    Hmm I gotta look into that. Yup never heals.

    There’s a new thing where they have been able to reshape the lens by first acidifying it, then returning it to normal after massaging it into a new shape… Rabbit eyes so far, not human… Because rabbits can’t scream like…like…like they were reshaping their eyeballs with acid.

      Unfun fact: Rabbits actually can scream, I have had the misfortune of hearing it. It’s not a sound you forget.

      when you say lens, do you mean cornea? i thought most myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism was caused by problems with the shape of the cornea.

      ok, i looked up this treatment, and it says “animal tissue tests”, not “animal tests”, so i suspect the rabbits are long past the point of being bothered :|
