mentioned it a little bit in the past but I've been struggling with deteriorating vision quality in one eye (my good eye, the one that before this happened I depended on most); my ophthalmologist diagnosed keratoconus but then said it wasn't, and was basically like "I dunno, are you getting enough sleep?" last time I saw him with my concerns…I'm seeing a new ophthalmologist soonish for an evaluation but I'm anxious he won't be able to offer solutions either, or that they'll be prohibitively expensive. I'm scared of losing more vision and losing the ability to do the things I enjoy like drawing and playing videogames and writing stories with friends, not to mention a bunch of more functional stuff. I'm trying to be chill about it and take it in stride, to convince myself it's not really so bad, but I am scared. I am.

#i mean i'm still functional so i'm always like its fine!!! #but its kinda not fine #and i worry how much worse it could get #also im gonna have to call off work for the damn appointment and im anxious about that too #i never call off and im trying not to put work before my health but hsdjfkfk

KC Crosslinking - Should I be concerned?

Hello everyone. In October 2022 I first noticed my vision was starting to get worse but it was only slight changes. I put it off and I regret it because I was lazy and did not see an optometrist until July of 2023. When I went to my optometrist (Kaiser) that summer she said I may have KC and she referred me to an ophthalmologist to test for it. (All screenings and visits were with Kaiser) A few months later, I was officially diagnosed with KC in October of 2023 and I was expecting them to give me the green light on cross linking as they told me it is a progressive disease. From up until 2019 I had near perfect vision in both of my eyes and my Ks were regular 44-45. Right now my Ks in my right eye is 54 from when they screened me in October of 2023. My left eye is my better eye and its Ks are around 46. I went back during this year in March 2024 and my ophthalmologist still did not give me the green light on cross linking because he said my Ks are the same as before when I went back a few months in October. Is it possible that my KC has stabilized without cross linking? I am scared because in 2019 my vision was near perfect and I'm afraid that my vision will only get worse without getting cross-linking to prevent it. But my ophthalmologist said he cannot green light me on the surgery unless he sees more recent changes. But this concerns me because of my history of near 20/20 vision just a few years ago pre-covid and my terrible vision now. Right now I am 22 years old and this leaves me with a few questions because I am afraid of losing my vision because he is making me "wait for changes" in order to get cross linking done. Should I get a 2nd opinion? Do you think there is a chance of my KC stabilizing at age 22? (This sounds really unlikely when he told me that!) What should I do? Just keep waiting? I am afraid of my KC progressing and I may lose even more of the vision that I've lost already. As of today, April 2024, my best CORRECTED vision is 20/25 in my left eye and 20/40 in my right eye. ​ submitted by /u/sprite32 [link] [comments] https://www.reddit.com/r/Keratoconus/comments/1ce5u1r/kc_crosslinking_should_i_be_concerned/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Double Vision: Should you be concerned about the problem?

Double Vision, also known as diplopia, is a vision problem where a person sees two images of a single object instead of one image. This can appear in one eye or both eyes. Double vision can be constant/intermittent, gradual/sudden either monocular or binocular and can occur in any direction (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal). Double vision can be a serious problem if left untreated. For example, if a person wants to take stairs but not able to focus, and sees double images instead of one. It can lead to dangerous injuries. If anyone is experiencing double vision, visit an eye hospital on an immediate basis. In that case, if you’re looking for an eye hospital to get your eyes examined, you should definitely consider Sharp Sight Eye Hospital in Delhi to get best treatment. Here are the several potential causes of double vision.

Refractive errors: if your eyes are experiencing a significant difference in both eyes, it can cause double vision, especially in case of astigmatism.

Strabismus: This is misalignment of the eyes, where the eyes do not point in the same direction. Due to weakness in eye muscles or nerves

Cataracts: It can cloud your eye’s lens and cause double vision. Also, it can cause many vision problems like foggy vision, blur vision, and many more.

Corneal Problems: if your cornea is affected by dryness, scarring, and if it gets thinner & changes shape (keratoconus) can lead to double vision.

Nerve Palsy: it is a condition that damages the nerves that control eye movements. It can be caused by diabetes, stroke, and other neurological conditions, that can result in double vision.

Brain disorders: Several neurological conditions or brain injuries harm your vision and affect the areas of the brain responsible for coordinating vision, leading to double vision.

Is it a common error? Experiencing some form of double vision is very common. There are many studies which claim that more than 8, 00,000 people in a year visit their doctor due to experiencing double vision.

Symptoms: Along with seeing double images, it can also have associated with other symptoms like:

Headache

Nausea

Dizziness

Blurred and foggy vision in one or both eyes.

When to visit an eye specialist?

If one is experiencing regular double vision, especially in children, if you notice squinting, tilting the head towards one side, or tries to cover one eye see through other, then it’s time to schedule an appointment with eye doctor.

If you develop eye pain & double vision, or double vision which is sudden in onset, then see an eye specialist as soon as possible. It can be more than just double vision.

Simple. Painless eye tests are done to diagnose the double vision. Depending on the cause, your ophthalmologist may ask for additional images tests like:

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

CT (Computed Tomography) Scan.

Blood tests

These tests will evaluate the whole picture of your eyes and the area around them. It can be helpful for your eye specialist to understand the problem precisely.

How is double vision treated? Double vision can be corrected by knowing what’s causing it. One should consult with an eye specialist about the cause of your double vision and how will it be corrected. The eye specialist will help you with the same concern.

How to manage double vision signs? Follow the directions your eye specialist gives you. Treatments like eye exercises, spectacles, special contact lenses or wearing eye patch will be suggested that suits the best in your case. Patients should not ignore any advice which is given by an ophthalmologist. If ignored can lead to Lazy Eye in children.

After taking treatment, how soon will I feel better? It depends on the cause. Some cases of diplopia go away on their own, while others get better once you take all the prescriptions and medicines.

Why choose Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals? Diplopia can be treated but you need to rely on eye experts to ensure that you’re getting the right treatment and medicines to save yourself from the complications. If you are wondering where to go for the same problem, you are at the right place, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals got you all covered with its best ophthalmologists and medical staff.

So apparently I have a chance of inheriting keratoconus, a degeneration of the cornea in the eye. This would explain why it's harder for me to see some things now. If I do get diagnosed with it my options are either advanced contacts, cornea transplant or LASER BEAMS TO EYEBALLLS WITH NO ANAESTHETIC (my sibling had the lasers, they're fine). Before anything happens though I'll probably get contacts. Not gonna lie though, I kinda want scleral contacts just so I can think to myself "I have bones in my eyeballs, just like my favourite dinosaur";

Unfortunately, the actual contacts are transparent, but it would so cool to have rock/bone coloured eyeballs. So yeah, a good incentive to set up my PayPal donation I guess.

I have to reschedule my eye exam until January for the insurance, which is annoying bc I’ve been needing a new prescription since the beginning of the year, but when I went in for an eye exam I ended up diagnosed w keratoconus and then had to have surgery etc. So I still need a new prescription but I’m not about to pay a dumb amount of money, when I’ve already paid like $3500 on that stuff this year alone. I shall have to wait.

Keratoconus is a condition that affects the cornea, the transparent front surface of the Eye Surgeon. It is characterized by thinning and bulging of the cornea, which leads to distorted vision. As an ophthalmologist, I often diagnose keratoconus through a thorough eye examination, including evaluating the patient's medical history and conducting specialized tests like corneal topography and tomography. These tests provide detailed information about the shape and thickness of the cornea, helping me identify any irregularities.

[hellyeahheroes]

on 6th may Kentarou Miura, creator of Berserk, a brutal dark fantasy manga generally considered one of the best mangas of all time, has passed away. He was only 54 and suffering from health issues caused by exhausting work schedule of a manga artist which were causes of many delays in his work. His death was kept a secret unti earlier this week.

In last 24 hours people associated with ComicGate hate grou have started posting videos and tweets in which they use Miura’s death to talk how the work culture of manga industry is good actually. Talk about how American comics should adopt it and how younger comics creators, minority creators or creators with any artstyle that isn’t hyperrealistic and superdetailed are “entitled” and “don’t want to put in the work”, how they “only got hired for checking checkboxes” and should “put more time into working and less into tweeting”. I really hope by now I should not explain how disgusting I find the attempt at dismissing someone’s hard work by assuming them being a minority automatically makes them a “diversity hire” who wasn’t hired for their merit. Or how scummy it is to tell creators to shut up and get back to work when they dare to speak against your toxic behavior on twitter. Now let’s talk about the supposedly “good” work culture of manga.

Let’s start with the the fact this “good work culture” of manga literally killed one of their greatest creators at the age of 54. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” would make it that whenever Miura took a break he was not able to let public know how he is spending his time off without being mocked for playing video games instead of working by his own fandom. Let’s talk how in this “good work culture” Tetsuo Hara, of Fist of the North Star fame, is still forced to work his ass off despite being sixty years old and diagnosed with keratoconus that is likely going to take his eyesight away. Let’s talk how in this “good work culture”Yoshiki Yakaya still has to work on Guyver despite also being sixty and his health issues being so frequent his fans are basically expecting announcment of his death at any time. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” forced Masashi Kishimoto to put his honeymoon on hold for ten are-you-fucking-kidding-me years because he was not allowed to stop making Naruto for even a week, less alone a month. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” forced Akira Toriyama to keep working of Dragonball, disregarding his desire to end the series multiple times and forcing him to bring back Goku when he wanted to pass the title of the protagonist to Gohan until Toriyama came to hate his own creation. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” turned Bleach into a story of creator breakodown happenning in front of the entire readership base as the editorial squeezed every last bit of passion and creativity out of Tite Kubo until there was nothing left and still forced him to work until they decided he is done. Let’s talk about how this “good work culture” seems to trainfandom to follow only the brand and not the creator, meaning that an accomplished creator has as slim chances on hacing a new project be succesful as their most popular one, if not lesser chances as it is likely their new work will be rejected simply for not being their old work. And how it likely kept many creators endlesslydragging out their most succesful work or trying to tie to it as for every Yoshiki Takaya, whose succes of Hunter x Hunter overshadowe his first big success Yu Yu Hakusho, there are dozen stories of failiure even from big names like Kishimoto and Toriyama.

And don’t give me some pathetic talk about passion. We live in capitalism, your passion is a thing someone is going to exploit. Tell you if you “really” are passionate you should squeeze some free labor. manipulate you to make as much money out of you, your physical and mental health be damned. We see the same thing and the same rhetorics perpetuated in video game industry and how it leads to crunch, burnouts, mental breakdowns. And how then the studio executives write off those they broken as “stress casualties” and fire everyone anyway.

Creators are people. Actual living, breathing human beings. If you are spewing shit how comics hsould adopt the toxic work culture of manga, how that toxic work culture killing a man is a good thing....you’re just saying you don’t see creators as people. Just mindless drones made to work themselves to death for your entertainment. And you calling anyone else “entitled” is a height of irony unheard of before.

Personal announcement: I'm about to go on medical leave for two weeks, possibly six. I will not be able to see well during that time, so I don't know how active I'll be on tumblr or if I'll be writing. I'm hoping that I'll still be able to do fandom stuff in some way. I'll be able to read fics on my phone, at least, but comments are likely to be less effusive than you may have come to expect from me because I absolutely despise writing on my phone. Or maybe I'll use text to speech and it will be an absolute mess, I don't know yet. But I still love you, and I will miss you, and hopefully I'll be back.

Detailed explanation below.

I have a condition called keratoconus in both of my eyes. It was diagnosed in my left eye when I was fourteen, and in my right eye when I was in college. The condition causes the corneas to be misshapen, slightly cone-shaped, which makes them thinner than the average cornea and there's a threat of perforation. The warped surface means that my vision is blurry, yes, but also I see a lot of things double and triple, especially high contrast things like black text on a stark white background or vice versa. Halos around light sources at night are also a problem. And I’m sensitive to light, but I keep my house dim and wear a visor when I get out, and that’s enough to handle it.

By the time my right eye was diagnosed, my left was so bad that it could not be corrected anymore. It had deteriorated very quickly in the previous five or six years. So having the right eye diagnosed as well felt like a sentence of blindness. Like a death sentence. I was terrified. I cried in my eye doctor's office. Fortunately, the right eye has not gotten that bad. It stabilized toward the end of my twenties or early thirties.

Still, my eyes are bad enough that glasses don't work to correct them. I have to use hard contacts. The contacts kind of replace the corneas, resting over the top, but they also shape the corneas slightly. Wearing them lets me see, but they can also have bad effects on the eyes if I'm not careful.

I had a cornea transplant in my left eye in 2013. I was so hopeful that I would finally be able to see out of that eye after years of it simply being lazy and wandering away. Unfortunately, the transplant was not a panacea. Even with a new, scleral hard contact, my left eye is only about 20/100. But it's better than it used to be, and it's not as lazy anymore. I can tell that it's actually contributing to my vision, and if I cover it for any reason, I get a little sick and dizzy.

But the right eye does pretty much all of the work. Without the right eye, I cannot see to read or drive or do my usual daily activities, like my customer service job. Certainly one of my greatest fears is still losing vision in that eye and no longer being able to function as I'm used to. I would rather go deaf, even though I love music very, very much.

Back when I first started talking about a transplant with my eye surgeon in Indianapolis (oh yeah, I'm fortunate enough to live two hours away from one of the foremost experts on keratoconus in the world), we also discussed a procedure for the right eye, called cross-linking. It was experimental at that time. They talked about getting me into study. But with regular visits and checks, when it seemed like my right eye was pretty much stabilized, it seemed like I wouldn't need it after all.

I had another one of those check-ups last week. There, the eye doctor told me that they were worried about the right eye, after all. There's something called...post anterior float, I think? Something like that. In any case, my right eye has crossed a line where it started to be concerning. Even though as far I could tell my vision was stable, and my numbers might have even improved since my last visit, they saw enough difference between when I first started seeing them in 2013 and now in 2020 that they wanted to do a deeper check.

So, I need to take out the contact in my right eye to let the eye revert to normal. This will take about two weeks. I have an appointment on 8/11/2020. Tomorrow is 7/29/20. Between those two dates, I will not wear my contacts.

On 8/11, my dad is going to drive down with me to Indy to get my eye checked. Then, if they decide I need to go ahead and get the cross-linking done, we'll do that the next day. It's not experimental anymore, so that's a good thing. What they'll do is basically spray riboflavin in the eye and then shine a special UV light on it. This strengthens the links between the proteins of the cornea and causes them to harden. The point of this is to stop the progression of keratoconus, kind of freezing my cornea the way it is now, so I won't need a transplant in the future.

If we do that, I won't be able to put my contact back in for another month.

So I won't be able to see. For two weeks, possibly (probably) six weeks. I am very depressed about this. I was a little surprised at how viscerally my body and my psychology reacted to this, honestly. It felt like that diagnosis in college. Like a sort of death sentence. Even though it should be temporary, it's a lot of my old fears rising up and grabbing me by the throat again. I don't want to lose my vision, not even for a few weeks.

But this is all about prevention and keeping it from getting worse. I have to do it. Even though I really don't want to.

I've been in a morbid mood all weekend, counting down to the days until I wouldn't be able to see anymore. Now I'm counting down the hours. When I woke up this morning, I thought, completely unironically, "The Dawn of the Final Day." All in caps like that.

Every single time I put in my hard contact in my right eye, it feels like a miracle. I can't see, then I can see again. I've always been so, so grateful for modern medicine, for the hard plastics that technology has created, for the specialized processes and all the work that's come before to make my life as livable and enjoyable as it is. Even twenty years ago, this condition would be much, much harder to live with. But as it is, I've gotten along quite well for many years.

And now I'm losing my miracle. Temporarily, certainly. But it hurts. I'm kind of in mourning.

I'll be okay, I'm sure. But there it is.

How can I help him?

Hey there! My husband was diagnosed last year but we couldn’t afford the treatment. This year he went back to the eye doctor and it’s progressing and the doctor says we can’t wait anymore. We are going to do what we can even if we go into more debt to do so. He was just diagnosed with Non alcoholic fatty liver disease this year and is pretty down with everything. My question is what do I need to help him? He HATES anything near his eye so that’s gonna be fun… but other than helping him with that what can I do to prepare and support him.

[alarrylarrie]

you said we could rant in your inbox and im 10 mi it’s away from a breakdown so here goes. when i was 17 i was diagnosed with keratoconus. my cornea is the shape of a cone and normal glasses/contacts don’t correct my vision. it’s so bad in my left eye that i can’t read anything at all. and lately my right is progressively getting worse and i’m terrified of going blind. there are treatments but i’m on medicaid and it doesn’t cover anything vision related and i just. don’t know what to do. (1/2)

(2/2) i’m so scared that i won’t be able to drive, or get a well paying job without the ability to read or write, that i’ll lose fan fiction and movies. or if i can something done, it’ll come at the cost of drowning in medical debt on top of my credit card debt. mostly i just wish our health care system wasn’t as terrible as it is

**********************

Oh gosh. Oh pal. I’m so sorry. I know how easy it is to kind of spiral too, like you have one thought and it just leads you down a trail. Let’s start with a deep breath, okay?

Okay. Medicaid not covering vision is complete and utter ridiculousness. I’ll never understand why our system fails so many people on such a consistent basis. I hate that it comes to this, but have you considered reaching out to friends and family? Maybe making a GoFundMe? If you explain your story, maybe people might be able to help? Are there vision assistance programs? I hope so. Keep me posted. And keep breathing. All my love.

so i don't have any retina issues. the retina doc thinks it's my migraines. so i need to see a migraine specialist, like i've been trying to do, and i gotta see a keratoconus specialist (eye condition i was diagnosed with last year)

Oh I almost forgot to tell you guys something! It's sorta important, and I've already told people on Instagram and my spam, so it wouldn't be right to keep it from y'all.

I've recently been diagnosed with keratoconus, which basically means my corneas are thin & shaped like a cone instead of a dome (which means they're bulging out), which is why my vision's been really bad (and getting progressively worse) for over a year.

Bc of this diagnosis, I've been trying to stay off my phone as much as I can, so that I won't mess up my eyes. I'm going to an eye care center tomorrow so that they can do a topography of my eyes and actually see (hehehe see) what's been going on :D

So uhh if I'm not very active for the next couple of days (or even weeks), I apologize. I'm putting my health first, because frankly I want to be able to see.

I'll still be on here and on IG, but I won't be very active. As in I might be on maybe a couple of minutes out of the day. If you'd like to chat with me, my messages are still open!!!! I can still talk, but I might take longer to respond.

Thank you for understanding! I love you guys :] 💜

Kimberly I. McCain Studt, 66, of Allegheny Township passed on to her eternal home Friday, October 1, 2021, while at her home.

She was born August 16, 1955, and grew up in Leechburg.

From an early age, Kim professed faith in Christ as her Savior and lived out that faith throughout her life. Kim knew she wanted to be a teacher, and her first students were her four younger siblings.

As she entered high school, she began teaching in Bible school at Kiski Bible Church and was involved with the Child Evangelism Fellowship chapter in her area.

Kim was diagnosed with Keratoconus at the age of 16, but despite the physical pain and daily challenges of her diagnosis, she honed her abilities instead of focusing on her disability.

Kim graduated with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Bob Jones University in May 1977.

The following summer, she received two corneal transplants and began her teaching career educating students in Christian schools in the area. It was while teaching in Washington that Kim met and eventually married her husband, Robert Studt.

She went on to teach for 35 years, retiring to homeschool her children. She continued to be involved in education, though, through Huntington Learning Centers afterschool program and helping local homeschooling families complete their annual school district evaluation paperwork.

Kim was an active member of Legacy Baptist Church in Houston.

Kim will forever be beloved and remembered by her family, her husband, Robert B. Studt; her daughter, Rebekah Sheets (wife of Matthew Sheets) of Canonsburg; and her son, Matthew Studt of Meadow Lands.

Kim is also survived by four siblings, Sally Brokke (wife of Dr. Daniel Brokke) of South Point, Ohio; Rebecca Rukes (wife of Gary Rukes) of Portage, Ind.; H. Daniel McCain (wife Carol McCain) of White; and Brian McCain of Miami, Fla.

"Aunt Deedi" was much beloved by her many nieces and nephews, and their children.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Harvey James McCain and Norma Yvonne "Bonnie" Bolen McCain.

Family and friends will be received from 5 to 6 p.m., the time of service, Friday, October 8, in William G. Neal Funeral Home, 925 Allison Avenue, Washington, with Pastor Clark officiating. Burial will be private.
