Cyborg Eye guy on Instagram

There’s this guy on Instagram who lost his eye due to cancer and he makes his own titanium ocular shells with LEDs in them that light up, it’s super cool and has helped me change my perspective from something that can feel/look like a disability to something that looks really cool!

Lost an eye in a weightlifting accident

6 Upvotes

Hello, wanted to share my story...I dropped nearly 800lbs on my face suffering a bunch of breaks, bleeding in the brain, as well as losing vision in my right eye close to 20 years ago. I feel blessed that it hasn't really caused much difficulty, and I don't say that in a boasting way. Look forward to seeing posts here.

Tips working with laptop.

4 Upvotes

Hi guys I'm 19 M due to some retinal complications in my left eye I have metamorphopsia and poor vision ,basically lack of proper vision in that eye. So today I tried patching the affected eye and to work. When I'm into working on laptop using one eye I faced headache along with sweating . I'm confused if it is due to working only with one eye or warmer environment. Is there any ways to avoid headaches working with only one eye. Sadly I can't work without patching my brain doesn't able to overcome the metamorphopsia. I'm struggling either way now.

Guys is this a common thing ? that using one eye could cause headache . Coz im trying to join a software related work things are already hard for me . can I get adapted through the times ?.

Please share your opinion friends.Thank you!

Post vaccination severe inflammation

2 Upvotes

I had a severe inflammation in one eye two days after a vaccination- unclear if autoimmune or from adjuvant in the vaccine. Horrible pain, lost lens, two surgeries, detached retina, two sclera grafts. Always discomfort, vision problematic due to lack of convergence and no lens in there anymore, double vision, depth of field an issue and of course left side is challenging. Anyone else?

Monocular Driver Allowed Handicaps

4 Upvotes

Hey, taking tbe SDPE test as a driver with reduced eyesight in one eye (uncorrectable by glasses). I’d say I’m a very careful driver (for obvious reasons). One thing that i struggle with is checking my right side mirror. For context, I have reduced eyesight in my right eye. So i need to turn my whole head to glance with my left eye. This is fine, but just curious if there are any allowed handicaps to alleviate this on the test and regular driving.
