Default While at the ER today, I found out I have quite good vision.

Right is 20/25 and left is 20/15 :hsguh:

At work this morning I got this acid stuff we use to clean the grill off with in my eye. I flushed it out at work, but it was still feeling wierd so I went to the ER.

So I had this:



on my eye for 40 minutes with a constant flush of saline. Now I have this red spot on the sclera (the white part), which will go away in a couple days. The doc said if I hadn't gone in I could have gone blind

I stick it in other people's eyes. h:

Actually the one we use at Stanford ER is called a Morris lens and it's like a giant contact lens. We also numb the person's eyes before we stick it in, so you can't really feel anything.

Good job genius. The acid probably scalded our eye and now you are left with super hero type vision.


Whats your super hero name going to be... and are you going to use your super vision to fight for justice or use it against society? Just wondering.
