I'm gonna be a doctor this summer. Believe me it is not as gross or painful as it looks. WE are used to it, thats why doctors don't fall/black out when they see blood oozing out.
Make yourself tough, guys!!!
>:)

Do you know about a worm that lives INSIDE/ON the eye... lol

Google "loa loa worm"
now thats gonna be disturbing for many.

Me before 2001 8-)
Me now :D
Thanks to science and more advanced tools to work, surgeon gave me back a normal sight!!
And for those of you who find that gross or disgusting, I can assure you that you feel no pain at all during the operation. The stinging/itching sensation remains for only a few days and his comparable to having dust in your eyes... Not so bad to get rid of those awful glasses :D :D

Com'on guys, your such pussies. If you find this gross, look up the strabismus eye surgery, that's what i've done. No pain at all, but really gross.

This is the way it USED to be done (and I suppose in some cases still is) but I got iLASIK done last summer, and the procedure is nothing like this. They should have shown what I went through because it would have been far more interesting.

For starters, there is a LOT of prep work. I had to go through an eye test that lasted over 4 hours, and involved over 20 different specialized, computerized machines. They did everything from precisely measuring the thickness of my corneas to mapping out a 3D topographical map of my eyeball... Then I had an in-depth consult with an eye doctor about all the results...

In modern laser eye procedures there is no microkeratome. (No cheese-slicer that cuts a layer off your eye). It's all done far more precisely by a laser... Sometimes it's called all-laser-lasik because there's no actual cutting involved. The way they do everything else is also kinda different to what they showed here.

I am thrilled with my results! No longer am I dependent on contacts or glasses.... For the first time since 5th grade in elementary school... Best decision I ever made! Now I KNOW there are plenty of people out there who have had bad results and nasty side effects -- and I sympathize with them... But statistically speaking, it is usually a highly successful surgery for most people, and I guess I fall into that larger group of folks (thankfully).

The procedure I chose (iLASIK) is the only procedure that is officially approved by the U.S. air force (and highly pushed on people to get it done, according to my friend who is currently on active duty). The procedure has also been approved by NASA for use by astronauts.

If you want to see a somewhat more modern video about laser eye surgery, look here: http://www.ilasik.com/6001-movie-promo.aspx

(Yes, this IS a biased video. It's a promotional spot. But opinions aside, it IS accurate in describing actually HOW the procedure is done).
