  I don’t have eye problems of any kind. Don’t even need reading glasses…

  And even I cried upon reading this.

  Have had it done, bladed. Yes, you look straight at it, but you can’t see shit anyway because of the drops they put in your eyes first. I was much less concerning than I expected.

  That was only for one eye though. The other was not a candidate for LASIK, so I had the alternative procedure known as PRK. This one is super fun because instead of cutting the cornea off then put it back on (LASIK), they just scrape off the outer layer of the cornea.

    Yeah, the vision during the procedure was not an issue at all. The smell of burnt eye as the laser works away was a bit off putting though. I can testify that burnt eye smells a lot similar to burnt hair.

  As if I hadn’t enough reasons to avoid that procedure.
