Just wondering cause I've thought about it, and that sh!t is scary. I can't stand the thought of a sliced eye-ball.

how about this

you are sliding down a stair case railing and half way down it it changes to a razor blade with a pool at the end filled with alcohol

I bet you never thought about being careful if you ever give some paper/brochure to an infant. They would probably stick it in their eye. I almost gave it to my nephew not knowing any better ... then the mom stopped me.

How in the hell would you get a paper cut anywhere? By dragging the edge of the paper across your eyeball.

Well theres always the surgical procedure called RK, big thing before lasik. Back in the early 90's and mid-late 80's. They cut open ur eyeball and adjust, and have to put stiches IN IT. My dad had it and the doctor fuked up, no he has half a cornea left.

I had a dream once where i was sliding down a thick metal coiled cord type of thing (like an inch in diameter... like something you'd see in a suspension bridge)... the angle was about 45 degrees... about halfway down there were some splinters in the metal and they ended up going through my hands and I woke up when one of them hit my eye. I was freaked out for a while after that, pretty gross stuff.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining how disturbing it was in the dream.

Dunno about a papercut but I have had my eyeball scratched with pine needles. It happened when I was in high school and my brother and I where wrestling on the lawn and he decided to fight dirty.

Anyway, my eye stung a little so I went in and they did that strange dye stuff under the microscope and found 3 scratches. I had to wear an eye patch for 2 days and all was well.

RK was pioneered in the USSR , i read about it back in the 80's but decided that having someone chop up a working albeit imperfect eyeball was a Bad Idea

imho you probably wouldn't feel it. When I had lasik, the surgeon sliced the top 1/8 of an inch off the front of my eye ball with a scalple(sp?) I didn't take any meds before, and even though he basically took a razor to my eye all I felt was pressure. When you get glass in your eye, what hurts is the glass touching the inside of the eye socket, not your eye.....

not only that, if its a clean cut, it should heal quickly. When the surgeon put the flap he cut back on my eye it healed almost right away......

you would not bleed from your eye if you got a paper cut. I had a surgeon put a scalpal to my eye, worse than just a paper cut, and all I felt was pressure.
