Thank you for this new fear.

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!

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

Oh that is true. Although they might just default into something boring like lidocaine.
