Blood? Meh. Guts? Whatever. Eyeballs? GAAAAAAAH MAKE IT STOP. I've always been squeamish over eyes. I hated it when kids at school would pull down their eyelids and show the lining. Or flip the top eyelids inside out. I'm getting grossed out just thinking about it. I'm not sure why, but it literally makes my eyes feel weird.
I wore rigid contacts for a few years, but I didn't have to mess with my eyelids to get them in and out. They were small, so I just opened my eyes wide and poked them in. To remove them, I used a rubber plunger. None of this seemed gross at all. I suppose that the awesomeness of ditching my fugly plastic brown glasses outweighed the weirdness of messing with my eyes, and nothing I had to do was uncomfortable. I can't remember the last time I used eye drops, but I always hated getting them done at the doctor's because the doctor would pull my lid down to make more room. |

Some comedian whose name I don't remember summed that up nicely. "Put the glass in your eye, it won't hurt!" |

Last year I got good with them for one reason or another 
but they suck pretty much 100% of the time. I can only imagine what putting in contacts is like. |

Sometimes the laser surgery has complications, especially with very old people... but all in all it's quite safe and is above and beyond previous technologies.
The jury's still out on whether or not I'll have it done on my left (dominant) eye to seal some holes in the retina... so I'm gonna keep thinking that laser surgery is 100% effective =P |

My great grandmother had laser eye surgery it worked perfectly but they said she couldn't cry for a week then her nephew died and she cried and it ruined her eyes permanently. She could still see but so barely that the text has to be like size 36 minimum. |

BTW, I was watching a thing on laser eye surgery a while ago, and trust me, you guys do NOT want that done.
*shudder* |

Never had to take eye drops for anything, surprisingly.
I reckon that I'd be in the "I hate this but it has to be done" category myself. |

I think the major reason we mainly dislike things in our eye is because it is closer to a mucous membrane than our skin and since eyes tend to freak when a grain of sand or anything gets in them you tend to not like anything in them. Dialation drops burn because of the toxins in them that stimulate or relax the muscles as I said before.

Arrgh dilation D:
I despise it. They usually administer around 7-9 drops to both eyes, not all at once though. What I hate most is the waiting, I don't enjoy three hours without being able to move or eat anything, with only a half-charged iPod to accompany me... 
Not to mention the burning sensation those drops give you.
As for contacts, I don't really care. I'm happy with my +10.25 glasses, they're a part of me  |
| Sweet Kassy Molassy Posts: 721/886 |
I've never worn contacts. I don't see the point in my case, because I like the way glasses look on me... and because half the time, I'm wearing my glasses as much for the yellow tint and polarization as for the prescription. |

I  my contacts. It's been years since I've had glasses, and when I do have to wear them, they drive me insane. Contacts, however, don't bother me a bit. |

I. Hate. Eyedrops.
I hate ANYTHING that needs to be put in my eye, I don't care what it is. It's for this reason that I will never wear contacts, and I just pray that nothing ever happens to my eyes that require drops. I had to get my eyes examined last year, and I had to have them dilated with drops... ugh. Since I kept half-blinking and flinching, it took about 4 drops per eye until she was satisfied. That sucked. 
I just can't tolerate anything being put in my eye, it's one of those things. |
| Sweet Kassy Molassy Posts: 719/886 |
I can lick my finger and touch my eyeball and it doesn't really bother me, so I guess I can tolerate eyedrops. I still hate getting them at the eye doctor's though. Especially if they're dilating my pupils.
Speaking of... I have another appointment in March... better remember to find out what day that actually is going to be... hopefully my CSR will be better. I think it is, I seem to be able to see somewhat better out of that eye... |

Well in that case check for broken parts or loose screws before you throw out the receipt! |

Originally posted by skiff I haven't let him try putting in the eyedrops. He started giggling beforehand, probably at how freaked I got when he suggested he could help. I suspected that the giggling would continue, particularly as I giggle when I'm nervous, starting a giggle-loop.... And he is new... |
| Simon Belmont Posts: 1561/1773 |
The fourth option made me laugh, so I picked that.
I never used eyedrops, actually. I don't imagine I would be able to, either. I'm rather protective of certain areas of my body (neck, eyes, although it depends on the situation ). Also if your boyfriend giggles putting in eyedrops I think you might need to get him checked out or cash him in for a new one or something, they shouldn't do that new, check to see if the warranty has expired, you fucken weirdo. |

Originally posted by Sinfjotle Just to clarify, I seem to only be this bad when it comes to my eyes in particular. While I'm not overly fond of needles for example, I am able to "handle" that with a minimum of fuss. I handled a lot of my post op stuff in 2005 much better than I handle eye drops too. And I handled a lot of uncomfortable and nasty stuff leading up to said surgery as well. The real freaking out only happens if someone wants to mess with my eyes. This said, I am better if I am in a position so that I don't see it coming. This does not work with things like say.. boyfriends.. putting in eyedrops... who wind up just making me more nervous cause they giggle.... |

Unless someone (Eyedoctor) is putting them in my eye, I dont want 'em. D: |
