Losing sight has never been so easy! Follow these steps to understand the procedure and you will be hollow in no time!

Step 1: Retract the eyelids 

This can be done in two ways; by a lid speculum or a traction suture. The lid speculum looks like a pair of tongs. It will slide underneath the eyelid and pull it open. It is impossible to look away or to close the eye lid once the tongs are inserted. Like at age 9 when I watched Anne Hathaway fuck Jake Gyllenhaal in the backseat of a car during Brokeback Mountain. A more dangerous option is to use a traction suture. This is when thread is sewn into the cornea to pull the eyeball in a certain direction to access the hidden areas of the globe. The use of an anesthetic is optional.

Step 2: Surgical incisions

The first incision is into the mucous membrane that covers the front of the eye and then another incision is made in the layer right underneath the mucous membrane. It is common for juices to leak out of the incisions, especially with lack of preparation. Expect pain and tearing. I even bled. 

Step 3: Cut the rectus muscles of the eye

After this step, the eye can no longer move and sight will start to blur. Like when my friend pinned my arms to the bed I had since I was 7 and raped me on my sock monkey sheets. 

Step 4: Cut the optic nerve

This severs the eyeball from the socket. There is no reversing this step. Once the eyeball has been severed, sight will not be able to be restored. 

Note: The process should take around one to two hours, but could be shoddily done in 10 minutes, depending on who you are with. Clean up and move on. There might be time for a prosthetic or some type of implant, but it will only fill the void, not allow sight to be restored. Removal of the wrong eye is the most feared intraoperative complication and can be avoided by a few consultations and marking the eye that is to be removed. Or asking for consent. 

Reminder: If the wrong eye is removed, they will apologize but they cannot do anything about it. They want us to know that we are not alone, we are survivors. They will then set up another consolation to hopefully remove the correct eye. After surgery there will be swelling and bruising, but it will only be mild. There will be a pinkish or watery discharge from the blood, hopefully it’s not an infection. The damage is mainly psychological. Remembering what it was like to have an eye can be more painful than the procedure itself. Depression over the loss of an eye is very common, counselors are available if needed. It is recommended to lose at least one eye in your lifetime, but no more than three.
