Is the first image really necessary? It might be a bit shocking to those who are squeamish about that sort of thing. ccromwell 02:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

- Yeah that picture was a little shocking to see. Not unnecessarily graphic... but it was a bit weird to see.
- BTW, was there a Feature Picture section -- why was this chosen? MrMacMan Talk 03:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Once again disgusting picture on frontpage
I wonder why wikipedia has decided to put gross anatomical pictures frequently to front page. They say that "wikipedia will not be censored". That's great, but this is not about censorship. I fully accept these pictures on related articles, but people should have right to decide whether they want to see them or not. Censorship is denying right to express opinions. Picture of person under surgery on wikipedia frontpage has nothing to do with freedom of speech. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.145.218.177 (talk) 08:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] These pictures are disturbing
Please!!! I thought I was gonna have a nice day today, no scary pictures of surgeries on the eyes! I mean, not everyone is as callous and stoic as medical personnel are trained to be. --Dennis Valeev 08:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Agreed!!!
[edit] I disagree
Look, this picture caught all of your attention and made you write on the discussion page because it was such a dramatic picture. If you don't like the picture don't click on the link, just go to another page... I am intrigued by these pictures and it would really be unfortunate if there were none on wikipedia.
[edit] Never knew this surgery existed
I never knew this surgery existed, thanks for informing me Arad esp. because it was in the main page. :) Hmm so I wonder, can they change the eye color permanantly too? If they have gotten this far, I am sure they must have made progress on how to change eye color without the need for contacts? --Parker007 21:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- You have got to be kidding, why would you want to change an eye color? btw, who created this surgery, its an owesome surgery. yeah, that right, we should mention the history of this surgery.--Towaru 22:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I had this surgery as a kid (after prism-glasses etc somehow failed to stay on my schoolboy head for long) and i've had what looks like a scar on my eyeball for the last 20-odd years! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tittybiscuits (talk • contribs) 14:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adult Strabismus Surgery - Experience
Correction of Adult Strabismus can involve two choices: injection of BOTOX (which can be a temporary fix) and surgery. Several ophthalmologists consulted did not recommend BOTOX implying that it can cause more problems (eye-droop, etc) than it can cure. To allow a person with strabismus to see a single-image, eyeglasses are usually ground with a correction called prisms. Prism values usually start at value +1 and go up from there as the problem gets worse. Surgery is usually considered when the prism correction to eyeglasses normally exceeds +10 (i.e. +5 in each eye). This means that a correction of +5 (out) will make each eyeglass lense thicker on the outside edge of the lense. A correction of +5 (in) will make each eyeglass lense thicker on the inside edge of the lense. For a person with myopia (near-sightedness), along with strabismus, this will make eyeglass lenses thick. To correct the strabismus problem through surgery, the physician normally involved is a pediatric (child) ophthalmologist because the demand for this procedure is far greater in children than adults. The surgery itself is normally out-patient and takes about two (2) hours. Usually, one eye will be adjusted but sometimes both eyes are corrected. The patient will experience 'blood-shot' eye(s) for a few weeks after the procedure. In some cases, the surgery's effects are temporary: after a few years a prism of +2 may be needed in each lense again; after a few more years, +4 in each lense. The time to another surgery, if the initial correction starts to deteriorate, is historically ten (10) years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki55jack (talk • contribs) 18:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
