Have you tried looking through some of those German forums yet?

Andrew Turner67 said:Aha, I see where you're coming from... so what you're saying is there aren't any lenses available for us to wear when we're younger?

Look, those links that @Carl Castillo69 and I dropped are specifically for you, to fix your prescription.

These lenses get implanted after you have cataract surgery , they’re multifocal. Basically, they're designed for people dealing with age-related farsightedness—presbyopia—so you can finally ditch those reading glasses once and for all. Since this isn't just some quick laser fix, we're talking about actual anesthesia here; they pull your natural lens out and swap it for a synthetic one. If you go through with this, you'll end up with the stuff I linked in my first post; whether it's Verisign, Flex, or those Cachet lenses you mentioned, those are specifically meant to be put in right after cataract surgery.

Here’s a breakdown of how the whole thing goes down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzzAhcthhKo

http://www.light.com/verisign-implant-leca-871 Look, I’m pretty sure this is what you were actually talking about. Your actual eye lens—the one physically inside your eye—gets swapped out for a new artificial one. It’s got absolutely nothing to do with contact lenses; that’s a totally different way to fix your vision, just like laser surgery. This specific procedure is usually for people dealing with really high prescriptions or if their cornea isn't ideal for laser stuff. Basically, if the cornea is an issue for lasers, this is the move.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/eye-exam - "You qualify for a driver's license if your vision reaches at least 20/25 acuity and you have a normal visual field" - based on this, there's zero chance here. This person doesn't qualify because their vision hits only 70% in one eye (you explicitly said "visual acuity is 0.7") - 70%, plus the visual field isn't even normal, so no way.

My folks looked into this stuff too. I'm 15, just like you, and my prescription is sitting at -5.50, but we just weren't feeling it...

Is there actually any legit research out there on this? Honestly, I’m with you—I don't buy it for a second. It just doesn't add up.

They seriously need to provide a full medical history...

Need some help with Word (2003)
I can't figure out how to get my cursor to move horizontally like this: - . I need to type up some text using that specific format.

Thanks 🙂

It keeps popping up with stuff about cancer too --> http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab...w=1280&bih=881 (it's mentioned everywhere in relation to some kind of carcinoma....)
Hopefully someone who actually knows what they're talking about will weigh in (maybe a mod like Felix the Cat or vividsailor7)

Later 🙂

I’m feeling the exact same way. I was just venting to some other teachers in my grade, and they’re all saying the same thing—it happens to them constantly. Like, one teacher will say, "Okay, solve tasks A and B," and they'll end up blurting out "1 and 9" instead. Sometimes even something simple like "lunch today" comes out totally mangled. 🙂 It might be because I grew up bilingual, or maybe it's just a random glitch in my brain, but sometimes I'll accidentally slip into English mid-sentence and say "The phone is ringing" when I'm trying to speak American. 🤣 Plus, my eyesight is absolute garbage right now—huge prescription and I'm dealing with early-stage glaucoma... :/

frozenranger87 said:So basically, every single fall or winter, I start breaking out with these tiny little bumps all over my chest. No clue what causes it or why, maybe an allergy to some fabric or whatever. 🤷 It’s nothing major, they aren't even that gross, just a few spots in the exact same place every time. They show up on my upper back too. Anyone dealt with this before or know how to make it stop? Thanks. 🙂

You wearing some gold chain or something like that? Might be your body wash acting up, or maybe some shirt is irritating your skin? 🤷

H53.5 Color Vision Disorders

Honestly, looks a lot like seborrheic dermatitis to me. You gotta go see a dermatologist ASAP.

94 is your lucky number 😉

It’s a total waste of cash. It’s just your run-of-the-mill anti-reflective coating, nothing special. Honestly, just spend less time staring at your monitor and stick to this rule: 20 - 20 - 20. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 seconds away, about 20 feet out.

I just had an MRI on a 3T machine, and everything looked totally fine—pancreas looks clean, no suspicious spots or anything weird showing up at all.

The doctor thinks it’s most likely just impaired glucose tolerance.
So, diet, hitting the gym, that kind of thing.

But honestly? I'm still low-key freaking out. What if they missed something in the scan? Is it really that "hard" to pin down a tumor like that???

Later!

Man, I'm so glad it's not a tumor. Just follow what the doctor tells you and you'll be fine. 🙂

I’m gonna be a doctor, period. I’m just a freshman right now, but trust me, I know exactly where this is going. 🤷

jaderanger66 said:I mean, how much control can they actually have over her if the parents can't even keep an eye on the kid during the day?

Look, I went to elementary school with this kid who had Type 1, and he was rocking an insulin pump. He’d been dealing with diabetes since he was two years old, and you could totally tell by how he looked during PE class.
