Laser eye surgery

[Peegee]

You mean X-ray vision so that you can peep through clothes.

In most incarnations of 'wishing', getting x-ray vision gives you the ability to see a person's bones and organs, but not their naked bodies.

In a story of Superman, he was able to see that a friend of his was getting cancer, but couldn't do anything about it [and it's superman ffs - he can do anything]. I think it was a fanfic, because no writer of Superman is that good.

I've had it 15 years ago

It should be noted that things have improved a lot over the past 15 years. My mum got her eye surgery done about ten years ago, and she had a similar experience to yourself. However, the guy who sits opposite me at work got his eye surgery done one day and drove home something like two hours later - he just couldn't stare at bright lights on the day, but otherwise was fine. Seriously! So crazy, driving home afterwards. Couldn't believe it's gone that far. Of course, there are a few different procedures, so yeah.

I'm at work so i can't youtubesterspace, but is there any contact with the eye during the surgery? Is it strictly laser pew pew or do they have to fiddle with the eye? Can they put me in a comatose state so I don't panic like a lunatic?

Well, you can't see the laser but you feel the doctor putzing about.. is like the dentist, you feel no pain but you feel some touch. But you can't close your eyelids. TBH what bothered me most was the bright light, is like staring at a light bulb 1 ft from you and not being able to look away or blink. The whole thing took like 30 minutes.

Yes, that is why I am a Death Knight on WoW



Nah, but just remembering that bright light searing through my brain gets me nervous.

I'm too un-nearsighted to get laser eye surgery. They say it'll be a waste of my time. Really irritating because I still feel like a mole without contacts or glasses.

My dad had it done about 18-20 months ago. It was fine. He was sensitive to light for the first day, and his eyes kept watering for like two days but after that everything was fineeee.
