  • Used an expired contact lense (Expired for about 2 weeks) and tore a hole in my cornea, can I wear contacts a month after my eye has healed?

    Hey all,

    When I was abroad, my eyes got extremely irritated whilst I was out, so I decided to take my contacts out

    On the way home, my eye got increasingly irritated, so I visited a eye hospital the day after (By then I couldn't open my left eye, and being outside with both my eyes closed, and my hand covering my face still resulted in extreme pain, I could barely sleep that night either..)

    According to the doctor's prognosis, I have a hole in my cornea (According to him, about 10% the size of my cornea), and I have done well to avoid infection (I was using a disinfectant which came with my contacts to help stop any infections from occurring)

    I was prescribed several bits of medicine, one to stop an infection, one to maintain moistness, and one to keep oxygen levels up, I had to make use of this medicine, even on my flight back to the UK

    According to the eye doctor, at the very least I need to wait a month before using contacts again, 2 months to be safe

    Here's the thing, I could see through my left eye after a day, and it was completely healed after about 3 days

    Furthermore, its been just about a month, and uni starts for me in about a week, will I be able to use my contacts by then?

    Thanks for any help!

  • Lack of Attention span.. leads to frustration and Anxiety. Symptoms of ADHD..?

    I have an attention span that chooses whether or not it wants to work.

    Sometimes I could focus on something long enough when I want to, achieving it easily, an example would be video games, football, or anything else Im interested in.

    However, when it comes to revision, my mind gets lost and becomes distracted VERY easily. This eventually leads frustration as the stress mounts, which then leads to anxiety, and after 45 minutes of little work, I give up.

    I've always also thought that I have ADHD aswell, an example being during the church the other day, it was in French (I only speak English) and my mind was driving me crazy.. A long period of time of pure boredom and I felt like smashing something, I was fidgeting all over and was incredibly anxious (When I used to line up for class when I was younger, I would fidget a lot aswell)

    Help me.. Any more details? Ask away..

  • Retail WoW questing ?

    Hey,

    I've played on retail servers for about a year before moving onto private servers.

    I've been on 3 private servers over the past 2 years (WoW-Trance, Coth and Molten-WoW)

    I recently went on the Retail WoW website, and wow...

    I was amazed at all these features and the lack of bugs it has.. Such reliable-ness.. Looks attractive..

    Blizz really put EFFORT onto their website, it's amazing..

    By searching some names, I realize my guildies are still around, and I kinda' miss em'.

    One of the main reasons why I left WoW is due to how looonng the questing is.

    I Like questing, however, I don't like spending soo long doing so.

    Seeing that the Cata expansion has improved questing, I actually look forward to it and also look forward to not having to put up with bugs that is expected from private servers.

    Now for my question:

    Is there a way to at least let me skip leveling lvls 60-78? I'm sick of older content..

    Does anyone have a solution to this ?

  • Best yet cheapest Flash-supported Tablet?

    Yeah, normally I'd be part of the crowd and get an iPad (The original one, not no.2),

    But due to the face that it doesn't support flash unlike Android, I'm not really that interested..

    I've looked at a few, some were good until I looked at the price tag and others were also good with a good price but were laggy etc

    What I'm looking for is a tablet capable of supporting flash and even playing games with no lag. A camera is definitely not needed.

    What's the best, cheapest tablet out there that supports my needs said above?

    My budget goes up to about £300, does anyone know one that's decent?

    Any help appreciated!

  • Ethical Hacking/Penetration Tester/Security Analysis Career Advice?

    Well,

    I'm 16, I'm currently taking my GCSEs.

    I was interested in this 'hacking' subject since a young child (Since 6-ish).

    I've always weirdly thought of it as something cool to hack into something, whether it be downloading a pirated game, to 'hacking' into someone's computer/facebook etc account (hacking, also known as, Guessing, at most)

    I'm not sure if this is a plea for attention or something in my younger days, all I know is that I'm still interested in it.

    Also, As you may have realized by this point, I LOVE computers.

    A careers advisor came to my school, and showed me a excellent website that led me to this career-

    http://search.ucas.com/cgi-bin/hsrun/search/search...

    This definitely peaked my interests, and after a lot of pondering around the internet for information, I'm still left with many questions..

    So,

    (1) Do I have to deal with a lot of codes?

    (2) What programs do I use?

    (3) Recommended A level choices, and is Media useful?

    (4) Is it hard?

    (5) What do I learn basically?

    (6) Salary summary, if possible :3.

    By the looks of it, I may need someone who's worked in this business or at least known someone who has, because google doesn't seem to offer that much information.

    Finally, have a look at my GCSE/A-level choices-

    GCSE-

    ICT

    Psychology

    History

    Geography (Which I regret picking at this point)

    A level (What I'm planning to pick)-

    ICT

    Psychology

    Media/Sociology

    History/Philosophy

    (7) Any recommendations to what I should pick?

    Sorry for this lengthy post, I really hope someone helps me out here, and helps answer some of these questions, I'm pretty lose here /:.

  • Sims 2 Question about dying and moving?

    Well..

    On Sims 3 you can stop ur Sims dying or just make them stay an adult for about 960 something days by changing the options.

    Now I'm on Sims 2 and I've got ALL the expansion packs besides Glamour life stuff.

    Over some research, I realized there's no way of making my Sims live forever without using cheat codes or using the elixir of life

    .

    So here are my questions-

    (1) By holding ctrl+shift+c and then typing in 'boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true ageing off'

    Will that stop my ageing? Will it stop my dog and everyone else in town from ageing aswell?

    (2) Is there a way of making my life longer without using cheats?

    (3) Is there a way of making the whole town's life longer without using cheats?

    Lol as you can see I just wanna' make my sim live longer so I can use him longer!

    One more question aswell-

    (4) When I finished university, where does all my stuff go??? I had a nice big bed, a good comp, and some other stuff.. The game said they put in somewhere when I was moving but I'm not sure where... Anyone know where?

    Plz help:D
