How to Fry Your Eyes

Darkwriter77 · May 15, 2007

I seriously can't tell if this is a joke site or if they truly, seriously believe this kooky thing is legit. Looks like a friggin' kitchen mixer without the egg-beaters attached to it. And you KNOW there's a lot of goofy folks out there that would be more than willing to stick this thing onto their face and stare at it with dreams of perfect vision to follow...

Not having glasses would be nice, especially when it comes to doing things like crawling around under the car and whatnot, but I'm still not even sold on normal Lasik surgery. I know people who've blown thousands on it and STILL need glasses. Glasses are an inconvenience, but the idea of making myself go blind through an elective surgery scares the hell out of me.

Its fake, its been on the web for a while now.

don't they need to peel off the lenses on the eyes for that to work? lol

FrankenStang · May 15, 2007

Ouch. EWWW no way.

Boss 351 · May 15, 2007

yup you need to cut open your eyeball..

"LASIK: This surgery is more complicated. The surgeon first cuts a flap in the cornea with a very sharp blade or laser, and then lifts it and uses a computer-guided laser to remove calculated amounts of tissue from the inside layers of the cornea. Afterwards, the flap is put back and the eye heals more quickly than with PRK."

And the "doctor" that's promoting it has glasses...

He must've tried it on himself, first.

Yes....they play it on How It's Made all the time....it's pretty hardcore.

Darkwriter77 · May 15, 2007

Saw a video of the procedure on Consumption Junction ... ewwwww.

85_SS_302_Coupe · May 15, 2007

The surgery itself is one thing...the fact that you're AWAKE while they peal back the skin of your eye...that's the disturbing part.

Acuvue Oasis contacts FTW

I can't touch my eyeballs. I'd have to crank my eyelids open with some mechanical thingy to keep from blinking them shut.

Ultra-light frameless glasses FTW.

85_SS_302_Coupe · May 15, 2007

It's really not as hard as it seems. I had a really hard time with contacts for about a month and then it just started working. Now i wear them for a week or so at a time and take them out overnight, and then throw'em back in. It's like i don't even know they're in until they get dry, then just a few eye drops and it's all good.

I cant wait to do it, but then again my eyes are so bad, I can touch them any time and it doesnt hurt (still hurts when s**t falls in them though). I have been waiting to dump the glasses for years (had contacts, they ruined my eyes even more and I cant wear them anymore)!

FrankenStang · May 15, 2007

Ewww, no way in hell anyone touches my eyeballs with anything. Period. No scalpels, no lasers, no contacts, no way, no how. NO. I'll be sticking with glasses too.

*shivers*

Same here but I struggled for a while getting them in for a few months. Then it just clicked. I wear the daily ones now, where you just throw them out. The ones where you keep and reuse bother my eyes after about a week, and the ones where you wear 30 days at a time day and night, my eyes weren't made for em lol.

85_SS_302_Coupe · May 15, 2007

I wear the day/night lenses. I wear'em way longer than i should...but it never seems to bother me and i clean them all the time.
