Welcome to Ramsay Rides! I ride mountain bike trails all over Ontario and Quebec, Canada. My videos mostly consist of challenging downhill, enduro and occasionally cross country technical singletrack trails. In addition I also dirt jump and ride BMX! Whatever kind of riding you're into MY GOAL IS TO GET YOU STOKED TO GO OUT AND RIDE YOUR BIKE!!!
Kind of reminds me when I went with the largest lawyer group (Morgan and Morgan) thinking they would best handle my motorcycle wreck settlement. NOPE. I did get my settlement, but they told me all the hospital bills were settled, which was a lie. Some bills still went to collections and lowered my credit score, which I was liable for somehow. When I called M&M a year later, my lawyer had left that firm and disappeared. Next time I’m staying away from large companies. I’m going smaller and local.
started riding my bike after 4 year break. Did just under 4 mile in total with a break half way. My thumb and palm was numb for a days then became super painful to grip things. could also be affecting the carpal tunnel nerves
That’s what really sucks about getting a trail on a GoPro or any other camera. It really dumbs down the trail. Makes it look easy as fuck but I know it’s not. Lol
Just don’t go to these large corporate lasik companies with gigantic marketing budgets. Do your research and go to the clinics that actually care for their patients and you will get the best advice/results
Thank you for posting this video. I am a diabetic myself and have had lots of complications from the diabetes. I have considered lasik myself so I go to a few places in my area and was told that it would greatly improve my vision by the first place I go to. Well unfortunately there aren't many specialists in my area but did go to another place about 2 hours away and they did a screening and the first question is do you have dry eye or ever been diagnosed with dry eye. Well I wasn't 100% sure but they asked a few questions and did a test to confirm that yes I have mild dry eye and that means I'm automatically not eligible nor a candidate for the surgery. Well I go back to the original place I had gotten the first opinon from and they said dry eye isn't any sort of an issue. Wow just wow I'm glad I listened to my instinct and the second opinon I had gotten. I hope you continue to get relief and hope you will some day not have to rely on medication to feel normal.
I had a similar type of doctor where they were being pushy with me going through the process this was until i asked if they'd be willing to risk their life if they screwed up my eyes knowing it could go bad.
Thank you for your honest review. lasik eye surgery is so flaunted and recommended with no vocalizing of real side effects and information of the actual results.
I know exactly what you went through because it happened to me. My case was even more complicated... But in short, just wanted to say that the nerves that are cut are not pain receptors but are involved in the feedback mechanism that is responsible for keeping your eyes moist. And once nerves are cut, they do not grow back, at least with the current medical knowledge. Shocking that there is no procedure to determine where to cut on the cornea or whether the extent of the damage can be predetermined. All forms of corrective eye surgeries have risk for damaging the vital nerves on the cornea, no matter what the doctors tell you. About 5% of people who elect to have corrective eye surgery run the risk of serious complication post-surgery. It is a CASH COW and they don't want to tell you the whole story. I have read the medial reports and know what I am talking about.
OMG you really scared me. My daughter had mild dry eye syndrome and she underwent Smartsight surgery (something similar to SMILE). Her eyes are slowly healing but dry feeling is quite intense. I hope for the best and I wish you good health.
I have contact lenses since 14. Basically more than 20 years. My eyes are so used to the lubrication provided by the contact lenses that I qm somewhat addicted to them. I don't think I would be a candidate for Lasik. Don't fix what is not broken.
I'm writing this comment 6 hours after my intervention on both eyes. I'm 43 years old. No pain, very very slight discomfort, I can see near and far sighted perfectly. I'm simply astonished. Wow.
I'm not a bot. I had an excellent experience. My right eye is not as sharp as my left eye at long distance as it had astigmatism to be corrected and it can be tricky to deal with, but still very good and too early to say how it will turnout. I can see perfectly at close distance on both eyes, I can see extremely well at long distance with both eyes. It really is an amazing experience for someone who has been wearing glasses for almost 30 years. This intervention is considered "aesthetic" in medical terms. It's like getting your nose done. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have done it, and so there is plenty of statistics available to study the results. There is no such thing as 100% safe on anything. We all know planes can crash but millions of people use them everyday. Getting LASIK or PRK done is really a personal decision. It is a marvel of technology that has helped me lose the need for glasses.
Bro this made me so angry, you have to sue thet clinic. This surgery has not only lowered your quality of life, but also cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
I wonder if cevimeline could help your dry eyes. It's a capsule for dry mouth and dry eyes. Look it up. I take it for dry mouth and I've noticed it makes my eyes a bit teary sometimes.
I absolutely hate having to wear eye crutches(glasses). When I was a boy in the 1960's and I had to wear glasses for the first time in my life, I felt as if chains were being put on me. But, at the same time, no F (Censored) way am I going to risk losing my vision altogether, or putting myself in great pain and misery, with the dangerous practice of lasik or any other kind of eye surger, such as PRK! This is why the real solution is for medical science to invent a safe and effective way to cure all visual disabilities such as myopia without any kind of eye damaging surgery, shut down these dangerous lasik centers, and then make glasses and contact lenses all antique obsolete collector's items. For example, nobody needs to wear glasses in Star Trek.
Thank you for this video. Basically the exact same thing happened to me. But I see in your other videos that you are mountain biking around outside without eye protection. I can't even go outside for a walk because the wind will dry out my eyes and cause me pain. How do you do it? Or is your treatment plan really that good?
Damn so true🤭. Nevertless its the opposite of what I’ve experienced. I had my lasik last week and im good now. Its true the life changing visson. Please see for eye screening and never hesitate to undergo lasik eye surgery.👍👌
thanks for sharing dude, you're right. It looks SOOOO good. Just wish I was a bit more confident at jumps but probably worth it for me to hang out and session it someday. Good ridage btw.
30k to fix eyes is just INSANE and that’s the after effect of getting it, that’s atrocious 💯 I’m deeply considering lasik but these type of videos really scare me man….
I’ve yet to find anyone who a story similar to mine. I knew I had dry eyes & would not be able to get lasik however my Mother in law, who also has dry eyes, got cataract surgery and they put lenses in her eyes & she was fine afterwards so it spurred me to ask my eye doctor if there was any chance. I’d ALWAYS wanted lasik & to be able to ditch the contacts & glasses.
Kinda weird how google is bombarding me with these types of vids right when I was looking up laser correction. I started wearing glasses as a 3 year old and have them on every day but its mostly for reading. I can see decently big stuff aka I have them for stuff that are close to me. Ever since I was a kid I hated wearing them and it limited me in various ways and I remember specifically asking the optician lady if there is anything,a surgery anything I can do to fix my eyes and she said no....that was like 20-25 years ago. I am 30,if I dont do it now I might never experience a no glasses life. I dont think I have dry eyes and idk if I am even a good candidate(I think my glasses are 3 or 3.5) but I am gonna find out. Dont really like the fact that I will have to use eye drops,my eyes just dont listen to me and close and move but if that's what it takes I will do it. If shit goes south,well it was my choice. I am still not sure which one I will go and need more info on it,if I am not a good candidate then idk. My current glasses are near their end too.
I went through a similar thing and mitigated most of the symptoms of my corneal neuralgia. I dug into the most recent research on that topic and my findings were later verified in a clinic. I'd like to spread that knowledge, so let me know if you'd like to know more about that and we'll set up a call
I have bad miopia, my eyesight will blur for anything further than 30cm. I do not have dry eyes. I was subjected to A LOT of physical examination and with very fancy machine at the eye hospital (it is a hospital specifically for eyes) and it cost me a ton JUST FOR EXAMINATIONS. If you are contemplating LASIK or ReLEX (i have relex smile) make sure your center is the best in the nation and is using all the tech to say yes or no for lasik. I've researched centers and clinics and unfortunately, not every clinic does it, resulting cases like this. Do not try to safe penny with lasik, do your research diligently. Really consider if all the risk is worth it
