I can’t imagine doing this while conscious, I’d ask them to put me to sleep if they could
@Malik Zain slight pressure but absolutely no pain
The interesting thing is getting put out is much more dangerous then this is statistics wise.
FR just put me to sleep already i dont want to be awake for this at all
@Dom you mean we do feel pain?
Imagine the feeling of waking up without bad vision again?
@Alafang I’m 13 and I have 5 and 6..
@eliteEVIL darkness wtf the big diference
@Alafang uhm im not even 12 but have -3.5 at the same time I’m scared of Lasik but at the same time I don’t even have any other choice and these f online classes ruined my eyesight even more I had power of -2.0 but only in 2 year it became -3.5 and that even with blue light protected glasses ;-;
Don’t lose hope guys my sister had -4 and -3.5 with lazy eye,strabismus and astigmatism and now she has -0.25 amd .75 just by wearing glasses,glasses work.
@Alafang -1 right eye -7 left
Imagine him saying after opening his eyes: Can I open my eyes now?
Lmao
Dark, like your pfp
LMAOOOOO
Yo comment of the year
???
I’m so excited to get mine
I gave u ur 1000th like
Thank me later
@Tuah Danish i thought the same ?
how could you be excited
Ohhh AKAASHI
i hope i’ll never need that, ever
doctor: “okay open your eyes”
man: *opens eyes*
doctor: “how do you feel”
man: “omg… I’m getting emotional… I can see very clearly now!’ Thank you ma’am”
doctor: ???
@Blue Bee no they were saying the doctor was a male but then when the man Said “Thank you I can clearly see now” then he said maam but the doctor was a male so the doctor was like ? ? ?
Are you saying a women can’t be a doctor?
the man hears too.
@Yui r/woooosh
???
Bro imagine suddenly getting a really bad urge to blink and then everything going horribly wrong.
Well, they put on an instrument to keep your eyelids constantly opened.
@SaltyKudadogg .
@Awaken stop
That’s why they have clamps to force eye open
Or you need to sneeze
We’re all chill until the doctor peels off a layer of the eye
@Protagonist then they didn’t put enough to numb your eye buddy because that shouldn’t be happening.
@Matrix I felt it during my surgery and I freaked out
Its very old video
AAAAA
Me: Seeing this ???
And also remembering FINAL DESTINATION at the same time…?
Same
????☠
The eye scene in final destination 5 actually brought me here ????
SAMEEEEE
Same bro
When you are able to see the world clearly without glasses is the happiest thing that a person who use glasses can feel ❤️❤️
After that peeling of the eye, I’m good with my glasses bro
@Sifat Chishty well the glasses are still cheaper than the operation

@Army girl ? uhhhh
@Brianna Lizalde ?❤❤
?
Me sees eye surgery.
Also me: instantly recalls final destination eye surgery scene.
Me: no thanks I will rather die blind.
@Some Internet Traveller yaa ik it is very safe and even if anything goes wrong the damage is temporary
@ALL perfect true
That movie gave me trauma when I was younger, I watched it with my mom and it made my stomach churn (spoilers ahead) watching the eye of the eye surgery girl get crushed by the motor cycle. Really gorey stuff, but its final destination after all
I mean they said the chance of failure is more than 1 in 20.000 which is very rare soo i think safe tho
This is old surgery, now they do it differently
The happiness in the gentleman’s face after he opened the eyes is priceless !!
the only tear he’s gonna have after this treatment are *TEARS OF JOY!*
doctor: “open your eyes”
him: “can you turn on the lights though?”
that is so fucking deep
The risk is 1 to 10000 so one guy out of ten thousand guys around the world is walking out of this procedure half blind ??
Relax folks, modern lasik failure might be as unlikely as being run over by a bus while crossing the street
@Snewp_E 2 he literally said in the video
Lmao thats only probability…not 100% sure that will happen
Like corona vaccines. 10000 are non effected at all and still have to obey lockdowns, 1 dies.
Grats…
@badeshka4 well we have tons of safety measures to prevent even the smallest chances of that happening
India: Current goes off during procedure
Doc: Welcome to the blind world
LOL
1:59 here’s the replay button have fun
Thx i didnt need sleep anyways
@Lizzy Sony _hehe_
How hard did the apple hit ur head??
you ruined my life
im gonna leave a rose bouquet in front of ur house tysm ?
Seeing his eye held open just reminded me of final destination ?
I mean I can’t keep my eye open when they shine the light in my eye
You can’t close it even if you want to.
@Some Weeb ???
HELL NAH, ain’t nobody peeling my eyes like a damn banana. I’m sticking with glasses even if I can’t nap with them on
Sammmee bro
It doesn’t hurt youll just lay there and the next thing you know, youre done!, but it takes a while before the pain starts kicking in but it ok
This girl I used to be friends with slept with her glasses on…
@Khadija Muntaha Wow really funny. You should be a comedian.
@Angel. A There are 2 main surgerys.
LASIK- they DO cut the eye before using the laser.
PRK- Without cutting the eye, using the laser.
LASIK might sound scary, but its the better method because it has a quick healing time, and your eye sight comes back quicker, and its less painfull(because the outside of the eye isn’t damaged).
PRK- because you have a wound on your eye, it hurts more and takes a bit more time before you can see well.
I did PRK just a month ago and thats why I know all that. not everyone can do LASIK, it all depends on the shape of your eye.
Hope that clears everything up.
