    Thank you for this new fear.

    It gets better!

    In around 40% of cases doctors have to perform surgery, which involves scraping the outside of the eye to remove the parasites and repairing the area through transplant.

      Now I’ve had quite a few unpleasant procedures in my time, but that sounds like something I would really love to be knocked out for.

      But because it’s eyes, idk if they need the patient conscious. Ugh…

      • It’s actually going to be great for you. When I was still more interested in eye surgeries, there was a special substance that was used on the patient to keep the eyes open. It’s still in some hospitals. What is it? Near-100% pure cocaine, baby!

        spoiler

        Mild disclaimer: the eye surgeries we’re talking about are completely different than the eyeball-scraping kind.
