Rocket-Boy Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I am pretty used to using 12x magnification to work with - but this is just plain nasty.... still - it should figure itself out in a few days.... the brain is pretty clever.... Are you considering Corneal Cross Linking? seems to be having reasonable sucess these days (don't quote me on that )Do you use the 12x magnification for surgery?I have had epi-off cross linking done on one eye but its not something I want to go through again.Took about 2 months for my pupil to stop being dilated and I was kept asleep with strong sleeping tablets for most the first week, the recovery is that bad!The eye that was done though is constantly dry and uncomfortable. Im at the age where it doesnt make much difference anymore so will wait for some very clever people to come up with something to let me see properly again.

Im at the age where it doesnt make much difference anymore so will wait for some very clever people to come up with something to let me see properly again. I usually use 3.8x for smaller stuff, and a 3 - 12x operating microscope for some stuff if it's available - my own pairs can be focussed to set the working distance - clearly I don't actually own an operating microscope - just the surgical loupes because mine have corrections built in to suit me - lets just say I think I should own shares in Zeiss... I guess the next step for you (unless something new comes up) is a corneal transplant - not my favorite idea at all... Right - on to more pleasant topics please...

eddy Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Is a pretty neat solution too. Haven't seen anyone get that close to straight, round and mostly even on first go. Must be the spectacles...Did he say he built them? He is talking hogwash. He sent them to Johan Bornman to build which is why Jason only needed an hour to sort them......

Are you considering Corneal Cross Linking? seems to be having reasonable sucess these days (don't quote me on that ) Cross linking is one of the procedures I had in my right eye. Doc, you have to bear in mind that I've had severe keratoconus in both eyes. Have needed eye correction (glasses) since I was 14. Wore hard contacts from 18 till late 30's but I can't wear them anymore. Cornea transplant and lasik in the left eye has left me with close to 20/20 if lubricated. So to have most of my vision without any correction is awesome for me. I just have to get to the stage where that clever brain eye 'accommodation' adjustment happens at speed over jumps etc. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Bizkit031, Rocket-Boy and 1 other 4

Don't know how you guys can handle anything like that. I know it drives me dilly when I try glasses on and have to adjust to the lenses. But to have stuff look blurry and off kilter... Dunno how you do it. Hope it works out, bro Rocket-Boy and RockCoach 2

I love riding so even if I have to go a bit slower over technical stuff than before it doesn't really worry me. I find that I don't notice it as much riding at night for some reason. If you want to know what it feels like, smear Vaseline over one of your sunglasses lenses. Then go ride.
