How to deal with tyrannical mods

How do we prevent these overzealous mods from ruining reddit? See exchange in photos. Basically ICL mod tells me I am violating rule (either I am a bot, spam or self promoting). I then call them on it and they block me for three days. What is fascinating is all these mods like to be anonymous so they can do whatever they want without any professional blowback. The problem is well intending docs that are actually trying to help are blocked for no legitimate reason. Honestly I think right answer is likely just walk away from the whole thing but what a shame as reddit could be a great forum. Id say in the least reddit should make these mods introduce themself and declare any conflict of interest. Otherwise we will continue to see people use rules to their own advantage. You don't like a competitor. Block them every time they breathe.

On that front anyone know who mods the ICL and who Wavefront Rider is. It is fascinating Wavefront Rider introduced his sub on Ophthalmogy which requires disclosure if they are a doc , patient etc. He did not disclose which category he falls in. Not only did ophthalmology reddit not block the post but the comment section is fascinating. Someone says we don't need more subs...everyone should be in ophthalmology. Ironically, wavefront rider made an ap called crostpost control. I set up a wave light plus page and he is using the same logic that someone said to him against me ie 'We don't need more subs. You should just use mine' and blocks all posts from me. I don't know any other word for this whole thing other than petty tyrants. At a loss for how to get reddit admin to pay attention or how to get these anonymous people to apply rules with some consistency and not for their own personal gain. They are ruining reddit and frankly I find the behavior cowardly and petty. Calling a spade a spade... maybe I get blocked here as well. Cest la vie

WaveLight LASIK Customized For Your Eye

Ray Tracing LASIK with WaveLight® PLUS | The Next Generation of Personalized Laser Vision Correction

If you’re researching the most advanced LASIK technology available, Ray Tracing LASIK with WaveLight® PLUS represents one of the newest approaches to personalized laser vision correction. Rather than relying primarily on a glasses prescription and traditional corneal measurements, WaveLight PLUS incorporates a sophisticated ray-tracing model of the entire optical system of the eye to create an individualized treatment plan.

At California LASIK & Eye in Sacramento, we are proud to offer WaveLight PLUS Ray Tracing LASIK to eligible patients seeking exceptional visual quality with a customized treatment designed specifically for their eyes.
What is WaveLight PLUS Ray Tracing LASIK?

WaveLight PLUS is an advanced planning technology designed to personalize LASIK using thousands of data points collected from the eye. By modeling how light travels through the entire optical system, it creates an individualized treatment profile intended to optimize visual performance.

Unlike conventional laser vision correction that primarily treats refractive error, ray tracing seeks to account for the unique optical characteristics of each patient’s eye.
Potential advantages may include:
• Highly personalized treatment planning
• Excellent refractive accuracy
• Improved quality of vision in appropriate candidates
• Reduced dependence on glasses and contact lenses
• Potential improvements in contrast sensitivity and night vision in selected patients
• State-of-the-art diagnostic technology
Every eye is different, and the best procedure depends on your anatomy, prescription, corneal health, lifestyle, and visual goals.

Who May Be a Candidate?
Ray Tracing LASIK may be appropriate for patients with:
• Nearsightedness (myopia)
• Astigmatism
• Mild to moderate farsightedness (depending on candidacy)
• Healthy corneas
• Stable vision
• A desire to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts
Not everyone is an ideal LASIK candidate. During your consultation, we perform a comprehensive evaluation using advanced diagnostic imaging to determine whether LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL, or another procedure is most appropriate.

Ming Mesh on SeaQ Original

Think this just might be the perfect bracelet for the seaq. Feel of nato but titanium. Think it pairs great with the skin diver case. Make sure to get the straight lug Ming mesh not the curved lug. Hit me with any questions. I was really on the fence before receiving but after experiencing it in the metal I like it more than I would have ever imagined. Totally different than omega mesh. This is super flexible and I believe 3d printed on a single sheet of metal with even the buckle integrated as a single piece.

Doxa 250T Graph Great White

Doxa 200T graph Topper’s Great White (full lume dial, no date, automatic). Love my original professional 250t graph but I suspect this guy will get far more wrist time than the hand wound / date version. Only minor gripe is the BOR bracelet does not pair as well with this case as it does with the original 250t graph with the new bracelet/case combo leaving a noticeable gap at the end links.

Recent Data on WaveLight Plus

WaveLight® Plus (Ray-Tracing LASIK): Recent Manuscripts & Conference Abstracts
The evidence supporting ray-tracing-guided LASIK continues to expand. While published manuscripts demonstrate excellent safety, efficacy, and refractive accuracy, recent ASCRS presentations are beginning to explore whether whole-eye ray tracing can further improve visual quality beyond conventional endpoints such as 20/20 acuity.

1. Prospective Intraindividual Comparison of Automated Ray-Tracing–Guided LASIK Versus Wavefront-Optimized LASIK
Authors: Khoramnia et al.
Study Design
Prospective contralateral-eye study
Each patient underwent:
WaveLight® Plus Ray-Tracing LASIK in one eye
Wavefront-Optimized LASIK in the fellow eye
Why It Matters
Using each patient as their own control minimizes differences in ocular anatomy, healing, and patient expectations, making this one of the strongest comparative study designs available.
Key Findings
Excellent safety in both groups
Excellent efficacy in both groups
Comparable uncorrected distance visual acuity
Excellent refractive predictability
Demonstrated that automated ray-tracing refraction can successfully replace traditional manifest refraction for treatment planning
Suggested improvements in optical quality metrics without sacrificing refractive accuracy
Clinical Takeaway
Ray-tracing appears to maintain the excellent outcomes expected from modern LASIK while providing a more individualized optical treatment.

2. International Multicenter Ray-Tracing LASIK Trial
Authors: Kanellopoulos et al.
Study Design
International multicenter prospective clinical trial
FDA-supporting study
Myopia and myopic astigmatism
Key Findings
98.1% achieved 20/20 or better
92% within ±0.50 D of target
35.8% gained one or more lines of corrected vision
Extremely high patient satisfaction
Excellent safety profile
Clinical Takeaway
This study established WaveLight Plus as a highly accurate and predictable refractive platform suitable for routine clinical practice.

3. Comparative Analysis of FDA Trials: Ray-Tracing LASIK vs Topography-Guided LASIK

Presenter: Mark C. Lobanoff, MD
Study Focus
Patient-reported outcomes after WaveLight Plus.
Outcomes Evaluated
Quality of vision
Satisfaction
Night vision
Glare
Halos
Quality of life
Why It Matters
Patients often judge success based on visual quality rather than Snellen acuity alone.

8. Optical Zone Evaluation in Ray-Tracing LASIK
Study Focus
Comparison of different optical-zone diameters using WaveLight Plus.
Key Findings
Excellent refractive accuracy
High safety
Strong visual outcomes across optical-zone sizes
Future Questions
Long-term stability and night-vision performance remain to be determined.

Overall Trends Emerging from the Literature
Across published manuscripts and recent conference presentations, several themes are becoming apparent:
• Modern LASIK platforms already achieve exceptional rates of 20/20 vision, making further gains in Snellen acuity increasingly difficult.
• The focus of innovation is shifting from visual acuity to quality of vision, including contrast sensitivity, higher-order aberrations, night vision, and patient satisfaction.
• Whole-eye ray tracing enables treatment planning based on the complete optical system rather than relying solely on subjective manifest refraction.
• Early evidence suggests ray tracing may provide measurable improvements in optical quality while maintaining the excellent safety and predictability expected of contemporary LASIK.
• The strongest remaining evidence gap is the need for additional long-term, peer-reviewed randomized trials directly comparing WaveLight Plus with topography-guided LASIK and SMILE Pro.

Doxa 300Ti CC

Think doxa may have finally solved the lume issue with sandwich dial. A bit hard to read date on all days except those of CC bday because white writing on matte Ti instead of orange like on bday. All in all though minor gripe for such a killer watch. For any other doxa diehards out there , this it totally different than the 600T time and tide doxa collab which was Ti but looked like the Tudor FXD Ti. This is matte Ti in certain areas , high polish in others and brushed in others. I’d say it looks more steel like than any other Ti watch I have had. It feels odd lifting it because you expect the similar weight of the standard SS 300s. At this stage between the SS , carbon and now the Ti 300s I think this Ti is my favorite. It gives a similar weight to the carbon but has the rugged good looks of the SS. Really hope they release more of these standard. If they can give me a Ti BOR bracelet, cutout the date dial numbers so the sandwich lume shines through or even better ditch the date all together , it might just be the perfect doxa.

PRK in surfers?

I wanted to see if any one has any clever way of getting avid surfers adequate UV protection post PRK? I am considering adding daily surfing to my list of PRK contraindications.

Have you used Regeneryes?

Occasionally the good guys win. Anyone that has followed me knows that a few years back I became vocal about the unethical behavior of Regenereyes https://regenereyes.com/ . Namely putting fetal cord blood in bottles sold OTC and then omitting the fetal cord blood as an active ingredient to try to get around the FDA . Not to mention unsafe bottling practices. https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/regenerative-processing-plant-llc-672154-08162024

Companies like this should not exist and I am happy to see they have now
filed for bankruptcy (Chapter 11). https://elevenflo.com/blog/regener-eyes-bankruptcy

I encourage any patients that were deceived into a very real risk and used the drops, to engage with legal counsel to better understand what damages are due to you. As this is chapter 11 bankruptcy, you may still file a claim for damages in the bankruptcy proceeding.

The company should not exist and it is high time they are kicked in the teeth by all the patients they deceived and likely harmed. You could have been exposed to infectious agents you never knew you were at risk for due to the companies blatant deception. This is not a matter of debate otherwise I would not speak so plainly for fear of defamation lawsuit. Ultimately you are doing society a service to ensure this company ceases to exist and practices like this are not repeated down the road.
