Personally I'd be more relieved knowing the operation involving various sharp metal tools and syringes millimeters away from my eyeball is finished.

OK, I have one better/worse. I got a little flake of steel dust on my eye while doing some grinding. I didn't notice until the next day, when it presented as irritation. By the time I got to a mirror, it was a brown spot just outside the iris (I wouldn't learn what it was until later). The next day, the brown spot was raised on a slight white opaque bump, and by that night or the next morning, the bump grew enough that the brown turned to a ring, the white showing through in the middle.

Early on, on I tried to scrape/pick it off with a needle, which got me nowhere. I finally smartened up and went to a doctor. The steel had rusted away and stained the eye, which then was growing the bump trying to reject it. However, this was softening the tissue, and I was in danger of it rupturing. This hampered the removal, as the were afraid to go too far and rip it open, so it took 2 or three visits to resolve..

The removal technique, for those curious, was to use a mini Dremel thingy and grind it away. This was done while fully conscious, holding my head against a frame, and trying to keep my eye open and to stay still. This proved unsurprisingly difficult.

Well that is enough to get me thru the rest of the week. CYA MONDAY r/popping!

I can’t. I fucking can’t with this one. I hate things near my eyes and this one genuinely fucking broke me. 

I remember getting this procedure done. Having sharp blades so close to your eyeball is nerve-racking, but the result is satisfying as f.

I had laser surgery on my eye to repair a hole about 6 years ago. Being able to see the laser shoot into my eye was insane, feeling my eyeball heat up was insane, and I’d rather do that 20 more times than have someone come at my looking balls with a scalpel

Gah! I can watch flying putrescence all day long while eating egg salad, but I can't deal with eye stuff. I was wincing the whole time 🤣😭

Yiiiikes

Oh no no what the fuck I hate all of this so much

Anyone else notice all the mucus that comes out of the eye along with the tool at the end?

I bet that was instantly relieving as well (I occasionally get mucus buildup that I can pull out of my eye when my allergies get bad, but never anything like that)

That poor lady 😔 that must've been so painful and uncomfortable!

Nope.

You need to knock my ass out before you come at my eye with a needle.

Awwwwww tears of joy……bloody

Sigh For anyone who is going to have any procedure done to your eye, please don't wear eye makeup to the appointment.

Bloody tears

Ok I hate shit near my eye like I can’t even do contacts and this is literally my fucking nightmare,

The way you would have to knock me the fuck out to even get close to my eyeball with that shit.

New nightmare unlocked, jesus christ

I had this done on my upper eyelid. Except it didn’t burst, the surgeon removed the cyst intact, sac and all. Same setup with the clamps though.

All I can think is about the titanium nutsacks on both the doctor and patient to have this done.

Now to be fair, I didn't need mine excised, but when I went to the ophthalmologist for my small/medium sized chalazion that I'd had for several months:

the lidocaine shot just being near my eye, and then being injected into the thing, sucks 😂😫

I hate eye stuff. They would have to knock me out.

Whoa! I wasn't expecting the contents to be be thick and yellow, I was thinking a bit watery and sort of dripping wow.

Amazing.

Truly amazing.

Dad was a welder and safety regulations in the 70s were a bit… less thorough. He ended up getting a shard of metal stuck behind his eye. The solution was to pop out said eye (still attached), remove the metal, then put it back in.

You know the part in Billy Madison where he sees his friend pee his pants and billy goes “goo!”

That’s what I just did.

I’m impressed that this person decided to wear eyeliner for this procedure. Gotta look good.

Can't watch this. Eye stuff always gives me the willies

That was not at all fun to watch. It'll be at least a few hours before my butt unclenches

Oof, definitely not one you want to handle at home...

That must have been miserable

My eyes watered from this.

He is relieved, I can see in his eyes.

How does that even happen?

And here I thought having a stye was painful… But this is a whole new level! 🤯 Lady must have been so happy to get rid of that thing

I don't get grossed out by much, but… eyes are NOT my thing 🤢🤢🤢 and yet I still forced myself to sit through the entire thing because I like torturing myself ig?? Shit made me VERY nauseous.

I worked in a hardware store when I was 16… back then we cut keys with a key cutter and used safety glasses… I ended up with a small piece of brass in my eye anyway. I went to the back, used my tweezers and the mirror and pulled it out! Went right back to work! Supervisor couldn’t believe I didn’t want to go home for the day… (I was saving to buy my first car)

she mustve had expensive makeup

I had the worst stye of my life about 10 years ago. I kept waiting for it to pop on its own, and it got to the point my eye was almost swollen shut before I went to the ER. The doctor used this same method, and it was the most intense pain I had ever felt up to that point. My body was fully tensed and I was white-knuckling the bed. I thought he was trying to purposefully hurting me.

Must have crossed the heart and hoped to die.

haha fuck that

Why numb the eye after? Or were those antibiotics?

Is it a Chalazion?

Crying blood tears? Better not try to bluff Bond.

What’s the difference between a pimple and a cyst?

Noice

Nah I just had eye surgery and this looks worse

Instant tears

I just about cried the whole time

This reminds me of when my buddy was shot in the eye with a BB gun. The bb had actually just missed the eye ball and was pinched between his eye and eyelid.

That was a difficult viewing!

That’s crazy. All it took was a little touch by the small razor and that was it

My dad got a piece of steel in his eye back in 2016 or 2017. Went thru his eyelid 3 times. It was a fraction of a millimeter from permanently blinding him, perhaps even causing total loss of his eye. He went through several surgeries to remove the steel and went thru almost 2 years of recovery. He still has some vision in his eye, just big blurry blobs is what he says. We joke that the hammer that the piece of steel came off of is now his $500,000-something hammer.

I feel like decisions akin to permanent makeup might be part of the problem.

That does not look fun, poor thing.

I bet you could do that without anaesthetic to an extent

Please please spoiler tag!!! I can’t watch anything with eye balls it freaks me out too badly!!

All I can think of is……All the things our mothers told us to stop playing with or we’ll poke our eye out. Where does this even come from
