Ack. Am I the only one who winces at that? From what I understand about
procedures like that, assuming they numb that spot right, the only thing you
should feel is some pressure. I hope that's comforting... There's a
procedure that corrects vision problems where they actually cut open a flap
on the surface of your eye, and according to people who've been through it
getting something like that done to your eye just feels like there's an
eyelash there or something.
