    No laser yet. Only 6 surgeries on my Rt eye. #1 remove piece of metal that went THROUGH the eyeball and lodged in the back of the eye socket age 10.
    #2 remove inner lens and clean things up 6 months after 1st surgery. Age 10
    #3 Try to clean up floating debris in the eye to improve vision 6mo - 1yr later ate 11.
    #4 Experimental surgery grafting a lens to the outside of the cornea to try to improve vision and use video for teaching the surgery. Only semi successful, limited sight. I got to be awake for the whole surgery, talking to the doctor and watched it on overhead monitor. Age 28
    #5 Lens and cornea replacement with donor/cadaver parts. More successful. 20/40 vision. Can only read LARGE letter block, everything is still VERY blurry, not correctable via glasses. I can legally drive with only the vision this eye if I needed to... Legally... That is SO wrong.... laws need to change... VERY bad. Age 38
    #6 eye lid made to stay open a little wider to look natural. Drooped due to trauma. Age 40

    Damn man! Your poor fvckin eyeball! I get nervous when I get a spec of dirt in my eye. I cant imagine all that shit. So are you at the limit of what can be done for you or are there other plans to try and improve your sight in the future?

    It never hurt, I dont even feel anything/much when I get little shit in it now. LOL
    The worst it ever hurt was I tried to wear a soft contact for a while before the last surgery to improve vision. I went skiing one time, didnt wear goggles, forgot I had my contact lens in until I woke up at 3am in severe pain because the contact had floze to my eye and more or less fused to my eye. I had to go to emergency where they put some numbing drops on my eye then remove the lens. LOL

    No, at this time they say there is not any more they can do and probably never will be. I LOL when they said that. Never say never. 20 years ago they would have said it's impossible to do a lens and cornea transplant.

    Hopefully someday because if anything ever happens to my left eye I'm Fvcked. I will NOT drive with only my right eye. It should be illegal. That law needs to change.
