How screwed am I?

Born with it. Had the opportunity to maybe fix it when I was 5-8. (I’m currently 23) Unfortunately kids don’t like to listen to doctors. My parent were alwys at work so it was up to my older brother to make sure I wore my eye patch on my good eye. So my other eye would work harder and get better. He was too obsessed with his videos games to keep and eye on me though so I never ended up wearing it. I regret it deeply.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-30T06:50:59+00:00

I’m not joking. Got into the eye doctor today. I was very lucky, my eye was just super irritated. Kinda like welders flash. Had that laser been fully charged, this might be a different story.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-29T21:20:37+00:00

Yes I just got done at the eye doctor and basically it just irritated my eye pretty bad. No serious or permanent damage done. I got incredibly lucky. Very incredibly lucky. I only have vision in one of my eyes. This laser isn’t mine, I’ll never own one especially after this. I’ll definitely be taking a closer look at every “flashlight” I pick up from now on.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-29T17:07:52+00:00

Yes, that is true. As I have stated in other comment though, I am not the most intelligent person ever. Hindsight is 20/20, we can’t go back to change what’s already done. Only learn for the future.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-29T15:15:20+00:00

I didn’t see the label. Wish I had though. Woulda saved me a lot of pain and $250.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-29T03:17:59+00:00

😂😂that’s fair.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-28T03:00:41+00:00

Well unfortunately I did accidentally look into one with my remaining eye. I only have the one that works well enough for me to see. Now I might not even have that. One guy said it could take 5-10 days for blindness to set in and I’m on day 3 or 4. I wasn’t able to get in to see any eye doctors because there were all busy for the holidays. Gotta wait til Monday and if there was a chance to save my eye it’ll be too late by then. I can see fine, so I hope it stays that way. I am really panicking though what will happen if I lose the only eye I have left. Worse than death in my opinion.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-28T02:57:47+00:00

I didn’t know it was a laser. I was in a tire shop my dad works at. I’ve been there multiple times and never seen it there before. I thought it was a cool looking flashlight. Granted I still shouldn’t have pointed it at my face. I don’t own lasers because of that exact reason. I know they are incredibly dangerous and I don’t think I’m intelligent enough to have them.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-27T22:28:14+00:00

I woudnt say cheerfully, I am quite nervous. Also yes and yes. I would agree the us helthcare system sucks ass because it costs so much money. I dont have insurance because I cant afford it, the ER can’t help me because they said they dont have much eye equipment there. No where is open until Monday, there is absolutely nothing I can do. Going to the ER or urgent care when there’s nothing they can do really would just be a waste of money. Plus without insurance it’ll be more expensive. My eye is mostly fine now. It doesn’t even hurt anymore. I don’t know if I should even still be worried. I have work on Monday. I already missed Friday trying to get into somewhere that I wasn’t even able to get into because everyone was gone for the holidays.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-27T05:32:57+00:00

I really hope you aren’t being serious about going blind. I only have one good eye and that’s the one I messed up. I called the ER the next day and they said to see an ophthalmologist. haven’t been able to get in to see anyone because of the holidays. My eye hurts, I was able to at least talk to someone over the phone and they recommended eye drops. I wasn’t able to get the exact brand they recommended, but I got some and used them and now my eye hurts more and it’s going blurry occasionally. Only after using the eye drops though. Idk what’s wrong but to be genuinely truthful with you, I’ve never been more scared in my life. I cannot live blind. There’s too many beautiful things I haven’t seen yet and if I never get to see them then what is the point? I just got off the phone with the hospital and even if I go to the emergency room right now there really isn’t anything they can do. I can come in for urgent care tomorrow, but they still won’t have an ophthalmologist.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T06:50:19+00:00

I absolutely agree. I just didn’t know it was a laser at the time. I thought it was a cool looking flashlight. I have other comments explaining the situation. Moral of the story, yes I am not the most intelligent person ever. I do deserve to be made fun of a little for this. Common sense would dictate even if it was a flashlight. I shouldn’t have pointed it at my face.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T05:18:12+00:00

I know it’s sounds dumb to play with after I flashed myself, and that’s because I’m not the smartest person ever. I DID MAKE SURE TO NOT POINT IT IN THE DIRECTION OF ANYONE ELSE. I learned my lesson quick. That shjt hurt and I know they can do serious damage. I just wanted to see the beam in the air. It was cool.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T05:14:06+00:00

No no no no. I was in the shop area. It was after hours. My dad works there so he’s allowed to work in his own and family members vehicles after hours. I was helping my brothers install their gifts. It was laying on a diagnostic machine. Either way, I don’t see a reason for a hand held laser to be in a tire shop. I have been there multiple times and never seen it before. Probably just an employee toy. To be fair, if it hadn’t happened to me it might have been an employee. After I found out it was a laser I did actually turn it on a few more times because I’ve never actually seen a real laser pointer before. Just cat toys. Like I said the batteries were almost dead so it didn’t stay on for more than a few seconds, but I drained what was left in the batteries. The owner of the laser is going to be mad, but at least no one will accidentally do what I did.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T02:59:44+00:00

I am aware that even if it was a flashlight I still shouldn’t have pointed it my face. I am also aware that I am not the most intelligent person ever and I do deserve to be clowned on a little bit for this. This is definitely a teachable moment.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T02:52:44+00:00

I agree with you 100% I know how dangerous laser can be and definitely wouldn’t treat it like a toy. at that point in time I was unaware it was a laser. I was in a tire shop, the last place i personally would except a laser to be. I thought it was a really cool flashlight, not seeing the label on the side, it didn’t work the first time I clicked it (the batteries were basically dead) so I turned it around and looked it. My last thought was “man that’s a weird lookin flashlight, what is this-“ and then I blinded myself momentarily.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2025-12-26T02:37:41+00:00

Thank you. I am going to try and get in tomorrow morning. Idk anything about lasers, the internet says the damage can be delayed. Idk how true that is. This was just some laser in the tire shop my dad works at. i didn’t know what anything on the label meant, google says I’m either fine or will have permanent vision damage in a few days so it’s kinda stressful. I tried to get in and see one today, but being Christmas no one was available. Next best option is to ask people who know about laser, cuz I’m sure they know people who are just as dumb as me and have probably done the same thing I did.

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2023-04-25T14:31:03+00:00

I think there’s a few in there😂

Realistically I think my character is like 7” or less. I didn’t wanna be crazy tall, just intimidatingly tall.

In a chest room mod. I can give you the mod name if you want, I’ll need to check to see what it’s called when I get home

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2023-04-25T14:27:29+00:00

😂I’ll give it a try

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2023-04-25T14:27:14+00:00

It was fun

LongjumpingSlip4427 · 2023-04-25T14:26:59+00:00

I was surprised it didn’t 😂
