I searched the subreddit and did not find any posts specific about meso-zeaxanthin and I am curious about other people's use of meso-zeaxanthin, any results or other information.

I have added meso-zeaxanthin (10 mg) to my regimen and think it has helped.

For background, I was diagnosed with wet AMD in December and have been getting injections with Avastin initially monthly and now every 8 weeks. My vision has cleared notably.

I use AREDS 2 and after reading a number of articles, I decided to add meso-zeaxanthin (10 mg daily) to my regimen. My ophthalmologist, who I like and trust very much, read two of the studies I sent him and agreed that it is a good idea, basically adding. "it couldn't hurt."

I think this has been a factor in my improved vision and the stability over the last three months. I am not discounting Avastin or the traditional AREDS 2 and will continue with them but I would like to know other people's experience and knowledge about this.

I just bought the REI CTY e2.1 and because my previous bike had a history of pinch flats that was solved by adding Tonnus inserts, I thought to get them again.

Well, I was really surprised to see that they are charging $75 per wheel, on top of the $56 per insert to install them. is it really that complicated?

I admit I know little about bike maintenance but this is surprising to me. That's about 15% of the bike cost.

This is the second time this has happened in two months.

First at Pinnacles, there was no one at the entry booths or exits to check passes (I have one) or collect fees.

Then today at Yosemite, entering at 9 AM and leaving at 4 PM, same thing. There were hundreds of people in the park and I didn't see anyone charging admission at the entrance or exit.

Is this usual?
