Reply to comment by Dumpythefrog in TIFU by showering my eyes with crazy glue by slt125

Fortunately enough, eyes are quite resilient. It takes a decent amount of damage to permanently alter vision.

Which is also frightening when you consider how many people hurt their eyes on the daily watching a screen (me included)

Watching a screen doesn't inherently hurt eyes - but it can cause them to harden into a short focal length rather than a long one when they age.

they peel the front of your eyeballs off with a vegomatic razor apparitus slicer, laser the inside of the eyeball, and blue the front of the eyeball back on when done.

Same with my bf, I kept trying to urge him towards PRK instead but no dice. Now he’s got constant dry eye and his vision is much worse than when he originally had glasses. Plus they’re extremely sensitive to light and wind.

FWIW, I had PRK and had a very bad experience as well. Shitty vision and my eyes are dry and never comfortable.
