i had a metal shard removed from my eye with tweezers - head in a clamp with magnifying lense attached and dr getting closer and closer - eventually tip of tweezers went beyond / behind line of sight and could only see dr's wrist. wasn't nearly as bad as you'd imagine.

Had both eyes lasered 5 years ago.
Pre-lasering, a circular template / suction cup is placed over the middle of each eye while you're looking straight ahead. A jolly little surgeon then comes along and scalpels round each template in one swift motion to leave a little hinge for your cornea to be pulled back like a flap.

Then the lasery burnination of the lens begins.

Good times.

How would you rate the whole thing?

How bad was your sight before, and how sucessful was it?

My mum had surgery on her eye recently where she had to be awake. They pushed a big needle into her eyeball, sucked out gloopy blood that had accumulated inside, then pumped the eye with gas to re-pressurise it.

Reminds me of this!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
