So. Eyeball shaving is a thing.

Lol, knew that eye slashing gif would be in here just by the thread title alone.

Anyway I'll stick with just splashing some water in my face.

NOPE
 
True story.

I had a bacterial infection in my eye once. They had to take a razor and scrape my eye in order to do a culture.

I was numb first, of course.

Was the strangest feeling.
 
Decade+ ago or so, I got a splinter of hot metal in my eye. Doctor numbed the eye with some drops, then took a scalpel looking knife and pair of tweezers and fished the metal slag out.
The doctor was a weird dude, he brought the eyemetal over in his hand to me and my dad in the waiting room afterwards and was like "look look you wanna see it?, look!" ha

Being fully awake and watching someone carve into your open eye is strange, but it wasn't a big deal at all.
Haha fuck that that's is something from my nightmares. I would have to be knocked out or on enough morphin to kill a small child for me to go threw that...
 
The mods sliced my post out just like the razor did the eyeball from Un Chien Andalou but like that scene, it continues to live on in infamy. Or something like that.
 
This is a trend i will gladly skip if it ever becomes one lmao. And dat gif.... I like gore but slicing up eyeballs.... :/
 
Maybe its fallen out for more efficient methods but doctors were using maggots to eat away rotting and dead flesh on patients not that long ago.

Doctors still use this, and for a simple reason, it works. Guess what does not work? Blood letting, trepanning or this eye scrapping insanity, your eyes clean by themselves with tears, there is zero need to put sharp objects or any object near them unless extreme cases that require surgery.

That's cuz GAF is all STEM degrees

I'm STEM and I knew about it, it's basically pop culture at this point, Im also surprised by the reactions :P

I wasn't implying they did, simply that certain means of modern medical help might look rather "old school".
 
WHAT? I thought the cornea does not repair itself if damaged.

I have seen way worse on GAF some weeks ago, it still haunts me :(
