WHAAAAAAAAA!: What Eyeball Stitches Look Like

July 23, 2012 / cornea replacement isn't a new procedure it's just not everyday you see the results of it, doctors, eyeballs, eyeballs are the windows to the soul (and those are some pretty sweet window treatments!), eyes, good job, good lookin', medicine, neato, science, seeing things, stitches, whaaaaaaaaa! it's just...so beautiful

These are Redditor Philawesomeraptor's girlfriend's eyeball stitches. She recently got a cornea transplant after suffering from a degenerative eye disease, and this is the result. Admittedly, it's kind of beautifully terrifying. Of course, if I had a degenerative eye disease and needed a new cornea I wouldn't care if they f***ing stapled the thing in there, just as long as I could see again. Thanks, science! Now do hoverboards.

Thanks to Pico De Gallo, who got all pissed off when I tried to take a bite of him. Then don't sound so tasty!

    sharigan!

  • Best part is the center part, the transplant is part of dead person's eyes...

  • It looks cool. Science is wonderful.

    Worst thing ever. I tore and detached my retina and had to have dissolvable stitches in my eyeball after surgery and then put vaseline in my eye every few hours for over a week. Seriously, I feel their pain, I would rather chop off my pinky than go through something like that again.

    This is without question, the most unsettling thing that I have seen all morning.
