Photopsia is a milder form of this. This Troper experiences it about once or twice every month, though her vision hasn't been affected.

This troper's Uncle almost lost his left eye with illegal fireworks, although the doctors managed to save it, his vision in that eye has been less than perfect ever since.

This troper suffered with a bout of anterior uveitis (AKA iritis) a while back. The effect was a swelling of the coloured part of the eye, manifesting as the white turning a bright pink. When the eyedrops failed, the solution was a syringe. Injected into the inside of the lower eyelid, not the actual eye, but still more than horrifying enough to scare anyone he's ever described it to...

This Troper gets Iritis every 6 months, alternating from one eye to the other. I'm glad to say the eyedrops, and it involves regulated steroids, have always worked, but I can explain what it involves. The cornea and iris adhere together, that is glue together. If you haven't experienced it, lucky you, that means when your eye tries to dilate or contract in the presence of light it can't, but it is trying to. Your eye is trying to pull itself apart. Be glad you don't get it. Also it means you're effectively blind in that eye.

This Troper, on the other hand, suffered from pan-uveitis (intermediate and posterior at the same time). The solution for that was an incision in the sclera, followed by the steroid infusion directly into the eye with a nice, big, blunt-tipped needle. Luckily, this Troper was sedated. But not sedated enough to not hear the doctor say "Oops." He nicked a blood vessel.

This troper was stabbed in the eye with angle iron. The pupil in her right eye is now melted into to the iris.

I'm incredibly disgusted, yet vaguely curious. The pupil of the eye is nothing more than a small hole that grows and shrinks to control how much light enters the eye. So it can't melt...can it?

Whatever happened to it, it's not where it's supposed to be, I can't see out of it, and it looks gross.

If you live in the western suburbs of the Chicagoland area, I might know who you are and if so, I think your eyes are pretty anyway.

Probably mentioned earlier, but anybody who has had an eyesight operation can tell is Eye Scream worthy...

This troper once got a metal flake in her eye (somehow). Not on the surface of the eye, actually ''inside it'', as several minutes with a doctor scraping at it demonstrated. The flake disappeared and she thought nothing of it. Years later, when getting an eye test, she was told that she was lucky the flake wasn't near her pupil, otherwise she'd be blind in that eye from all the damage.

This is a major risk for people who've ever worked around metal if you should ever require an MRI. Think about that flake getting yanked around the inside of your eye by a 2-Tesla magnet...

Thankyou for that, I am sure I will sleep ''wonderfully'' tonight now.

This troper's father has a lazy left eye; the muscles in his socket have degenerated to a point that he is more or less blind in said eye and it looks like it's about to fall out of its socket. (He is now contemplating surgery to at least fix the "creepy cross-eyed stare" effect, even if it can't save his vision.)

This troper's friend was stabbed in the eyeball by a rogue pencil. The division between his pupil and iris is heavily blurred, and he's all but blind in said eye.

What, no love for the "classic" eye-gouge illusion gag? Palm a restaurant coffee creamer sample, put it up to your eye (hidden away so your friends can't see it), take an appropriate sharp object, puncture creamer foil and dig out contents, laugh at the discomfort of your dining companions.

This troper's mother has twice--''twice!''--burned the surface of her eye by accidentally hitting it with a curling iron. She had to be driven to the emergency room and have the burned area ''scraped off with a scalpel'' both times. She said that the pain was not the worst part. The worst part was holding her eye open and watching them scrape away the burned parts. ''Twice.''

Several people this troper knows apparently saw a video of a woman ''eating her own eye with a fork and knife.'' the worst part? '''[[NightmareFuel It wasn't faked to their knowledge.''']]

...oh God. Link?

Don't post a link. EVER

Nooooo! Don't!

Just don't click, dummies!

But it would be too tempting!

This troper saw it. It's actually fake, because the video can be found on YouTube. Still, pretty gross.

This anonymous troper had a rather unpleasant experience involving a cat dissection in Anatomy. One fellow in our group wanted to take out one of the eyeballs of the (obviously dead) cat, and the means he used to do so were... well, let's just say they were basically gouging the eye out with a probe. The eyeball wasn't destroyed, but still... ''shudder''

Every dissection (animal, not human, mercifully) this troper has partaken in has ended in this trope somewhat. We were supposed to take out one of a shark's eyes to examine the nerves or the lens or somesuch, but it ended with... them... ''popped'', on the bare tabletop, in a little pool of liquid, with something hard that had been inside them just lying there inside the little deflated balloon of skin. Downright beauteous.

That hard clear ball is the lens. This troper finds them rather attractive.

Cool! (This troper would like to note that though the link to NightmareFuel was intentional, that "beauteous" was not at all sarcastic.)

Before dissecting an eye, this troper's friend asked the teacher what the vitreous humor tasted like. He thought it would taste like oysters. While dissecting the eye, the friend tasted it. '''[[CrossesTheLineTwice It did taste like oysters.''']]

That's assuming he could taste anything beyond the preserving fluid. Blech.

This troper accidentally saw most of the eye-gouging scene (and the horrific beatdown preceding it) in the movie Demolition Man when hr was about 9, and already a pretty squeamish kid. After that he was absolutely terrified of this trope for years. He since got over it and in fact he found dissecting a cow's eye in 4th year oddly relaxing.

One of this troper's maternal aunts was involved in a car crash many years ago and took a glass shard into her left eye. She got better with surgery, but if you look at her closely, you can see the scars in her irises.

This troper has had a rather freaky version of this, after reaching the highest point on the preschool swings, she comes down screaming so much they have to get her mom, her left eye is in pain, it reacts to light, rushing her to the doctor they do gruling tests on her, due to the tropers squrminess, they belive its a scratch on her eye and bandage it up, the next morning she looses sight in both eyes until they cut the bandages, eventualy she ends up in a huge hospital operation room under anysteics, only to wake up with the freakish news, it wasnt a scratch, it was a SEED, and by the time she was in the hospital it was taking ROOT! I inquire you to pause and think what would happen is it never came out.

looking back at this childhood traum, it would make one freaky horror film.

This troper's uncle got a pencil stuck in his eye when he was a child.

Does that mean you live in the same world as The Dark Knight's version of Batman?

I'm so terrified of this trope that I've considered wearing goggles pretty much the entire damn time.

After reading this page, I'm considering the same. I don't know if I'll sleep tonight. And that's just the stuff above here.

This troper used to have a much higher pain tolerance. I would sit in my room, in the dark, and press on my eyes-- mercifully through the eyelids-- really freaking hard. Sometimes with objects. To see the pretty colours. I can't stand to even ''lightly'' touch my eyelids now. What the heck was I doing? Childhood memories of this seem to have lead to roleplaying a lot of eye damage scenes with my characters-- including one where a teenaged boy has an eye dashed out, or more accurately, popped, at the razor of a certain Sondheim canon. Apparently, it grossed a couple other board members out. I never noticed.

Also, possibly due to previous eye-pressing habits, I am now ''afraid'' of floaters and eye strain. (I hope my eye-related neuroses explain why I not only play the aforementioned teenage boy on my friendly local RPG, but also the Corinthian.

Hey, I used to do that eye-pressing thing too. Somehow I never noticed how much it hurt.

Biology. Fetal pig dissection, and the perch and squid dissections before that. This troper is adding the example as his partner chops into the pig, and said troper would be out of the room screaming in about five seconds if she even considers harming the eyes.

After multiple attempts to put on contacts by himself, all of which have ended in failure, this troper has concluded that it's easier for him to clear ''IWannaBeTheGuy'' on Impossible than to put them on successfully.

This troper remembers seeing an ad in a magazine featuring a picture of an eye rolling back down a long tunnel-looking thing, alluded to be its socket. For the longest time after seeing it, I was afraid to rub my eyes at all for fear that that would happen.

This troper's high school literature class all had to write a chapter of a horror story for an assignment. Mine was the only one that actually got the class audibly frightened. Why? One tiny mention of EyeScream. The EyeScream ''didn't even happen'' in the story, all that was mentioned was the ''possibility''. That's how effective this trope is.

This troper did the same a few times while a teenager, though using a dull implement like a butter knife. All it takes is a steady hand, no one close enough that might cause jostling, and a normal hard contact lens (though it's still dangerous enough; the consideration of what ''could'' happen in the case of something unexpected is why it is no longer done). With relative quiet, a very light tap is still audible enough to squick out friends.

If you have or have a family history of Glaucoma, you may recall your eye doctor putting drops in your eye, followed by a little blue tube light thingy. This troper has been unable to sit still for that procedure once his family informed him the tube actually ''touched'' his eye.

This troper has has Best's Disease, a genetic condition where a specific kind of fat builds up and hardens in the eye. In most cases, this can be operated on - not so for this one, who has it in the exact center of the eye. It causes a permanent "ever-swirling fish-eye lens" vision error in the center of vision field of the affected eye.

This troper has a dog and a cat who didn't used to get along well. The dog wanted to play with the cat all the time, but the cat didn't, and usually swatted or scratched him on the snout. One time, her claw got his eye instead. The worst part? He didn't give up afterwards.

This troper's dog injured its eye when she was a kid. Dude to a crappy veterinarian....it rotted. Now this troper has such a severe phobia of puncturing or otherwise injuring her eyes that she wrapped towels and padding on the sharp, pointy tips of her bedposts and the corner of her bedside table.

Have you ever somehow gotten a zit on the edge of the inside of your eyelid? Getting rid of it is not easy.

Thankfully, no. I have gotten zits on the inside of my nose before.

My friend's reaction to me telling her all the nasty things they warned me about that can go wrong with contact lenses... like why you shouldn't wash them in tap water.

This troper once heard a story about a boy getting stung in the eyeball by a bee.

This troper was friends with a girl down the street whose mother had a glass eye. For whatever reason, her mother told me about it but not her daughter, so when I inevitably mentioned it to my friend, she freaked.

This troper's father helped a dumb dog who had got hit by a car.Poor bitch's eyeball was hanging out of its head,attached by the jumping nerve endings.Guh.This troper's dad?He took sugar packets left over from his coffee and poured it into the socket and popped the dogs eye back in. Turns out pops not only saved the dog's vision,he saved the family 300 bucks for surgery.

Also,this troper went to bed and woke up blind.She freaked and ran out in full summer sunlight in a panic--couldn't see squat.All the anime she hadn't seen,the games she hadn't played,and the books she hadn't read.She got better.Turns out she caught pinkeye somehow at college.Her family treated her like a leper and laughed at her misfortune.She got them back tho...

While at a resident camp, one of the roommates of this troper tried to put on eyeliner without looking at the mirror. She completely missed her eye lid and touched the top of her eyeball with the eyeliner pencil. She said she didn't feel it but the other 3 roommates and I saw it. A few hours later, her eye got a huge bulging vein on her eyeball where her pencil touched.

This Troper absolutely cannot stand anything being near her eyes, other than her glasses. Anyone else tries and she will instinctively flail an arm in their direction to make them back off.

This Troper has chickens, and the roosters seem fond of gouging each others' eyes out with their spurs.

This Troper once, as a child, picked up a bamboo stick he found in the street, tried to look through it to see if it was hollow, and with it held right up to my eye, walked into a wall, jabbing it ''right'' in. It really is a miracle I still have both my eyes.

This troper once dated a girl who had lost her right eye to cancer as a small child. We never talked about it while we were dating (I can only assume the experience was rather traumatizing for her), but she did have a rather lovely glass eye in its place.

This troper was treated to a lovely description by her next door neighbour about injections he has to have in his eyes to help his failing eyesight. Cue lots of shuddering from this troper.

This troper's brother discovered he had a rare genetic condition that caused him to have extreme allergic reactions to some medicines. Said allergic reaction manifests as his immune system attacking his own body with such ferocity that the whites of his eyes were sloughing off, leaving his eyes a rather demonic red. He had to watch as a scalpel was used to scrape the dead tissue off, several times, over the course of a day. Furthermore, he can't ever take a painkiller stronger than acetaminophen - and he's in the U. S. Army.

Narrowly averted for this troper. I was helping my dad in his tool room, when his reciprocating saw's blade exploded for some reason. A shard hit me in the eyebrow.

Not at all rare, that's why smart saw operators will be sure to wear their safety glasses. You should see what happens when a CIRCULAR saw blade shatters, or an angle grinder explodes. Then there's arc welding...they wear those iconic masks for a reason, you know. Shop teachers call it "welding flash", doctors call it "UV keratitis".

This Troper's grandmother once had to have her cornea replaced with an artificial one. The doctors filmed the procedure, and gave her a copy, which she played for anyone brave enough to watch. Just to be nice to those with a sensitive disposition, I'm going to spoiler-tag the description. (Although, if you ''are'' one of those, '''what are you doing reading this page in the first place?''') a fixed view of her eye, zoomed in so tight you can't even see the eyelid. She's staring straight at the camera. The doctor uses a scalpel (of course, it's zoomed in so tight you can only see the business end of the various instruments) to cut a slit into the eye at the point where the cornea meets the sclera. It takes the doctor a few tries to get the slit just right. Then, he uses a miniature version of a dentist's hook probe to scrape out the backside of the cornea, removing everything except the outermost layer. Once he's done with that, he inserts the replacement cornea, and uses the same probe to unfold and position it. It takes maybe ten minutes, and he doesn't even have to stitch the slit (it will heal by itself).

Those links have got to be the most unsettling NoodleImplements ever.

This troper plays this trope for laughs with his friends. If you order a steamed fish, he will dig out the eyeballs with a toothpick, slit the cheeks and stuff the eyeballs in there, since the cheeks are one of the nicer parts of the fish. The best incidents were during a school vacation (literally), where the teachers noted that we weren't eating the fish and proceeded to grab the dish from us like a certain anime character. Every single day, this happened, until they felt bad for this troper's table, and gave us their black pepper crab. This troper and his friends almost felt bad for the teachers. ''Almost''.

In a Gundam RP, this troper's evil character Katherine Daille does this to Kirina, an enemy pilot to make sure that Kirina cannot pilot well ever again.

This troper once got a bad mosquito bite in her eyebrow. Cue massive swelling of eye and freaking out and hospitals. Was not fun. And she still has the scar!

This troper is currently wearing a bandage on his eye after a cat scratched him. No big injury; it's there mostly to prevent it from getting dirty, but his mother was terrified because apparently, if the white part of the eye is ripped, it will release antigens that the body's defenses doesn't recognize and will attack them. The worst part? Apparently you need an operation to remove the eye, lest you wanna lose BOTH.

This troper once had a dream where there seemed to be a tiny ''hair'' protruding from his eyeball. He tweezed it ''extremely'' carefully to find that a tiny piece of bone came out with the hair. (None of this hurt, but it was naturally odd...)

I was recently diagnosed with some sort of virus, having had increasingly frequent "attacks" of feeling a stabbing pain in my left eye whenever I blunk. The morning I finally went to the doctor, I honestly felt like ripping my eye right out of its socket just to make the pain stop. Fortunately, I held off from doing that until I saw the doctor, and ended up being prescribed eye drops that actually work pretty well. But the {{irony}} of this whole situation is, the fucking ''eye doctor'' I went to before didn't catch this. She just said, "Oh, it's an astigmatism. Here, have some new glasses that you specifically said you didn't come in for. That'll be 350 dollars. Bye!" The guy who diagnosed the virus and prescribed the eye drops was just a regular physician, as opposed to an expert on eye care.

This Troper once woke up "blind" when she was 5... turns out she had severe conjunctivitis and the pus had glued her eyes shut in such a way that she thought she'd opened her eyes when she didn't. Freakiest half hour of her life (that's how long it took her parents to react to her crying and screaming).

That same thing happened to me when I was like, 4 or 5, but it was just in one eye. Got taken care of with a washcloth.

My oldest cat, Timon, looks pretty normal... Until he looks directly at you. The pupil in his right eye is completely dilated, and thanks to what the vet thinks is a tumor, the eye itself bulges out a little, while his left eye is completely normal. Fortunately, it doesn't cause him any pain (that we know of, but we're pretty sure he'd let us know if it did), but still... I haven't looked at my kitty without flinching for almost a year.

This troper once was going through the produce section at his local supermarket and picked out some jalapenos for a meal. I accidentally poked my finger through one of them, and wiped the juice off on a napkin. Later, I caught an allergy attack, and touched my eyes to wipe away the tears. Needless to say, this was a bad idea, as it led to the worst stinging and burning pains he had ever felt.

If it's any consolation, I've done worse. Blair's After Death Sauce is about 20 times hotter than a jalapeno, and soon after getting my first bottle of it, I learned the hard way that washing your hands after using it is ''essential.''

...You mean you went to take a whiz?

Occasionally I enjoy squicking people by sticking my finger in my eye and moving my contact lense around. Suprise, not really EyeScream! People still hate it, though.

THis troper had massive eye surgery when she was 5 years old, eye surgery that involved taking the eyes out of their sockets to operate on them, and to top it off this troper was also one of the unlucky few who experienced anesthesia awareness during that surgery, for those unaware of it, it's a rare condition where the anesthesia does NOT put you out, it just paralyzes you so you can't move or speak, but you are still awake and can still hear, see and FEEL everything that goes on.......sweet dreams everyone

This troper has the occasional pimple like thing in his eyes. Which he HAS to squeeze out, because it once lead to a build-up of oil and his Maibomian-Glands swelled to epic proportions. They had to be SCRAPED out with a scalpel. And the surgeon had to talk the trainees through the whole process...

A more comical version of this trope. was learning about how the pupil shrinks when exposed to light in her 6th grade Science class. She and her partner took turns shining a flashlight in each others eyes. However her partner discovered that her pupils contract and dialate at a ridiculously fast rate. She became so amused watching said Troper's pupils grow and shrink under the flashlight, that this Troper thought she was going to be blinded.

This troper once accidentally hit herself in the eye while she was turning a page in a book. Papercut, right on the eye. I've never experienced a greater pain in my life.

ThisTroper has a cat which suffers from the unusual condition of it's eyelids being turned inwards. This causes it's eyelashes to rub against the surface of it's eyes. As far as we know, it only causes mild iritation, but we occasionally have to clean off the black gunky stuff that oozes out of it's eyes.

When this troper was five, she had one of those spinning Flying Fairy toys. Y'know, those things where you pull the string and it catapults spinning into the air, flailing it's hard-foam wings and leaving havoc and chaos in its wake? Yeah. Well, anyway - those things were pretty harmless as long as they were grounded, but when they took off? One strike from those foam wings could blind a person for life, and in my case, it did. But when people ask me why I'm completely blind in my right eye, I usually tell them a cooler story than "Yeah, I got owned by a spinning foam fairy."

This troper's father put a cigarette out in her left eye when she was a child. Fortunately it hit the cornea and not the iris or I'd be completely blind, but my vision in that eye is a lot worse than my right, and I still have a yellow patch on my cornea near the corner of my eye. This was twenty-seven years ago, so it's probably never going to go away.

Why would anybody do that?

This tropette's cat once accidentally put his claw through her eyelid and... like, looped around to the same side. It hurt.

Nothing as gutwrenching (or forensic) as the other examples, but a bit on the funny side: You'd think I'd have learned by now that recreational swimming and lack of goggles don't mix, especially after one incident at age 14 in which, as I swam my way out of the summer camp pool, I caught a camper's big toe... right in the eyeball. I wasn't even out of the water before I started screaming in pain, but with my height, (and voice) it was quite a spectacle when I did.

I'm still foggy on the feline mishap that convinced us to always walk the dog with a leash, but it's implied to be this.

When I was a ''little'' kid, I went to a daycare that shared backyards, and occasionally duties, with the neighboring home. One of the ladies from said home had what she described as a corn on her eyeball.

This Troper recently woke up with pain, redness, and swelling in her right eye. Assuming it was merely a scratch and would heal on its own, she patched it over and went about her daily business. Two days later, when the pain had intensified to an unbearable level, she went to her eye doctor, who told uttered possibly the most unsettling words an eye doctor can tell you: "You'll be okay, I promise." Turns out, she had a pair of ulcers on her cornea, which were infected with staph. Moral of the story: Don't sleep in your contacts, kids.

Occasionally I get cornea cuts due to my long fringe or eyelashes. They don't hurt as such, but they are... uncomfortable... in a 'gristle in the back of my eyeball feeling' way. On the other hand, I get to regale people with tales of the time I biked home with no handlebars, no brakes, a heavy as bag and a violin case, all with an eyepatch.

This Troper had laser eye surgery, PRK, not the comparatively more cuddly and friendly Lasik. Before undergoing the surgery you're given a packet which includes such gems as "a smell reminiscent of barbecue may be detected by some patients during the surgery when the laser starts burning into your eye". Lovely. The actual procedure is pretty much exactly the Ludovico Technique down to the reverse eye clamps and the music in the background (this troper did request some Ludwig van, but was given musak instead). Since this is an eye operation, not only are you awake for the entire procedure, you see the whole thing too. Which leads to such realizations as when all of a sudden everything goes quite blurry and then you see a pair of forceps moving something translucent away from your eye that they just removed the outer layer of your eye. In addition to this PRK has a tendency to have quite a long healing time, during which you become extremely photosensitive for a few months, like wearing sunglasses at night and in a room with all the blinds drawn and all the lights off because the ambient light is still too intense.

It's secondhand, but a friend once told me about a fight he'd seen where a guy got punched so hard his eye popped right out.

While it wasn't in the EYE (thank goodness for that) this troper once got stung by a wasp just a few millimetres from the eye. The skin was thin enough in that area to make it BLEED. This has also caused a fear of stinging insects for me.

In sixth grade, this troper was working in a group with two boys. One boy had a tiny crumpled paper from part of the fringe on a sheet of notebook paper. He flicked it into the air, and it somehow landed in the other boy's eye. It was in his bottom eyelid near his tear duct, and he had to go to the nurse to get it out. Before he went, though, he pulled down his eyelid and showed us. Totally gross.

This troper once roomed with a person who was unbalanced to say the least. One night, after he did some freaked-up stuff, he threw a pocket knife at my head. I managed to turn so it didn't go into my face as he planned, but it did manage to go sideways between my face and glasses and scratch off a significant part of my left eye. After getting a new roommate and learning that, yeah, that eye was blind now, my only consolation was having a bunch of custom eyepatches made that I wear all the time. My favorite is one that looks like Adiane's from Gurren Lagann.

This troper used to wear contacts almost every day. Also during this time, I fought with my sister often. Said sister had long nails. This particular incident included all of these things. We were in the back seat of the car, on the way home from somewhere, and we got into a fight. During this fight, she tried to scratch me, and she caught my eye with the end of her nail. I don't notice much of anything at first, since I was preoccupied with fighting, but after we finished, I realized that something was off with my vision, like there was a pale eyelash on top if it. I assumed my contact had slipped and folded, and tried to fix it. Half of the contact came out, and the rest stayed in my eye. My little sister had ''slit my contact in half '''while it was in my eye'''.''

Either your sister is the reincarnation of an ancient martial master, or she has been killed and replaced by some sort of ninja.

This troper was planning to have eye surgery as soon as he graduated, but after reading the Real Life section of this trope, is rethinking it and just rediscovered love for his glasses.

This troper has Von Willebrand Disease, which prevents blood from clotting normally, and causes nosebleeds to happen much easier. Twice, I've spent two hours stemming the blood flow any way I can, only to have the blood back up through my sinuses and come out of MY EYES. Oh, and this first happened when I was 4 years old.

This troper once heard a story from her mom (an optometrist) about a man who, an attempt to shoot himself in th head, shot himself straight through the eyes instead.

This troper had to literarely face an eye surgery at young years of which most is a blurr by now, but the memories of fingers diving in her eye sockets/toucing her eye balls and sharp objects being brought near it. No need to say she has very very sensitive eyes till now, combined with a great sensitivity about anything to get close to or in her eyes, applying eyeliner is almost impossible and contact lenses even more so as her eyes twitch wilder than a chameleon's then.

This troper has lost his left eye, even after numerous surgeries to save it. By numerous I mean 5, two of which within three months. Problems still persisted until eventually the eye just "died" off in that vision completely vanished. Upon seeing a doctor about this, it turned out that ''the nerves within the eye died off entirely and signs of function ceased entirely, complete with the iris and the pupil going black''. The eye couldn't stay or else necrosis would set in, and at that point would not take long to kill someone. As of that, this troper now has a glass eye and on occasion likes to wear an eyepatch.

Last night, I had a dream where I came down with a medical condition. This medical condition made it so my right eye's outer layer would slowly thicken over time until I couldn't see through it. So every once in a while I had to pull the eye from it's socket and PEEL it, like you would an orange or a hard boiled egg. So I'd peel it, until it was entirely raw and bloody, and then I'd jam it back into it's socket and blink away the blood and there you had it, I could see with it again. Until the next time. But that wasn't the weird part. No, the weird part was that even though I had pulled the eye out so there was just an empty socket, I could still feel the eye as I peeled it. Not the empty hole, but the eye still in my hands. I could feel the peeling AS IT OCCURRED. It quite stung. Ever since I remembered having that dream, my right eye has felt a bit odd all day.

This troper has a habit of itching his eyes. This troper is also the only person in the house that uses Cayenne pepper. This troper recently sprinkled some cayenne on his taco meat to give it a little flavor. ''This troper did not wash his hands''. When this troper gets an itch in his left eye after supper, HilarityEnsues. This troper then tries to rub the pepper out of his left eye ''without washing the rest off of his hands first!'' This troper is ashamed.

This tropette had to have three eye surgeries, one when she was 2, 5, and 10 years old, first for what the doctor called "wandering eyes", then for over-correcting of the wandering eyes causing them to cross, and then for the wandering eyes again. Her eyes were extremely painful after, and opening them caused a pinkish goo to spill out. The worst part was that two or three days after, she had to put drops in them. Opening her eyes was pure TORTURE, and having that crap in them was even worse. Words cannot describe how thankful she is that at 17, the problem seems to have been fixed.
