down jacket to the "To-buy" list.
  
• I really like my rain jacket. It works perfectly.
  
  Electronics
  
  
• I'd like to use my phone for navigation and as entertainment at the end of the day (books). There is going to be a few 6 day stretches between towns on the CT so I'd like to be sure that I'll have enough battery to get me through.
  
  Missing
  
  
• I've been told that the Colorado Trail is very well marked so I'm sure I can get by with my phone and data book (I added the data book to the tools section).
  
• I have the bear can but I'm not sure I'll even get a permit so I'm not bothering making a list.
  
• The cold weather gear is for the CT. Will definitely look into lightening up on my down jacket though.
  
  Thanks a lot for the info. I'll definitely take this all into consideration.

Have you considered any dietary changes to see if that may help? I say this with full understanding of how hard it can be, I have been cutting things out/experimenting with what works best for my various autoimmune conditions for the last 5 years.

I have been on an elimination diet called the Autoimmune Protocol for over a year now. I think cutting out all grains and soy is the best thing I’ve ever done for my health.

I also take a medication called cevemeline to increase tear and saliva production and it helps tremendously! I added a sea buckthorn oil supplement and it does seem to help, along with lots of preservative-free eye drops. My doctor recommends those because they have the added flax seed oil to help lubricate the eyes naturally.

I hope you find something that works for you, this disease is the worst! Sending big hugs <3

Sorry one more thing, I carry around a bunch of glasses cleaners too (just the wipes). I throw them everywhere. Cleaning your glasses whenever you get the chance HELPS tremendously as well.

I haven't personally tried this, but I know people who have and have enjoyed it, but consider looking into NerdWax! It seems it could help your glasses w/o nose pieces problem.

I also feel that asian flat nose problem, haha. Good luck OP :)

​

Is Girlsplaywow is a jerk even a proper ENglish? We'll have to consult the higher ups on this one. Personally you seem like a super cool gal. I hope I can get to know you better at some point :)

Stay frosty!!

These glasses would really help my eyes out because I spend all day staring at a computer screen. -_-

As someone who used to work in optics the best thing to do is to go to your opticians and ask for them to be adjusted, this will stop them slipping.

If you put them on your head when you are not using them then don't! this spreads the sides apart meaning that they wont fit snug to your head and will slip.

Another thing try and make sure you take them off with two hands and pull forward, when taking off with one hand it tends to again bend one side out.

Also you can get these, they work very well:

I hope this helps a little :)

This is the link to the one I got costs a lot less. Simichrome 390050 All Metal Polish Tube - 1.76 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YUQ4E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_W.vKAbHYWEWSK

And here's the exact lens cleaner spray. Set of 2 Carl Zeiss Lens Cleaning Spray 2oz - 60ml Travel Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFD6KAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8bwKAbYQA3VMW

A couple things that I've read here that I want to clear up. The fresnal ridges are not on the side of the lens that you look through, they are on the other side so you're not sanding that down you're sanding down a side that is supposed to be smooth. If the scratches on your lens are not visible in the hmd then obviously you don't *need to do anything, unless you're like me and just can't stand scratches.

Proceed with caution but a pro tip - it doesn't matter. You'll be happier after the scratches are gone. Also get yourself a small thumb sized led flashlight. You can hold it in near the lenses to better see the scratches. Enjoy the clarity...

Thank you ♥️ my doses were as follows:
Month 1:
20mg
Month 2 & 3:
40mg
Month 4:
80mg

Luckily I never really popped my pimples so I never got deep scars; only hyperpigmentation. I avoid the sun like the plague so that's going away on its own.

​

I found these to be a much cheaper version, better design than the dorky/bulky construction ones. A bit too good to be driving with. A good blue/green blocker will block all the light, so you won't see a green signal. That's your street test. A lot of glasses out there don't do what they say (but might be useful for driving at night).

F.lux is really good, though Iristech blocks more of the the spectrum that ought to be. However, f.lux is ineed the free one, and not bad in and of itself.

I feel you. I'm surprised there aren't more options for some sort of clip on nose pads for classes without them. I don't wear glasses but these or these might help if you end up getting a pair without pads?

also some of the pairs they have do have the pads

the raybans you linked look good though, very popular look now

I like the microfiber cloths that aren't fluffy. I use them to clean my glasses as well as my phone and tablets, so I'm picky about ones that don't leave streaks. Costco sells a kit for glasses that comes with two generously sized cloths. This kit comes with eyeglasses cleaner, but it has a nice big cloth, and this is a big cloth in a nice little protective pouch. I have all of these, and they have held up over several years. The last one actually comes in a few different sizes.

https://www.amazon.ca/Systane-Lid-Wipes-Eyelid-Cleansing/dp/B0087PBSJM?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Systane EyeCleansing wipes.
Technically they're for eye makeup but I find they do a good job with my whole face and are quite big.

It's a contact solution company so they're big on sterile solutions and gentle on eyes.

I'm with you... just bought some super cheap felix gray imitators on Amazon. Haven't received them yet, but the reviews are pretty good.

Yep! These are the ones I got. I liked the clear lenses better because they don't really mess with colors.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MQ5PQHO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_WUQ-zb2VMJD70

Alcohol can be corrosive but it seems others use it with no issues. I bought some Zeiss lens cleaner spray for the screens I own like my phone, 3DS, iPad, laptop, etc. It's worked well.

Edit: Sorry, didn't link originally. It is alcohol free.

This is what I’ve been using. My eyes got super dry especially in the evenings and at night but I use these drops 2-4x a day and they’ve really helped. Bonus! They don’t burn like that crap visine.

I second this info. I worked for optometrists for several years and that is also what they all said. It is always good to get an eye exam, but here are some tricks you can try before spending too much money: 1. Take a short break for 4-5 minutes every hour to look away from your screen and bink/close your eyes. 2. Get some eye drops like Optive, Blink, or Systain Ultra (my favorite) and use them during those breaks (at least 3 times a day, more if needed). If you live in the US you can get these at a local drug store, and probably get a smaller/cheaper size to start out to see if it helps.

Have you tried Retaine Eye drops? My dry eyes stem from my eyelid oil glands not producing enough oil. Retaine essentially supplies my eyes with that oil and dry eyes during the day has gotten dramatically better. They're a little expensive, but worth it for day time relief.

I don't know of any, but if you need help with eye strain, I recommend getting a pair of computer glasses. I personally use these https://www.amazon.com/Gunnar-Optiks-PPK-00101-Advanced-Compatibility/dp/B004FN1AES/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1466296372&sr=8-21&keywords=gunnar+glasses

What I like about the drops is they do not make your vision blurry like the gel or moisturizing drops. I’ve tried many brands of drops by the way.

Phrasing!

Edit: Okay, I think I was just happy to see my first Archer reference of the day. I'll try again.

Do they make Quietus for elk?

These help me a lot!

Hope this helps!

Defogging product is your best bet. The EG2's have huge vents (annoyingly large enough that snow and water fall through the top easily) so venting is not the issue.

I use Cat Crap myself, you just spread it on with your fingers and wipe smooth with a cloth. If you're worried about scratches though you could try this it works alright, not as good as cat crap. The only annoying thing is you have to apply it before hand as it needs several hours to dry afterwards.

Buy one of these and you can read while laying flat on your back. They're called prism glasses and yes, I have a pair :)

Here ya go boys.

I wish I had a good answer. I struggle with a version of this myself. I am fine all day but use eye drops at night and any time I wake up in the middle of the night.

My doctor says mine is dry eyes from digital eye strain. He says he can see the dry cracks on my eyes.

Sigh.


Do you think it’s the lack of sleep or are those other hours spent staring at a lot of blue light?

Here’s what I’m doing:

Phone on warm all the time. F.lux in my computer.

Bulletproof Eye Armour.

Microwavable Eye Mask for Moist Heat

Eye Drops with oil in them

Eye Ointment

I use this at night.

And Gunnar blue blocking lenses.


Sigh. It all helps a little and nothing has made it all go away.


My eye doctor recommends the miBo eye treatment and I’m seriously contemplating it. I live in a small town and it’s a hour each way so I haven’t quite gotten around to it buts it’s been bad enough lately I’m about to get my buns in gear. Each treatment is $150 or 200 but he does a package that is normally $600 for $450 for upfront payment. I can’t recall if it’s 3 or 4 treatments. Not covered by insurance.

Hope some of this helps. Good luck.

The only thing I haven't seen around here is to bring individual use eye drops. My GF got lasik a couple years ago so she needs these things, especially w all the dust.

Thought only she'd use em, but our whole group was pretty amped to lube up the eyeballs, so we kept the box in the locker for all to use.

Get some Cat Crap. It comes in a paste or spray and works great. I use it on glasses, goggles and swim masks.

Have you ever tried gel eye drops? I used them at night because I sleep with my eyes cracked open. It was causing serious dryness. Works pretty well.

I use these, and I find them at second hand stores sometimes (1.2 oz):

https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/29011/

I hear Dollar Store has them.

Amazon has a few that also come in around 1 ~ 1.5 oz:

I don't have this, but I've been hearing a lot of Quietus commercials and was going to recommend you look into it until I read the reviews. Apparently someone is just selling expensive swamp gas!

Edit: spelling

I actually bought some from Amazon last week, and I have been cautiously testing them out. This means I overstepped the two hour mark by up to 20 minutes. So far, so good. I am off from work all next week so I will
do more in depth testing then, when there's no risk of impacting my work.

I'll post the link to the glasses I purchased in a few.

Hello fellow 4-eyes struggler :)! I prefer glasses because I have pretty dry eyes and wearing contacts irritates the heck out of me in a pool hall filled with smoke.

I did some research and stumbled upon this product called 'Nerd Wax' on Amazon and it looks promising. It looks like chapstick but it's a wax that you apply on the nose pad of your glasses to keep it in place.

I just recently ordered it and it should be arriving today or tomorrow - which means I do not have first-hand experience with it (yet), but reviews are decent. A tip to clean off all the dirt and oil off the nose pad before applying. The only downside is the little guy is around $10 bucks.

Edit: added amazon link

No personal experience with this product, but I've heard Nerdwax helps a lot of people.

my glasses are assholes. (obviously not literally because that would be gross)

Thank you for the contest! Your pewbz are sparkly.

Well you should really go seen an ophthalmologist for a check up at least once to make sure it's nothing serious. If it's just plain dry eye you still need to find the cause. Gunk in your eyes in the morning (stringy yellow, crusted over) could be bleph, conjunctivitis, allergies... different causes have different treatments.
 

If your eyes burn or sting frequently it's helpful to do warm compresses twice a day. Terry cloth in water as warm as you can tolerate over closed eyes for 5-10 mins. If it's bleph you need to do frequent lid hygiene with lid wipes and if it's dry eye syndrome you need to determine what kind it is because not all eyedrops are equal, some address insufficient lipids in your tear film and some are merely hyperosmolar; if it's autoimmune you'll need to consider restasis or another cyclosporine eyedrop. So my advice would be to see an ophth once for a screening (for peace of mind) and see what he/she says. Then if it's nothing serious you can just carry on treatments by yourself.
 

Oh, and they have moisture chamber goggles for people who can't fully close their lids but that looks so uncomfortable. A regular eyemask can help most people (I've tried but they end up on my floor cuz I toss and turn in bed), but most are designed so poorly they hurt my ears. These kao masks are so dang comfortable you could potentially just reuse/recycle them for night use and chuck them if they get old or dirty. Eye ointments are also recommended to prevent them drying out as you sleep.

I use these OTG goggles and they work fine, other than the occasional fogging issue (on my glasses, not the goggles). For the fogging, I use Cat Crap on the glasses. This clears up any issue.

I think the theraspecs are FL-41.

Edit: confirmed they are: https://www.theraspecs.com/fl-41-glasses/

Btw you can get a non-prescription pair of theraspecs for $100 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F8QIKF8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fIt9Bb0Y7DTHY

seconding everything this guy says, though i use optive preservative free instead of the modudose. and i never leave home without the contact lens inserters, makes it so much easier and hygenic to refresh your lenses with new fluid.

There's a ton of them I think this is the one I have

nerd wax

I've seen a few people swear by this stuff, but I haven't tried it personally

Unfortunately, it's just a bad fit for you. I agree with having custom nosepads made by professionals. A cheaper option is Nerdwax
which may not work as well if you have oily skin or Anti-Slip Grips .

I use Nerd wax. It's not perfect but good enough for what I need it for.
