The air was stoic with the immense emptiness that hallowed the dorm room. With Vicky already gone to a new school, you couldn’t help but feel guilty despite her reassurance that this new path was something that she needed in order to get back to her true roots. Still, with how everything had transpired, you still felt a sense of guilt. It was only natural, considering you were now dating her ex-boyfriend, the one she may not have been entirely kind, yet was emotionally still holding on to.

It didn’t appear that Heeseung thought too much into the situation, in fact, you wondered if he had felt the slightest bit of guilt, considering the man was nothing but all smiles and affection ever since you both shared your first night of passion. Ever since, he was inseparable from you.

……………

“I did it….I finally got her….she’s mine…I’ve been waiting for so long…yearning so hard….waiting for the moment where I can have her all to myself, protect her, love her, cherish her, see more of her, and witness the pain, sadness, happiness, anger, and chaos that lies within her. I can’t wait to see every single inch of her, and memorize the hidden corners of her body, the inner workings of her mind, and the various depths of tone in her voice. Finally…..she’s mine.”

……………

The moment you both made it official and broke the news to Vicky, It didn't take long for Heeseung to convince you to come back with him to his room, figuring his frat house was way more convenient than your single dorm, which it indeed was. It also didn’t take long for him to pin you against the mattress, floating above you as he positioned himself to take in a full sight of your lying form, hair and all.

‘God damn she’s so beautiful….and she's fucking all mine….’

“What are these?” you chuckled as you laid flat back on the bedspread and saw a pair of glasses on the nightstand.

“My glasses…”

“You wear glasses?”

“I used to….back in high school.”

“You don’t anymore?”

“Nope…got Lasik a while back…”

Hovering atop of you while propping himself up by the stealth of his straight arm, his hand firmly planted next to your head, he remained in a dominant position overhead of you…..gleaming down at you with his black, feasting eyes.

Taking the glasses with his free hand, he puts them on, delicately sliding them upwards along the bridge of his nose with the tip of his finger. Once more, he looks down at you, this time through the clear lenses decorating his face.

Still remaining propped high up above you, paralleled to your frame, he bites down his lower lip as he raises his brows at you with an intrigued and look of desiring amusement, his infamous bedroom stare. Appreciating the eye contact through the handsome stare beneath the framed lens, you felt his free hand slowly travel against your outer thigh, up to your hip, reaching your waist, where he grabs and squeezes the side of it.

Narrowing the widened shape of his eyes, he leans down and kisses you, deeply and passionately, the sound of his tongue dancing with your own, accompanied by the sweet smacking of your lips meeting and clicking against each other filled the room. A sound that was so pleasant…and so new to the area, since he admitted that you were the only woman he had ever brought back to his room. Something that was a big no-no for him, even with Vicky, yet he was so welcoming and open to have you there with him. So much in fact, that each day he issued hints in desiring for you to remain and live with him, something that you took time to consider, but eventually catered to, at the expense of his constant urging expression…not to mention that one night where the decision was sealed for you….

“ You’re not leaving.”

“I have to, all my stuff is in my dorm.” You softly laughed out, taking in his demanding tone lightly.

“So?....I’ll take you early in the morning, besides I don’t want to drive you back just yet. Stay here….”

“Heeseung it will be easier if I-“

With swift movement, you felt him suddenly hovering his large frame over you from behind while you were opening the door, only to feel it gently slam shut beyond your reach as the knob slips out your grasp.

With his hand firmly laid flat on the surface of the wood panel, his free arm snakes around your waist and pulls your backside against his groin. With his face burrowed into your hair, he whispers in his usual dark and deep tone…

“I said stay…….be a good girl and just stay…..”

Breaking the kiss, he takes the glasses off and places them on you. To your surprise, the lenses were non-prescription and merely plastic.

“You replaced the lenses?” you asked as you lifted your hand to slightly adjust the delicate silver frame on your face.

“Yeah. Last year, Jake and I went to a Halloween party, and we decided to go as ourselves in High School. Since my vision is corrected, I replaced the lenses with plastic ones.” He smirks while explaining, once more biting down on his lip as he tilts his chin downward, admiring the view before him. “They look good on you….who would have thought that someone would look better than me in my own glasses.” He chuckles.

“Stop, you’re overexaggerating.” You chuckled back.

“No pretty girl…I’m not….you’re a wonderment.” He speaks softly as he reaches down and gently removes the glasses, placing them back on the nightstand as he simultaneously leans back down to kiss you.

“But if I had to choose….I like you just the way you are right now…..” he spoke against your lips, his eyes extremely narrow as he spoke, glistening with wetness that was neither tears nor the reflection of light…it was something else.

It amazed you…how close you two bonded with one another considering at this point in time, you both had barely began dating, sharing your first night after the frat party just recently. Yet you felt as if you had been with him for much longer considering the fact that there was something about Heeseung you learned and grew accustomed to…a secret that no one else, not even those such as Jake, who had been closest to him throughout his life, knew the details of the one thing you were exposed to….all beginning a night that took place one week after you began dating.

He brought you comfort, joy, and protection, the things that you hadn’t felt at this level, it was so intense. The way he loved and displayed his affection, it was unlike anything you ever felt before, and yet, it was so hard for you to understand or figure just how he could make you feel that way.

It could have been the way he touched you….how he could swiftly move back and forth between rough and gentle. It could have been the way he spoke to you, a low and deep tone that would escalate to a more heightened and softer pitch or go even lower and darker in tone. It could have been the way he stared at you, his eyes would range from a look of peak admiration, filled with light and love that you’ve never seen a man give to a woman….and then there were times where he would peer down at you with a look of desire…lust….a look of thirst and hunger, as if he wanted to devour you but in the most sensual way he could….and he did.

You’ll never forget that night, when he took you back to the farm that you became so fond of, from when he brought you out the morning after your first night together….when your relationship came to life.

You could still remember it as clear as day...

The squeaking of the leather seating in the back, the rocking motion of the car as your bodies grinded and moved in sync, and the sweet sound of skin-to-skin contact with breathless gasps and moans, it was another night of wild and heated passion, where he repeatedly thrusted and you took it all, clenching and helplessly bouncing while he controlled your movements as you supported yourself with your hands firmly grabbing onto his shoulders.

Minutes turned to hours, and there he was once again releasing inside you with his potent essence that melted you from the inside out, causing your body to go limp and weak.

It wasn’t until that moment that you learned of a very peculiar nature about the man in front of you….the man who stared at you with loving eyes, bit his lips out of excitement whenever you made eye contact with him….the man who loved you so much that he punctured his own flesh, his teeth digging into his lip every time he gazed at your face whenever he was reminded that you really did belong to him…and that you being there in his reach was not a dream.

…………..

“Ugh…..mmm……H-Heeseung….”

“Yeah…..you want more? Tell me you want more……there’s nothing more that I want to do than to give it to you a thousand times over….”

“Mmm……ugh!.....I…..I……I w-want….want more….”

Sucking on your neck, you felt his hands drop from your waist as he relaxes his grip and settles them on your hips. His momentum slows down as he retracts from progressing in re-entering inside you…instead he slowly releases your neck as he throws his head back against the head rest. Both of you slightly sweaty from the immense orgasm you both just gifted to one another, yet the moment he was well on his way to initiate it all over again, he stops….

“…..Are you okay?”

“….yeah…just….wanted to take a moment to….calm myself down.” Tightening his grip around your hips, he pulls you in for a small kiss.

“Calm yourself?” you softly inquired between each soft smack of the kiss.

“Mmhmm….”

You pulled slightly back and looked at him with a peculiar look before drifting your vision down to his chest. His shirt sticking to his skin, reflecting the quick flashback of how you both were overwhelmed by desiring each other’s touch, that you hadn’t even bothered fully undressing one another. With your dress wrinkled around your waist, his jeans loose and his shirt slightly rolled up to expose his toned abs, and your hair sticking to your skin as was his, you trailed your fingers down the lining of each muscle definition that was displayed before you. “Calm yourself from what?”

Bringing his face forward, slightly transitioning his sight from a lazy, heavy lidded look to a glare, he speaks in a growling tone…it was a tone of annoyance…frustration….or anger…..was it frustration towards you?....or was it….?

“I rather not…..hurt you….y/n.”

You blinked out of sincere confusion. “……Would you?”

Expressing a look as if he was offended by your defying response, he reaches up and slaps a new grip around your upper arms and pulls you in as he hisses through his teeth.

“Yeah I would….I fucking would…..I want to ruin you….I want to give it to you so badly….give you the stuff nightmares and screams of pleasure are made of…..you have no fucking idea….you pretty…pretty soft thing….” Gritting his teeth, he nearly snarls as he brings your face forward by the grip he had on your arms.

As he widens his eyes, his nose tip touching yours, you saw the glare mold into a malicious, sadistic, and demeaning look….it was the look of a beast, not the man that you were speaking to just a moment ago.

Still….the way he licked his lips…..the way he tried to maintain self-control….the way he gritted his teeth….you’re not sure how…but something told you that ‘love’ was still there….it was a love that was slightly different, but just as everlasting and intense….a darker love….and you wanted to see more of it. You wanted to experience all sides of this man…..just as much he wanted to experience all sides of you.

“……Its okay…..if……if you do….only if you feel like…..if you want to…….I’ll take whatever you have to give.” You couldn’t bear to make eye contact as you spoke, instead you opted to stare at his chest as you fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. The beads of sweat dripping down from your collarbone and onto your nude breasts felt cold as you found yourself in a state of shock, intrigue, and fear at the feel of his tightening grip.

Scoffing, he bit his lip as he continued to glare at you with that eerie look on his face. “Don’t say anything you will regret…..you have no idea what you’re asking for….yyyyyy/nnnnnnn.” At the mentioning of your name, his fingers dig into your skin, his eyes widening as the sclera expands and takes over the space his iris had occupied, instead, the circle of black coloring shrinks, enhancing that unsettling look in his eye…..it was nearly murderous and demonic.

Yet, you remained true to your heart and gut instinct…despite feeling a level of fear that was equivalent the level of joy and comfort he gave you……it was all so contradicting, and yet you needed to see more…you needed to see all of it….the two sides of love he had in store for you.

“……True…but does that change the fact that I still want to see it?” You slightly spoke back.

Hissing once more, his countenance transitioned, his glare lessened as he developed a look of being seemingly challenged and intrigued. “Oh-ho really now?.......You sure about that?......hmm?....fucking answer me.”

His grip on your waist tightens, he pulls you against his chest harshly with effortless speed and violently harsh, practically enveloping you with his mighty frame.

“Well? Fucking say it if you feel so strongly about it…….I’ll fucking devour you…you have no idea how long I’ve been keeping myself at bay…..hiding…..refraining from scaring people…..from scaring you……but by all means….you want to release the beast…..you want me to show you how I can love?...You want me to make you scream?....To make you beg? Go right on ahead baby…..fucking say it……”

With his strong hand, he grips your neck and forces you to look into his blackened eyes….the first time you saw them matte black, no longer carrying that glistening shine. There was a darkness that casted over his features that made him look more sharp and defined…..his smirk no longer carried the essence of a prince-like grace, instead, it was a devilishly handsome….sadistic and malevolent, crooked smile.

“I…..” you started. He raised a brow as you watched his smile widening…..bearing teeth.

“….weeeeeelllllll??......” he urges. “…..Say it…..”he whispered out.

“I……I want to…..only if you feel like it….” You lean in, tapping your lips against his as you repeat with a delicate, soft and airless whisper….

“…..only if you feel like it…..”

Sealing his lips with a tender kiss, you reach up and caress his cheek, his strong grip around your neck tightens yet remained soft. You’re not sure if he was stunned, shocked, or pleasantly surprised, maybe it was all of the above…either way, he took a moment before he finally started to move and caress your body….at least…. that’s how it started.

…………..

“Ah! Ugh! Oh my G-…..ah! mmmmm!!…”

A cycle of moans, gasps, and screams penetrated through your lips as you felt the uncontrollable tempo of his sexual wrath taking place and pleasantly destroy your body. It was similar to that of the first night, whenever you pushed or tried to create distance, he pulls and seals your bodies together. Only this time….it was much more relentless and intense…..there was more hunger and less restraint…..as if there was a side to him that had created a balance….yet that side was not here this time…..

“No-no…..this is what you asked for riiiiiight?……..Fucking let me eat you….let me feast on your skin……let me tear your body to pieces…..”

“Ugh!Ugh! Ah!” the raging pleasure of his motions overtook your body, it was both painful and euphoric. Thighs shaking, hips gyrating, and your chest heaving, you felt as if he was digging into your soul with the way he fucked you, it was hard, intense, and rough, more so than his usual manner since you’ve started dating, yet it brought you to a peak of euphoria that you had never felt before.

“H-Heeseung ugh! P-please! Oh my God!”

Pausing his motions, he glares at you while holding you by the neck, feeling the blood rushing through as your body catches its breath from his overzealous manner of loving you. Lowly speaking, he suddenly and harshly brings your face closer to his as he licks over your lips, admitting a small bite on your bottom lip before whispering…..

“Wrong…fucking…name……” with a deep and dark chuckle, he commences his movements…..at an excruciating pace.

The loud smacks of your thighs and derriere landing on his lap, the high pitch screams of mercy, the strands that flew all around from the jerked movements you were forced to succumb to as he grabbed, squeezed, lifted, and slammed you in a cycle of up and down, back and forth, and rolling movements…burrowing his length deeper inside you…..exploring new depths that had never been breached before.

“Ah! Ugh!! W-what are you doing to me!? Please!!! Oh my God!!” a lightening jolt of immense pleasure with a sharp sting spreads throughout your body, causing you to experience a sense of paralysis as your body grew too weak, succumbing to any sense of mercy he may….or may not be willing to give.

Biting, nibbling, sucking, and harshly chuckling against your skin, he varied his grip between your waist, hips, and rear cheeks as he created a new momentum and tore you apart in ways that were deemed unimaginable.

“Please!!!”  You screamed as the black tunnel clouded your vision, caving in and narrowing your sight to almost pure darkness. “Oh my God please….ugh! I…I’m gonna cum!!” you screamed as you dig your fingers into his shoulders, pleading for him to allow you….and himself to give in.

“Fuck…!!!” he groans against your skin and finally, he releases.

Fully drenched in sweat, the both of you catch your breath with the pounding of your chest plates tapping each other. His grip does not loosen, yet it wasn’t as harsh like it was during his ravishing display of feasting and dominating your body.

Sitting upright with the little bit of strength you could gather, you took a good look at his face to see that the sinister and malicious countenance remained, staring right back at you.

Breathing hard, his mouth slightly parted, with his head leaned back, he glares under half lidded eyes, but he doesn’t say anything…not a single word. Instead, he continues to catch his breath.

You felt your gaze turned to that of a sympathetic one…something told you that this man has been hiding a side of himself for a long time.

“You…….said ‘wrong name’ earlier…..what…..what am I supposed to call you?....if it’s not Heeseung?”

He continues to glare and breathes deeply, getting a few pumps of oxygen to replenish the air loss in his lungs, he finally speaks in a low and dark voice….

“Ethan….”

Suddenly, his sadistic countenance softens….he still had a look that could kill, yet he didn’t appear as murderous in his gaze. His hands travel upwards to your ribcage, and he gently pulls you in towards him. He was less harsh, and much gentler with his manner in pulling you in. Kissing you on your forehead, he cradles you against his chest as he wraps his arms around you, running his fingers through your hair as he tightens his hold around your lower back. Like a child, he embraces you fully, resting his chin atop of your head.

“My beautiful girl…..call me Ethan….”

At that very moment, as you recalled the past scenes of how you met Ethan, you learned bit by bit of who exactly he was, as well as Heeseung. It was strange and interesting, how both were complete opposites and yet displayed so much similarities when it came to the values of their love for you…their desire to protect you, to shelter you, and to give you warmth, in their own unique way.  

The next morning, Heeseung refrained from immediately addressing the case of his alter ego, simply stating that it was a side of him that was much darker and deeper, but still loved me just as much as he did, in his own unique way.

……………….

“Ever heard of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?”

“…Yes…..”

“Just think of it like that……Ethan is a side of me that I’ve hid and had to keep secret….he’s the maniacal side of me…..a very dark persona…..but that doesn’t deter him from loving you…from wanting to protect you.” Walking you back up to a wall, he pins you to the surface as he cups your face and dives in to you. He was still in his Heeseung state, yet he had a sliver of darkness casted over his face, as if he was going to transition, yet he remained true to the gentler side of his Dr. Jekyll face.

With a kiss on your lips, he gently pulls away and whispers….

“Just promise me you’ll love the both of us….don’t ever be afraid of Ethan….even though sometimes I’m afraid of what he’ll do to you…..he loves you in a way that Lions love flesh….sometimes he might not be able to control himself….but promise me you’ll never stop loving him…or me….always be a good girl….and love us….just like we love you.”

Nodding, you reassured Heeseung with a gentle smile. “I promise….”

"I'm tired......of all these people.....wanting to hurt you.....first Gabe....then Samuel.....Tiff....Scott......that man we saw at the theater.....why can't people just leave you alone?.....Why can't everyone just leave my pretty baby alone?" a look of sadness quickly took over the angry expression as he brushed his fingers along your cheek. Yet still, despite the sudden change in his countenance, there was something off putting about his demeanor and attitude.

"I just.....I want to take you away....that's all I want....I want us to be away from everything else....where I know you'll always be safe.....I can be nice about it.....or I can be forceful.....it all depends on how you want it y/n.....because one way or another....I'm taking you. I rather you be willing though.....so....please say yes.....tell me you'll let me keep you all to myself.....and let me take you away......I graduate in a few months....let me start everything and let me hide you away from this ugly world.......let me take you away! Say yes! Say it…..SAY IT.”

“O-okay….yes….take me away…..take me away Ethan.” You forced a soft smile, wanting to appease his desperate tone. The sudden dark chuckle that emitted from his mouth caught you off guard, and you furrowed your brows as you looked at him for an explanation.

“W-what is it? Why are you laughing like that?”

Not immediately answering, instead, you watched as Ethan displayed his usual behavior of biting his lower lip, slurping the saliva as his eyes smile at you through a widened glare. You’ve seen this expression before, yet there was something much different about the way he was issuing it….why was he laughing so darkly towards you?

“…..Ethan?” you softly spoke out, faintly smiling for reassurance.

“Heheheheheh…..wrong name….y/n.”

HIS PERSPECTIVE

Nearly five months have passed. You finished college and finally got your degree, yet you were already moving at a fast pace well before you graduated, because the moment she said ‘yes…take me away’, you became far too elated to save any bit of planning for the last minute.

To your surprise, she didn’t struggle, object, or put up much of a fight, yet you suspect that the confusion and shock hit her so hard that she remained stale in her emotions and movements. Not that you were complaining, this was for the better…..for her….and for yourself. How nice it was to finally be at peace and happiness, to have her all to yourself….in this new beautiful home….taking her with you whenever you went into work, knowing where she her location was at all times…assured that she was always safe, away and out of sight from the ugly world. Not to mention….she was finally….entirely all yours….ALL…..YOURS…..AND YOURS ONLY.

.................

“Let’s go pretty baby…..we got a plane to catch.”

“W-wait no! I….I haven’t said goodbye to-“

“You can call them when we land. Let’s go.”

“P- please…..”

“Come on pretty baby…..let me take you away…..let me do it nicely….unless you want me to be a bit forceful with it? Hmm?....you really don’t have a choice…..so just be nice…and let me take you…..let me keep you…..COME HERE.”

..................

Of course, it was abrupt and rather sudden, with you plucking her away from the environment she was used to, forcing her to enroll in online classes so suddenly, packing, and picking up everything in preparations for the move, and flying out the moment you were handed your degree. Yet it wasn’t as if you didn’t tell her…..you did. A long time ago when you initially brought up the question and asked her if she would come with you. You even warned her….that you were going to take her away…..it’s not like you were doing everything behind her back. This was something you had made evident from the very start, and was quite open about it when you asked if she would come with you…..something you were prepared to take matters into your own hands should say ‘no’…..but in your favor….she said ‘yes’ instead. How fortunate and less tedious for you.

Unlike with Vicky and the others, you cared less if they had wanted to follow you or not. You always thought that at some point, should they fall out of your good graces, which they all eventually did, you would find a suitable partner to become your wife later on. You never once thought that someone in this world existed with such inner and outer beauty, a tender voice, and wondrous personality, one that drove you to the point of insanity. You never truly felt that you would have had a fighting chance in Hell in gaining her affection since her loyalty wouldn’t permit her from breaking away from Samuel at the time. Yet you were fully prepared to get her at all costs…..but fate worked in your favor once more when she received that email….that one thing that broke her….and of course you were there to pick her back up….you had been waiting and observing her with eagle eyes. How would she have reacted if she knew….that the moment you saw her at the party that night…..you broke….you finally decided that you would plan….sabotage…..manipulate every aspect of reality so you could have her….How would she have reacted?

If Samuel hadn’t ended up revealing his true and unjust nature just in time, and broke her heart that very night….ceasing you to carry out your delicate plans in separating her from everything in the world so you could be the only one in her life to bring forth comfort.....How would she have reacted if she were to ever found out the changes that occurred with in you the moment you saw her that night? What went through your mind…..as you watched her standing there, next to the open bar at the party…..back when you were still yearning and loving her from a distance...up until the end of it...when both your lives changed at the commencing of your blossoming bond that took place much later in that same evening....

Walking in casually, watching as everyone clearing your path, rendering such obedience and courtesy as you walked past the large frenzy of dancing fools, you speared the way, looking for the bar. The one thing you needed at this very moment was a drink…..you’ve been through the most emotional turmoil and pain that you never knew existed, all due to missing and yearning for your girlfriend’s…well…your ex-girlfriends roommate…..

It had been weeks since you last saw y/n, all due to the fact that you started to distance yourself from Vicky, trying to find a different avenue of approach in gaining a way to spend time with y/n…but also….how to appeal and expose her to the truth of her obviously unfaithful boyfriend, Samuel. It frustrated you…the way she was still holding on…acting so blindly unaware, for the sake of loyalty and her dignity as a woman….a respectable woman. It was all something you both, loved and grew frustrated over. Why couldn’t she just break it off with him so you could be with her?

‘I want her….I want her so badly….I’m going insane…..I can’t stop thinking about her….I can’t stop imagining her……I need her…..’

Pausing midway, you take out your phone from the inner pocket of your blazer jacket and text Jake of his whereabouts. After hitting ‘send’, you raise your face once more and continue to walk in a stoic manner.

The guys all admired while the girls swooned, as usual.

You didn’t dress up often, but whenever the occasion called for it, you knew how to make yourself look presentable. Of course, a casual range of attire was preferable, but there was no harm in dressing up occasionally as long as you could still maintain a sense of comfort. Piercing through the opening path the crowd had cleared for you, the whispers of their esteem regard and adoration buzzed through your ears.  

……………..

“Oh my God that’s Ethan Lee….my God he looks so fine.”

“Girl I heard he stopped talking to his girlfriend…you know? The pretty one….Vicky.”

“No shit???”

“Yeah, she was talking to some of her friends on how he stopped returning her calls and texts and apparently they hadn’t even seen each other for weeks now….this might be your chance.”

“Oh my gosh I wish….he looks so cold though.”

“Girl of course he does….that’s Ethan….”

“Bro….Ethan Lee is here. Move out of the way, you don’t want to be in that man’s way.”

“Who is Ethan? Dude that guy is tall as fuck…..look how gigantic he is compared to everyone else.”

“Yea man…and don’t let his slender frame fool you…man’s got a body harder than a rock. He does so much physical training for like..sports, dance, and even rugby….don’t ever cross paths with him unless you’re in his circle of friends.”

“Ethan looks handsome like always but I love his outfit…my gosh….he looks so sexy in black.”

“The blazer, the fitted tee….the skinny jeans…..the combat style boots and that black hat…oh my God let me just have one night with him….”

“I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen Ethan without his hat….you can never see his eyes.”

“Might be a good thing….I heard that the dude looks pretty damn scary without it. But the girls say he looks handsome too…so I guess it really depends on how he wants to look at you.”

“Move out of the way! Ethan is coming….”

………………

‘Hmph…..fucking idiots. Whatever….just let me get a drink and drown out my soul…..’

Turning the corner of the corridor, you enter the wide-open kitchen, where the island displayed various bottles of liquor and beer.

‘Yup…. let’s go. Get it all out of your system, big guy.’

Delicately grabbing the bottle closest to you, while the other snagged a red solo cup from the stack nearby, you gently poured yourself a drink. You hadn’t realized that under the dim lighting, the one thing causing you such despair was standing a few feet away across the island. It wasn’t until you tilted your head back, sipping on the hard taste of pure liquor that you saw her through the narrow opening of your eye…..looking at you…

‘Oh my God…she’s here….she actually came….Vicky must have made her come out…God fucking dammit she’s so damn beautiful…..she’s wearing black….a little black dress….holy fuck her body…I can see her curves….she’s….her hair is down….she really is a goddess…..her eyes….her lips….fuck….is she wearing a different shade of lipstick? Its darker…it’s much bolder than usual…it’s a different shade of red….its like the color of….blood….and is that…..is she wearing a choker?......My God…how do I get this girl for keeps? How do I fucking get her and make her mine? I need her….I…I ….fuck…I’m losing it.’

You watched with wide eyes as you lowered your cup….you could feel that you were staring at her with peak amusement and a sickening glare. You felt the stretch in the corners of your lids the more you remained observant of her motions as she gently waves at you…smiling….softly laughing with that sweet…..sweet look in her eye.

Calming your nerves as you walk up to her, you subtly cleared your throat just before you presented yourself in front of her.

“Y/n, how have you been?”

“I’m doing good, how have you been?”

‘Fuck…there she goes again…she’s smiling at me…..she’s so gentle and soft and looking at me with those fucking gorgeous eyes….why?…how?....How……?.....Y/n…..don’t do this to me girl…..don’t do anything else…..I’m….I’m reaching a breaking point……don’t make me do it…..don’t make me into the monster that I’m about an inch away from becoming……God dammit…you’re a fucking wonderment……’

She didn’t do anything…she didn’t need to….in fact….she didn’t have to try….she didn’t have to go out of her way to bring out the demons…..

By just being herself….by simply moving as she slightly tilted her head and gazed at you with that sweet fucking smile of joy in seeing you again…..you watched as the fate of wonder and magic occurred when a piece of her front hair became stuck on her face, the ends edged into the very outer corner of her mouth from when she sipped on her drink……she looked so carefree….so alluring…..beautiful…..just everything a man could wish for in a woman…..

You couldn’t contain yourself. There was an urge within you to find any reason whatsoever to touch her, even though she looked so beautiful with that piece of hair delicately draping across her cheek…..you wanted to touch both it and her skin.

The sense of desire within you caught your breath….you couldn’t respond to her…..not right away at least. With a faint gulp, one that she did not notice, you reached up and gently caressed her soft skin as your thumb moved the strands away….it felt like silk while her skin felt like soft chiffon……you even took it a step further by tucking the strands around another longer piece of hair that framed her face, to keep it in place. She didn’t seem to mind….or maybe, she was too shocked or star-stunned to say anything….because her eyes looked at you with a sense of wideness and curiosity that you just wanted to break and cradle at the same time. That was the moment when you knew….

‘…..That’s it…..I can’t anymore…..y/n……you’re mine. You belong to me…..its all your fault……you’re going to figure that out later on. For now, let’s make it happen baby….’

It took everything within you to refrain from displaying the eerie smile you felt creeping along the corner’s of your mouth as you suppressed the urge to plaster it before her. Because at that moment, you began planning….you began to create ideas and methods to take her away….to keep her and make her yours.

‘…First….we’ll get rid of boyfriend…..he’s no good anyhow. Second, get you ready to come far away with me……we’ll get you to do all your classes online…maybe even enroll you to a different school…..you’ll come with me…..I’ll start building you a house….I’ll make it beautiful but also….barricaded….its going to take some time for you to get used to the new surroundings….but in the meantime…we’ll make sure your pretty little self doesn’t escape through any window or door….no house already established is going to do….I’ll start from scratch and have one built….just for you…..it will be pretty…..it will have everything you need….everything you want…..along with everything I want…which is simply you of course.’

All throughout the night, you developed more into your plans and began to focus on how and when you should act. You started to research and find Samuel’s social media accounts, meticulously gaining the details surrounding his location, school, and his friends….you knew from the way he had been delaying in his communication with her that he was up to no good….one man to another, it wasn’t hard to see the signs of infidelity, yet you didn’t mind, it made your job easier, for now all you had to do was expose him…and with your connections and corrupt nature you were now developing, that wasn’t going to be hard to do at all.

‘Lets see…….who do I know that goes to the same university as good ol’ boy Sammy? Hmm?’

“Hey Heeseung!”

You turned around and saw Jake approaching you from behind. Jake, along with six other members of your inner circle were the only ones you could tolerate and build a bond with since you all grew up together, especially Jake. He was more like a brother than anything else, while the others you considered as family similar to that of cousins. With Jay, Sunghoon, and Sunoo going to an out of state college, Niki and Jungwon still finishing high school, it was a rare but joyful occurrence to see them. At least you got to see Jungwon from time to time since he was participating in the Ace program that allowed him to complete his high school requirements while attending a few college courses at the university you attended.

Watching as your best friend walks up, behind him he had trailing a young woman, she was small and dainty in appearance, dressed in Lolita sense of fashion, yet it was altered to reflect a more matured level in its appearance as displayed by the exposure of skin and cleavage. Hopefully this one was good and not at all like all Jake’s previous girlfriends…

………

“Ethan….dont tell Jake but….I really want to fuck you….you’re so hot.”

“I hear you fuck girls left and right…..do you want to try me? I wont tell Jake.”

“Ethan….please…please don’t tell Jake….but I think I might have a crush on you……what should we do about it?”

……..

Nothing…..do absolutely nothing about it.

‘Fucking whores.’

You couldn’t count how many girls, whether they were dating your friends or not, would come around, expressing their hard lust and desire for you. It was as if a new girl would come around each day, running after you to express their fondness.

If they were single, you may or may not have dabbled in and got yourself some relief from the frustrations of dealing with Vicky’s infidelity, or the others before her. But for the ones that were attempting to meddle with the trust and sanctity of your friendship with Jake…..your cruelty in exposing them knew of no boundaries or limitations.

………

“Fuck off. I don’t know what you’ve heard, but I have a distaste for backstabbers like you.”

“B-but…can we just-“

“I said FUCK OFF….I mean it…..or do I need to SHOW you that I mean it?”

………..

Each one of them would formulate a look of fear as they ran off. Of course, you would expose the truth to Jake, and watch as he would ditch one girl like the last, only to find a new one to fall in love all over again….

You used to wonder…why Jake was so eager to find love….why he was so eager to the point that he was gathering girls by the numbers that outreached the digits you collected yourself. With Vicky being number seven, Jake was sure to be on number fifteen…or maybe it was even higher. You lost count. Either way, it didn’t matter anymore….probably because you now understand what he was looking for….yet he still hadn’t seem to find it….not that you knew of…but you sure as Hell did….

‘Y/n…..’

“Heeseung, this is my girlfriend I told you about, H/N.”

You looked down at the tiny girl, remarking the look of fear she had plastered all over her face. It was something you were used to, and just like all the other times, you stood there, crossing your arms as you impatiently waited for the girl to greet you. Yet she remained hidden behind Jake’s body.

Turning your gaze from the girl over to Jake, you watched as your best friend nervously chuckled and turned to reassure the girl that you weren’t as scary as you had appeared to be.

How strange…for even Vicky and all of your other girlfriends in the past, had all developed a similar sense of fear when initially meeting you. All of them……except one…..y/n….

“Oh my God! Oh my God! I know who you are! You’re the pretty girl that everyone talks about, we have the same anthropology class and I never was able to say ‘hi’ because I was always too shy but-…….whoa……you’re even…..super pretty up close……like…..really….pretty….”

Watching as Jake’s girlfriend swoons and gawks over y/n….your y/n….. you rested your back against the counter as your crossed arms tightened into the fabric of your blazer. You shift your face to look at the floor as your cap covered every detail of your face, taking advantage, you released that smile that you refrained from displaying earlier. You saw a glimpse of it from the corner of your eye, how Y/n took notice of your mannerism, which had only made you smile even wider as you let out your deep chuckle, furthering the downward tilt of your chin so she couldn’t see much more than she had already witnessed…..

HER PERSPECTIVE – MGR, Chapter 8.

Ethan leaned back slightly to rest against the counter behind him, crossing his arms and tucking in his chin. Despite how the angle of his hat covered his entire face when he dipped it down, you saw a tiny glimpse in the showing of teeth as he gave out a small chuckle. He nodded his head, looking as if he felt Emily’s reaction was warranted, before bringing his head back upright, licking his lips and peering his gaze off to the side. You hear the girls calling to you, bidding you to come over to them. You excused yourself and gave a friendly so-long gesture to the boys as you walked over to the group.

Watching her migrating over to the group of girls, those of Vicky’s posse, you sighed out as you calmed yourself internally.

‘Soon…..soon pretty baby…’

Throughout the night, you zoned out and locked yourself up internally as you ran through every minute detail in your plans to get y/n. Yet the moment you caught the view of Gabe and his friend harassing her, you felt a rage of violent emotion take over like never before. It was no news to anyone of how protective you were with Vicky and your previous girlfriends, at least you were before finding out of their lewd behaviors behind your back. Still, no one could deny that you had a possessive streak, and depending on if they were worthy of it or not, it would come out. Yet when it came to y/n…. your beautiful girl….it was no question that the level of possessiveness you developed was that of fierce danger to anyone who made her feel or look uncomfortable.

There she stood, so pretty…so sensual…alluring…beautiful….sexy…just…everything you wanted and desired….and there he was with his hands touching her. You watched as she displayed hesitancy and backed away, trying to create distance without causing a scene, all because of Vicky’s connection with that idiot.

Y/n may be too gentle and concerned over her relationship with Vicky, and opting to do her best to avoid tension or add any strain between herself and your ex-girlfriend….but for you, you could give two fucks. It wouldn’t have mattered if you were still dating Vik, the moment you saw that boy put his filthy hands on y/n, who was clearly and obviously displaying discomfort, not at all wanting the physical contact, it was left without question.

Like clockwork, your body moved, and you found yourself strutting in a fierce manner, increasing speed, rage, intensity, and chaos as you felt the extension of your hand lunging forward in a snapping motion. The things you have learned from years of sports, dancing, anaerobic and aerobic exercise, you applied the teachings of your great mentor to utilize the same force that was merely gained for sportsmanship and dance, yet here you are using it against bone and flesh….and you loved every single second of it knowing that she was now safe.

But your joy fell apart quickly as you watched her, she was clearly overwhelmed by the harassment, and she took her leave.

‘Oh my poor baby….he really made you feel so uncomfortable….I promise that will never happen again…..I’m here….I’ll be here forever.’

She was fast in her departure, and you were hesitant in chasing after her as you were finding yourself reaching heightened levels of insanity for this girl throughout the night. After a few moments of basking in the house, with the lack of her presence, you found yourself moving again.

‘Fuck….did I go to far? Did I scare her? Or did she leave because of the discomfort of that idiot? What do I do? I need to be more careful if I’m going to make this all work…..do I start with my plans tonight? Will I have to be more forceful now? ’

You quickly exited the frat house, pulling out your keys as you looked around to see if you could catch sight of her. But a sense of sadness and emptiness hits you once you found that she was nowhere in sight.

Remaining stagnant, another twenty minutes or so went by before you started up your car and made your way back to your room, when the memorized image of Y/n’s face in discomfort flashed in your memory, and the need to console her was too pungent for you to ignore. So, you drove past your frat house, and made your way to the dorms, knowing full well she'd be there.

‘Fuck! I should have gone straight after her….’

Once you had parked your car, you were hesitant to move. Instead, you remained seated and continued to observe the lot, occasionally looking up to the upper end of the building, observing the window to her room. It remained dark, with no sign of life. You contemplated on whether she even came back to her room or not, but a feeling deep inside your brain told you that she was in there. Taking one last glance at her window, you took your keys and got out of the car.

Entering the dorm was the most depressing feeling you’ve felt in your life, as you walked over towards Vicky’s side of the room just to observe from afar, studying the side belonging to the one that you wanted to be with.

The light coming from her phone casted a cone of brightness that blocked the view of her face, you walked over and took in a hazy view of her, appearing to be asleep.

Initially, you picked up the phone to shut off the screen, when the face of it snagged your attention as the verbiage of an email outlined the end of the one thing she had solely been keeping alive. Even though you had a gut feeling based on his inactivity, it still was shocking that he was willing to let go of something otherworldly such as her…..and yet….you were happy….

‘This is…..’

Realizing that she was in pain that you could only imagine, the prospect of viewing her as someone who is free for your pursuance did not come into mind, not at all. Instead, you took a moment and looked down at her lying form as her phone remained in your hand.

The shape of her body was transcendental, the smooth and delicate curves from her hips, waistline, and her breasts contrasted from her surroundings. The crease of her cleavage cradled lightly by the natural rest of her arms as she lay on her side with a very faint curve of the fetal position. The length of her hair lay draped all around her enhanced her despair as you could assume by the placement, that she threw herself on the bed as she cried, evident by the wet streams that decorated her face. For the first time, you saw Y/n broken.

You read the contents of the email, not giving any second thought that it was a total invasion of her privacy, it didn’t matter. Now that she was in the state of abysmal pain, you intended to fix it, to fix her.

‘I…..she’s here….free for me to take now….that saves me a lot of trouble…..is fate on my side with this? Everything is just becoming too easy for me to get her…almost as if my thoughts are all being answered in my favor…..I don’t have to deal with Samuel…..i don’t have to do anything…..except just take her���..I can……take her….right now….’

Looking down at her, you kept her phone in your hand as you observed her form. You could tell she wanted to refrain from having all forms of communication, which was more than enough reason for her to lay with eyes shut, yet clearly not asleep.

Your eyes remained glued to her as the phone screen illuminates your face. With your sights remained gazing on her miraculous form, you shut off the phone and placed it back on the nightstand.

‘Let me fix you…. pretty thing….I’m here now…..we don’t have to go through the trouble of the initial plan…..all I have to worry about now….is fixing you….taking care of you….and loving you….so let me do it.’

And you did. It was something unreal but the most memorable event in your life.

It had seemed like it all had happened just yesterday...yet to your everlasting amazement, the events and occurrences that ultimately brought you to the state of happiness had happened nearly one full year ago.....one year since you met and fell in love with her....

It wasn’t up until recently, when you found out after looking through her phone that you saw the self-text she sent…..reflecting her love for you all along, since the moment she had met and bonded with you, before the events of the frat party.

‘We were truly meant to be together….she and I….’

Pondering and reflecting the flashbacks on memory lane, a ding from your phone interrupts the flow of your mind.

Checking on who texted you, you saw it was from Jake. He sent you a link to an article regarding the ‘Campus Killer’, it would so appear the authorities finally found him….dead beyond recognition.

“Breaking news! Serial rapist and murderer known as ‘Campus Killer’ remains found nearby central city.

Authorities were alerted of scattered remains, believed to be that of the serial killer that had preyed and murdered more than twenty female college students attending *your college name*. Police have stated that the body was horribly disfigured and mutilated and was scattered throughout various regions of the city. Authorities couldn’t immediately identify through plain sight on who the remains belonged to, yet it was thanks to dental records that they were able to clearly ascertain that the body parts belonged to that of the deceased, whose identity is none other than J. Dahmer, the man who had earned the notorious reputation of being the Campus Killer. Police are urging for everyone to remain alert and continue to remain inside the safety of their own homes as they exhaust all efforts into investigating into this matter and finding out just who, was responsible for the murder of the serial killer that plagued the city.”

……………

Another ding comes in, you smirked as you read Jake’s second message.

Reading Jake’s text, that same eerie smile made it’s re-appearance on your face. You felt it. For not only did you have y/n here, safe and sound, but you managed to get rid of that nuisance of a man that had crossed the line.

Could anyone blame you for taking her away? After the series of harmful events that took place against her…..what would have happened had you not been there each time? What if you hadn’t been there the night at the movie theater, when that man had his sights set on her…as his next target…his next victim. She didn’t even notice until you both took your seats in front of the wide screen, she was far too oblivious with her surroundings…too careless. It didn’t make you feel comfortable enough to just have her in emotionally and mentally, you needed to have her by your side…permanently.

Initially, you merely took notice of his presence, but the moment you recalled of the reporting’s concerning a drifting serial killer… one that had constantly dawned a brown, camping jacket and was constantly seen lingering around the surrounding area, preying on young female college students, you knew….you had a feeling the moment you helped y/n get out of the car and walked across the parking lot….that it was him who was studying her from the side of the massive parking lot.

There was no way…..

The moment you saw that man trailing behind, following and eyeing her as you both entered the theater, there was no possible way you could ever let that go. That man…how dare he? How dare he even think about hurting her?  How dare he look at y/n…..and thought of doing such terrible and unspeakable things to her body…..how dare he even wonder how she would look and sound like at the brink of ultimate fear….while he tortures her…..and mutilates her body like he did with all his previous victims ….HOW DARE HE?

‘….Him?.....He has the audacity to look at the one and only thing that is meaningful to me….the only thing that is worth all of the high Heaven’s, right down to the lowest parts of the Earth….he had the nerve….to look at her….and yearned to take her away from me?....I knew what he was thinking….I knew the images that was going through his mind when he saw her……and it’s bringing out the worst in me……he wanted to hurt her….make her scream….tear her flesh…cut her bones…..and take her last breath….all for the sake of his sick and twisted pleasure of seeing how she would react while he cuts her up and use whatever tools of torture to stain her blood with…..I refuse to let him…or anyone else get away with even just the thought of hurting her…. someone like him…with what he was planning on doing…does not deserve to live….or to dream of her…’

So, you made sure of it…. leaving not even a single bit of evidence behind…and paying off a multitude of authorities using a middle man, all of which would allow you to remain untraceable and to prevail while that man you murdered remains left behind; all leads falling to an unsolved case, which will be forever hidden and forgotten about. After all…..whose going to care about a dead serial killer?.....Despite the fact that it required the mind of a killer to eradicate another, as far as you and the world were concerned, you were a hero.

But not to her…..

Not knowing of the troubles that had surrounded her…..of what you did for her out of love, she only sees the flaws of your extreme nature…..your nature of wanting to keep her safe and forever well.

HER PERSPECTIVE -

Five months ago....

“W-what is it? Why are you…..Ethan?”

“Heheheheheh…..wrong name….y/n.”

‘……What?.....What does he mean?.......his face….he’s….he’s Ethan but…..but how?...Why?....I don’t……I don’t understand……what’s happening?....Why is he leaning in….why is he smiling at me like that if he’s not…..if he’s not Ethan….then….who is he?”

“….I ….I don’t understand…” you forced a soft smile…yet it reeked of fear and confusion as you gazed directly into his eyes with your glistening and saddened ones. “……W-what do you mean?......Ethan?.......if you’re not….but you look….you are him….your face… you are Ethan….aren’t you?” your voice piques with the utmost sincerity and hope as you desperately wished for him to nod and reassure you that he was Ethan, that maybe he was trying to play a harmless prank on you.

Yet, to your deepest fear, you watched as he displayed a closed mouth smirk and gently shook his head while his eyes displayed that usual sadistic glare…..his Ethan glare…

“….if you’re not Ethan….then…..who are you?....please tell me that….you are him…..you’re scaring me…. I feel like when you say that you’re not…why do I feel like I don’t know you?” you felt the tears beginning to build up in your eyes as you expressed hopeful mercy in the tone of your voice.

Leaning in, he kisses you deeply…..passionately…..it was both soft and rough…it was both Heeseung and Ethan….

With that insane eerie countenance you were so used to seeing…..that demeaning force in his aura, and that same look of malice and eerie display of affection that was none other than what you had known to be as Ethan, he softly speaks against your lips. His words caused your heart to skip a beat as the state of your nearly to full nude body remains plastered against his broad frame by his hold on you. With a tightened embrace, he smirks mischievously as he chuckles out….

“You know me……you do……don’t be scared….it’s me….it’s Heeeeeeeeeseuuuuuuung….pretty baby.”

................

"Y/n......."

"...That voice....Eden? Is that you? Whats going on? I'm so confused...and scared....what's happening? What is Ethan talking about?....He's Heeseung?.....what...then who is Ethan? Who was he all this time?"

"Y/n......"

"Yes?"

"..........run."

Looking for Painless Eye Surgery? Smile Pro Offers Bladeless Precision

In the ever-evolving world of eye care, technological innovations have made vision correction procedures more precise, safer, and virtually painless. Among these innovations, SMILE Pro Eye Surgery stands out as a cutting-edge solution for individuals seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses. For those in Pakistan, particularly in Lahore, the name synonymous with advanced, reliable, and compassionate eye care is Amanat Eye Hospital widely recognized as the #1 Eye Hospital in Lahore.

What is SMILE Pro Eye Surgery?

SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the most advanced form of laser eye surgery currently available. Unlike traditional LASIK, which involves creating a flap in the cornea, SMILE Pro is a bladeless, minimally invasive technique that reshapes the cornea through a single, small incision — making it more comfortable, safer, and often more effective for eligible candidates.

Why Choose SMILE Pro Over LASIK?

Although both LASIK and SMILE Pro are effective refractive surgeries for correcting nearsightedness (myopia), SMILE Pro comes with several advantages:

Minimally Invasive: The small incision (about 2–4 mm) used in SMILE Pro results in faster healing and less disruption to the corneal nerves.

No Flap Needed: Unlike LASIK, SMILE Pro doesn't involve creating a corneal flap, reducing the risk of flap-related complications.

Enhanced Comfort: Patients report less post-surgery discomfort compared to older procedures.

Greater Corneal Stability: Because the outer corneal layers are largely preserved, the structural integrity of the cornea remains stronger.

Fewer Dry Eye Issues: SMILE Pro significantly reduces the risk of postoperative dry eyes, a common side effect with LASIK.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for SMILE Pro?

Not everyone may be suitable for SMILE Pro eye surgery. However, the following individuals generally qualify:

Adults aged 18 and older with a stable prescription for at least one year

Patients with mild to moderate myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism

Individuals with adequate corneal thickness

Those who wish to avoid the risks associated with LASIK flaps

During your initial assessment at Amanat Eye Hospital, one of the expert ophthalmologists will evaluate your condition using advanced Ophthalmic Diagnostics to determine your eligibility.

The SMILE Pro Procedure: What to Expect

At Amanat Eye Hospital, the SMILE Pro procedure is a quick, painless outpatient experience.

Step-by-step Overview:

Preparation: Local anesthetic drops are applied to numb the eye.

Laser Application: A femtosecond laser creates a small lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea.

Tissue Removal: The lenticule is extracted through a tiny incision, reshaping the cornea and correcting the refractive error.

Post-Procedure: No stitches are required, and patients are typically discharged within an hour.

The total duration of the procedure is less than 20 minutes for both eyes.

Recovery and Results

One of the greatest benefits of SMILE Pro is its quick recovery time. Most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision within 24–48 hours. Here's what to expect post-surgery:

Minimal Discomfort: Mild irritation or a sensation of something in the eye may occur for a few hours.

Quick Visual Clarity: Vision begins to stabilize in a few days.

Full Recovery: Within 1–2 weeks, most patients achieve full visual recovery.

Permanent Results: The refractive correction is permanent unless natural age-related changes occur later.

Patients are advised to avoid rubbing their eyes and participating in strenuous activities for a few days post-surgery.

Is LASIK Eye Surgery Safe? What You Should Know Before Choosing Laser Vision Correction

For those who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK eye surgery offers a modern alternative to glasses and contact lenses. It’s quick, virtually painless, and often life-changing — but before scheduling the procedure, many people ask one important question: Is LASIK truly safe?

In this guide, we’ll cover how LASIK works, its safety record, possible side effects, and who makes a good candidate for the procedure.

A Quick Overview: What Is LASIK?

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It’s a form of refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina — ultimately leading to clearer vision.

It is most commonly used to treat:

Myopia (nearsightedness)

Hyperopia (farsightedness)

Astigmatism

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, usually takes less than 30 minutes, and requires minimal recovery time. Most people return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

What Does the Data Say About LASIK Safety?

LASIK is one of the most researched and refined eye procedures available today. Thanks to decades of technological advancements and improved screening techniques, it has become one of the safest elective surgeries performed worldwide.

According to large-scale clinical studies:

Over 95% of patients achieve 20/25 vision or better

Complication rates are extremely low (less than 1%)

Long-term satisfaction is consistently above 90%

The key to safety lies in choosing a reputable provider and ensuring proper preoperative testing to confirm that you’re an appropriate candidate.

Are There Risks or Side Effects?

While LASIK is generally safe, there are potential side effects — most of which are temporary and manageable:

Dry eye symptoms

Halos or glare in low-light conditions

Mild discomfort during healing

Temporary fluctuations in vision

These issues typically resolve within a few weeks. In rare cases, an additional LASIK enhancement may be needed to further refine the outcome.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK. You may qualify if:

You are at least 18 years old

Your vision prescription has been stable for at least one year

Your eyes are healthy and free of conditions like keratoconus

Your corneas are thick enough to safely reshape

A full consultation with an eye surgeon is essential to determine if LASIK is safe and effective for your specific vision profile.

Final Thoughts

For the right candidates, LASIK offers a proven path to improved vision and reduced dependence on corrective lenses. Its safety track record, paired with modern diagnostic tools and surgical precision, make it a trusted option for millions of people worldwide. The best next step? Schedule a personalized evaluation to understand your options and receive expert guidance.

The Evolution of LASIK: A Quick Look Back

Before we explore the latest trends, it’s worth appreciating how far LASIK has come. Originally introduced in the 1990s, LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) reshaped the cornea to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Early procedures were groundbreaking but came with limitations — longer recovery times, greater risks of side effects, and less customized treatment.

Today, LASIK has evolved dramatically. Newer techniques and technologies have made the procedure faster, safer, and almost tailor-made for each patient’s unique eyes.

What's New in LASIK Technology?

1. Bladeless LASIK (Femto LASIK)

Gone are the days when a surgical blade was needed to create the corneal flap. With bladeless or Femto LASIK, surgeons use a femtosecond laser for this critical step. This makes the surgery incredibly precise and significantly reduces the chances of complications. According to the best eye surgeons in Delhi, bladeless LASIK has set a new gold standard in patient safety and comfort.

Pro Tip: If you're consulting an eye LASIK surgeon in Delhi, always ask if they offer Femto LASIK for a smoother experience.

2. Contoura Vision LASIK

Often referred to as the most advanced form of LASIK available today, Contoura Vision personalizes the procedure by mapping 22,000 unique points on the cornea. This highly detailed map allows surgeons to address not just your prescription numbers, but also subtle imperfections on the eye’s surface that glasses or contacts can’t fix.

Leading eye specialist doctors in Delhi report that patients who undergo Contoura Vision LASIK often achieve better than 6/6 vision, meaning their eyesight becomes sharper than what’s considered normal.

3. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)

If you're nervous about LASIK or were previously told you aren’t a good candidate, SMILE might be your answer. SMILE is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a tiny incision, without creating a full corneal flap.

Top eye specialist doctor in Delhi increasingly recommending SMILE to patients with thin corneas or those involved in active lifestyles like sports, where flap-related injuries could occur post-LASIK.

4. Wavefront-Guided LASIK

Think of this as the 'fingerprint' approach to correcting vision. Wavefront technology captures the way light travels through your eye to create a completely customized correction plan. This greatly enhances night vision and reduces side effects like halos and glare, which were more common with older LASIK techniques.

Many best eye surgeons in Delhi highlight Wavefront-guided LASIK as ideal for those who want "high-definition" vision, especially if your job demands excellent eyesight, like pilots or graphic designers.

What Top Eye Surgeon Are Saying

We spoke with several reputed eye specialist doctors in Delhi, and the consensus is clear: Modern LASIK is safer, smarter, and more successful than ever before.

Higher Safety: Advanced screening methods ensure only the right candidates undergo the surgery, minimizing risks.

Minimal Downtime: Many patients are back to work and daily activities within 24 to 48 hours!

Better Results: Patients not only achieve 6/6 vision but often report even sharper vision quality compared to before needing glasses.

The best eye surgeon in Delhi also emphasize the importance of choosing the right surgeon and clinic — because no matter how advanced the technology, the expertise behind the laser makes all the difference.

Choosing the Right Eye LASIK Surgeon

If you’re ready to take the leap toward a glasses-free life, your first step should be finding the right best eye surgeon in Delhi. Look for:

A surgeon with significant experience and certifications

Clinics offering the latest technologies like Contoura Vision and SMILE

Transparent consultations where risks and benefits are clearly explained

Positive patient reviews and success stories

Don't rush this decision. Remember, this is your vision we’re talking about!

Final Thoughts

LASIK technology has truly transformed in the last decade, making it one of the safest and most rewarding procedures available today. If you're tired of being dependent on glasses or contacts, a qualified eye LASIK surgeon in Delhi can help you experience life with new clarity.

With innovations like bladeless LASIK, Contoura Vision, SMILE, and Wavefront-guided treatments, there has never been a better time to explore your options.

Innovations in Ophthalmic Surgery: Techniques and Outcomes

Ophthalmic surgery has witnessed extraordinary progress over the past two decades, driven by technological advancements, minimally invasive techniques, and a deeper understanding of ocular anatomy and pathology. From precision laser tools to robotic-assisted interventions, the field has transformed how surgeons restore and preserve vision. This article explores the most significant innovations in ophthalmic surgery, focusing on techniques that have reshaped outcomes for patients worldwide.

The Rise of Minimally Invasive Techniques

One of the most notable shifts in ophthalmic surgery is the move toward minimally invasive procedures. Traditional surgical methods often required longer recovery times and came with higher risks of complications. Today, tools like microincision instruments and high-speed vitrectomy systems allow surgeons to perform delicate operations with exceptional accuracy, reducing trauma to ocular tissues.

These techniques have revolutionized procedures such as cataract extraction, glaucoma filtration surgery, and retinal repairs. The result? Faster healing, fewer complications, and improved patient satisfaction.

Laser Eye Surgery: A Cornerstone of Modern Vision Correction

Perhaps no innovation has had a greater public impact than laser eye surgery. It has become the go-to procedure for millions of individuals seeking freedom from glasses and contact lenses. Initially developed in the 1990s, the technology has matured into an extremely reliable and safe form of refractive correction.

The science behind laser eye surgery lies in the reshaping of the cornea to alter how light is focused onto the retina. Using tools such as femtosecond and excimer lasers, surgeons can customize each treatment to the patient’s unique eye structure. Advanced techniques, such as wavefront-guided LASIK and SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), have raised the standard for precision and visual outcomes.

Patients can often achieve 20/20 vision or better, with minimal discomfort and downtime. The effectiveness of these procedures continues to improve, making them one of the most sought-after elective surgeries worldwide.

Retinal Surgery and Imaging Technology

Innovations in the treatment of retinal diseases have been nothing short of transformative. Conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment used to be difficult to manage. Today, new surgical methods, coupled with high-definition imaging systems, allow for targeted interventions.

Intraoperative OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), for example, provides real-time imaging during surgery. This helps surgeons make precise adjustments and monitor delicate retinal tissues as they operate. Additionally, the introduction of smaller-gauge vitrectomy systems and enhanced visualization tools has made complex retinal surgeries more efficient and less invasive.

These advancements are especially critical in regions where retinal diseases are on the rise due to aging populations and increased rates of diabetes.

Corneal Transplants and Regenerative Techniques

While laser eye surgery focuses on reshaping the cornea, another exciting area is regenerative treatment through corneal transplants. Traditional full-thickness transplants are now being replaced by partial or lamellar transplants that preserve healthy corneal tissue and reduce rejection risks.

Furthermore, stem cell research and tissue engineering hold immense promise. Scientists are working toward developing lab-grown corneal tissue, which could eventually eliminate the need for donor corneas altogether. These advancements are still in the experimental phase but represent the future of personalized, regenerative ophthalmic care.

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Ophthalmology

AI-driven diagnostics and robotic-assisted surgeries are emerging as powerful tools in ophthalmic care. Algorithms trained on large datasets can now detect diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and even certain cancers from retinal scans with remarkable accuracy.

In the surgical theater, robotic systems are being developed to assist with ultra-precise movements—critical for microsurgical procedures involving the retina or optic nerve. While these technologies are still gaining regulatory approval, early results show they can enhance outcomes by improving consistency and reducing surgeon fatigue.

The Role of Specialized Centers

The success of advanced ophthalmic procedures also depends on where they are performed. Access to state-of-the-art equipment, skilled surgeons, and post-operative care significantly influences outcomes. In Pakistan, for instance, the best eye hospital in Lahore has emerged as a leader in offering cutting-edge ophthalmic surgery, including advanced retinal care, cataract solutions, and laser eye surgery.

These institutions are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and surgical suites, staffed by highly trained specialists who keep pace with global standards. Patients not only benefit from world-class treatment but also gain access to ongoing care and monitoring, which is essential for long-term eye health.

Patient Outcomes and the Future

Outcomes in ophthalmic surgery have never been better. Thanks to these innovations, millions of patients around the world enjoy improved or fully restored vision. The focus has shifted from simply saving sight to enhancing quality of life through sharper, more comfortable vision.

Looking forward, continued collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and tech companies will drive even more breakthroughs. As gene therapy, AI integration, and bioengineered tissues enter the mainstream, the possibilities for eye care are virtually limitless.

Conclusion

Ophthalmic surgery is no longer just about treating eye diseases—it’s about delivering life-changing vision through precision, innovation, and care. From laser eye surgery to the latest advancements in retinal and corneal treatments, the field continues to redefine what’s possible in modern medicine. And with institutions like the best eye hospital in Lahore leading the charge in South Asia, the future of eye care looks clearer than ever.

Restoring Vision: A Comprehensive Guide to Glaucoma Surgery in Mumbai

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma progresses slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, with timely intervention and advanced treatments like glaucoma surgery, vision loss can be prevented. For those seeking expert care, Krishna Eye Centre in Mumbai stands out as a trusted destination for glaucoma surgery and comprehensive eye care. 

In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about glaucoma surgery in Mumbai, the importance of early detection, and why Krishna Eye Centre is a leading choice for patients seeking an experienced eye specialist in Mumbai. 

Understanding Glaucoma: The Silent Threat to Vision

Glaucoma occurs when the optic nerve, responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain, becomes damaged due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). This pressure buildup is often caused by fluid accumulation in the eye. If untreated, glaucoma can lead to peripheral vision loss and, eventually, complete blindness. 

There are several types of glaucoma, including: 

Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, characterized by a gradual increase in eye pressure. 

Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A sudden and severe increase in eye pressure, requiring immediate medical attention. 

Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs despite normal eye pressure.

While medications and laser treatments can manage glaucoma in its early stages, surgery is often recommended for advanced cases or when other treatments fail to control IOP. 

When is Glaucoma Surgery Necessary?

Glaucoma surgery becomes essential when: 

Medications and laser treatments are ineffective in controlling IOP.

The patient cannot tolerate or adhere to prescribed eye drops.

The condition is rapidly progressing, posing a significant risk to vision.

At Krishna Eye Centre, our team of highly skilled ophthalmologists evaluates each patient’s condition to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Whether it’s traditional surgery or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), we prioritize patient safety and optimal outcomes. 

Types of Glaucoma Surgery Offered at Krishna Eye Centre

Trabeculectomy: - A traditional surgical procedure where a small flap is created in the sclera (white part of the eye) to allow excess fluid to drain, reducing IOP. 

Glaucoma Drainage Implants: - Tiny devices are implanted to facilitate fluid drainage and regulate eye pressure. 

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): - Advanced techniques that use microscopic-sized equipment to reduce IOP with minimal trauma and faster recovery times. 

Laser Surgery: - Procedures like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) or Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) are used to improve fluid drainage and lower eye pressure. 

At Krishna Eye Centre, we utilize state-of-the-art technology and personalized care to ensure the best possible results for our patients.

Recovery after glaucoma surgery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Most patients experience improved vision and reduced eye pressure within a few weeks. At Krishna Eye Centre, we provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure a smooth recovery. 

Preventing Glaucoma: Early Detection is Key

While glaucoma cannot be prevented, early detection and treatment can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss. Regular eye exams, especially for individuals over 40 or those with a family history of glaucoma, are crucial. At Krishna Eye Centre, we recommend annual comprehensive eye exams to detect glaucoma and other eye conditions in their earliest stages.

COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLE OF WHAT HEXTECH IS/HOW IT'S USED AND HOW IT DIFFERS FROM CYBORG ENHANCEMENTS? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Hi anon!

I'd like to preface this by saying that the idea of Hextech is a concept we borrowed from a Netflix series called Arcane(watching it is not necessary to join Ignited btw!). In the show, Hextech is a form of technology powered by arcane crystals, which are also a source of magic.

What's mentioned above applies to New Jakarta as well, Braax crystals are the source of Sighir, the magic system that we have in game. The difference here is that being able to use Sighir is an innate ability that cannot be taught. So, the crystals that fuel Hextech allow people who were not born being able to use Sighir to utilize it's power, to an extent.

So, the difference between Hextech and cybernetic enhancements in this context is that cybernetics are fueled by electricity, like technology in real life! Hextech does not use this and furthermore, is not compatible with cybernetic enhancements or androids. Combining the two has been attempted, but has resulted in the technology becoming obsolete.

Here's some examples for practical uses of Hextech:

In healthcare, machines have been designed to perform simple surgeries, such as biopsies, c-sections, skin grafts, and vision correction(like lasik). There's also one that detects Sighir in individuals by performing a full body scan, using electromagnetic waves to detect the presence of magic in the body. Both machines are powered by Braax crystals.

In construction, several tools including motorized drills and saws use Braax crystals as the energy source. Utilizing the alternative energy allows for more lightweight tools, as without electricity there's no need for wires or metal parts for them to function. This reduces strain on the workers and has led to a smaller amount of injuries in the construction field.

Hope this helps!

Admin Moth.

- I’m pretty indecisive w/these things, but a complaint that comes to mind is fog, like eye foggers composing an entire lens of their own. Now I’m getting a taste of the brightness of my lights.-

- In saying more, ur personalities & interests aside, b/c im indecisive, I’d screw thisUp w/more input. Whatever wouldB natural, post-LASIK with hydrated eyes, would be best.I have 20/22 vision. So if I need “supplements” of sorts w/waves & due2increased load2MyHead,appreciated.-

- I want the drive to do things, motivation/interest for what I set my focus on, focus, will power, and a healthy amount of calm. All subtle things that shouldn’t be hard.-

- I need a job for money, to keep me busy, or I need some source of income for gettting out of house to eat at least or maybe watch a movie, or for snacks while I watch streaming apps.-

- I need money to repay my loan, and if I could ask for what’s not a need, I want a pair of Apple visions and a new desk and bed furniture, so I have walking space in my room and for an LA Fitness and Peloton membership.-

- If I can’t get a job, despite 2 degrees, or a masters degree, I need mindset 2 watch reruns in quiet, W/o this guy talking 2 me. -

- I’d like to be able to use the bathroom in the morning and I’d like to be able to cozy to sleep at night, in the way I nod off to sleep during the day, where I have, comfortably. Every Night, in contrast, I’m in mental pain after meds, in moments b4 falling asleep.-

- These things would make what remains of the phenomena bearable.

Eyes/vision needs a “lens up” like when eye doctor asks better here or better there. -

- 1 more request on eyes:Undo LASIK, or negatives of LASIK like lack of corneal thickness, lack of sun protection, or dry eyes, or halos/starbursts. @ least “this much” w/ eyes as I remember it in last 10 min, when some1 decided 2screw w/eyes again, & madeItBetter4BriefInstant.

- when I was on Lexapro & Vyvanse, when I look at a piece of paper or try 2 read a text book, my eyes read in manner of processing/digesting each individual word on the paper, one word at a time, one line- left to right- at a time. I want that, as I’m struggling w/it right now.-

- I would explore the whole gamut of ADD symptoms. An EX. of ADD symptom: When I don’t want to do something, be it submitting/scanning a form or getting out of bed in the morning, I’d visualize it or think about it to get ignition going & engine going “to carry out the action.”

- there’s also a sensation of sedation being slapped onto or into the crown of my head and into my brain. It periodically creeps up during meds and mostly when I’m trying to sleep at night. If that pain could be removed, appreciated…

-next thing: little nuances take away from my focus. Part of reason I want new bedroom furniture is b/c I want space, while auditory voices might’ve said something about claustrophobia. open space of kitchen eating area make annoying phone calls easy.Another ADD personality symptom.-

- I want 2B able plan something @ will/do things at will, whether it be going to bed, going 2bathroom, starting a project, workingOut, or just working. when I set my mind to something, it should be done. I shouldB able 2functionInAnyEnvironment, however hot/cold/spacious/cramped.

- next thing I notice or am reminded of, the octave of my voice keeps changing. It’s like the firmness to my lip. There is an inconsistency. My voice as I remember it before meds and mind reading was deeper. I feel I’m made to sound passive, with excessive pleases and thank u’s.

- when I walk, I want each movement to count, now it seems like I’m flailing in the wind, or I’m stomping like an angry kid. At this point, something is just f*ing with me, as ur warping natural things…but, as guidance, explore gamut of ADD personalities and flaws…

- voice needs 2B deeper, like when I used 2 do Church readings, moves from walking 2 button pushes shouldB w/ confidence/precision, posture shouldB back straight/chest up/no swagger,-

- this turning off of signal to face and brain to make me immobile unthinking vegetable has to stop. I clearly need my brain waves.

- in school, my classmates would play games on their laptops while the teachers taught classes. While my classmates went about their business, “just by being in the room,” they were able to digest what they teacher said though they were playing games. I want that.-

- I want eidetic memory/photographic memory, but for immediate purposes, I want strong “working memory.” I’m hearing, for the most part, what’s on the news. But I cannot think back to two sentences prior of what I heard.-

- I may get a gist of what’s said on the news, but as child, before mind reading/mind control, I could recite back a book I read with excruciating detail. When I’d read, I’d see a movie in my head.-

- When I studied in high school, I used rote learning, and at years end, I could recite my whole notebook back. On Vyvanse, I could visualize and multiply three digit numbers by three digit numbers. I want that back and enhanced.

- & an observation worth noting, when I drink coffee, nothing happens. Ive heard of people pulling a night shift after 1 good cup of coffee. Now something worse happens,I feel sleepy after a cup of coffee. I thought mayB my adrenals/ glands R drained-But,probably situation/life.-

-On meds, any form of stimulation, any “tentacle reaching” of the “beta-wave induced-projected-frontal-cortex” of the remote viewer, makes me feel sleepy. Then combine it with lack of sleep and meds, more unpleasantness.

- fly away eyes/fly away words or reading; not sure what the term is. But when I try to skim a piece of text on paper, my eyes aren’t scanning 1 word at a time & 1 line at a time. If it were the latter, & it should be, everything should digest 1 word at a time, 1 line at a time.-

- and when whatever decides to speak, it’d be nice if it was enlightening material like what exactly are, eye foggers/foggy things, that some people see?! What’s their purpose? Is it an ailment?

All race/ethnicity hasAdvantages. BlackPeople seem 2have EZier affinity2 muscles/noFlyawayFacialHair. WhitePeopleSeem2B tall/slender/fast metabolism. Asians haveGoodFlexibility. CertainEyeColors haveBetterSunProtection. Itd B nice2 haveBlendOfPositives

-theres no conveyer belt of thoughts in a factory line up. I don’t understand how U don’t see big picture. It’s probably from ur beta wave/focus mind from projecting ur frontal cortex 2 steer my whole brain. Ur interference inHead isCausingLackOf processingOfSenses/info;dangers.-

-Ive learned in yoga, that U do things 2relax &focus. It’s always marijuana or alcohol/cocaine, or legal Lexapro (antidepressant)/Vyvanse amphetamine stimulant) combo.-

-So while U go, full on, w/beta waves (just assuming) w/all my alpha wave sources & innately calm self, I’m not processing what I see/hear.-

-If u go too much alpha wave, then not enough focus/processing. Need the combo, I’m guessing as I’m not a scientist. Need some alpha and some beta waves.-

- And I think there’s a third wave: gamma waves. Don’t know what that does. Maybe there’s more. But that’s what I remember from school. There are thoughts, & when I wrote about gamma waves I had a memory or remembered gamma waves. You can’t say everything, it’s bad health.

- there are expressions: “avoid irritation” and “keep calm and carry on” … ur not keeping calm if ur constantly yammering in the head…see next tweet for a Buddhist monk story someone told me in high school:-

What is Laser Eye Treatment - Types of Laser Eye Treatment

What is Laser Eye Treatment?

The treatment with laser is popularly known as the laser eye surgery and includes, among others, the measures for correction of the myopic, the hyperopic or the astygmatic eyes. LASIK (Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) which uses a laser to shape the cornea for better visual acuity is its commonest kind. Among other methods, we have PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) or SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction). These procedures entail laser surgery with a view of making the cornea less rounded thereby reducing the need for glasses or contacts. Best Laser eye treatment in Palava at Anil Eye Hospital and transform your vision with advanced technology and professional care. . Laser eye treatment is a successful, fast healing and lasting visual benefit. It remains important to consult a specialist eye care provider in order to confirm suitability of this procedure. 

Types of Laser Eye Treatment 

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)

LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis)

EpiLASIK

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

One of the most sophisticated forms of modern refractive surgery is (laser-assisted in situ keratomileustrie)

referred to as LASIK. This entails making an incision on the cornea, lifting deeper tissues up, and reshaping the surface using excimer laser with the intention of improving the eye’s ability to focus correctly. The laser in action results in fast healing and a commendable level of success, leaving people free of the need for the glass or lenses. However, depending on some factors will determine if this surgery is eligible of otherwise and this makes it imperative to consult a health care practitioner first before considering this procedure.

Benefits Of LASIK Surgery?

Quick surgery with immediate results - You will regain your vision in the course of two weeks after the undergoing the 15-minute laser eye surgical LASIK procedure. Certainly, the waiting period is not necessary and even after a day of the surgery your vision gets better. However, full vision recovery lasts for fifteen days. However, during this period there’re minor limitations that you may experience such as no direct sunshine and do not swim.

You save money in the long run - Some people shy away from undergoing LASIK surgery because they argue that their cost entails major investment. Though, the real fact is that you tend to save lots of money over time. You avoid spending so much time, money, and effort in frames, lenses contacts, contact solution, and optomettist sessions you will require for the rest of your life by only paying for a one-time laser eye surgery.

LASIK surgery is pain-free - When people hear LASIK involves a laser, they assume that the surgery is painful. This is far from the truth. At most, you will feel a slight irritation in your eye during the surgery (Best eye specialist in Thane). In most cases, patients do not even require bandages or stitches and can get back to their normal life within 24 hours. 

Low risk, high satisfaction - The study in 2015 on subjective quality of vision and satisfaction following LASIK found that 98.5 % patients were either satisfied or very satisfied and the other 98.5% felt that their initial goals of the operation were fulfilled. This included 79% of those people who reported being able to drive at night with an easier time than before. The occurrence of complications is a rare case and the complications if they do occur, end up being insignificant but can have an easy resolution.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

A kind of laser surgery called Photorefractive Keratectomy is used for fixing vision through reshaping the cornea. It is not as straightforward or quick. Instead, the top layer of the cornea needs to be removed before using the laser to mold the underlaying tissues. PRK is used for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This procedure is renowned for its precision towards providing perfect vision, however, recuperation might be slow compared to LASIK.

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)

SMILE which stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction, is a new technique. It is blade free and uses one laser. SMILE uses a femtosecond laser to create a lens-shaped disc of tissue within the cornea. This disc of tissue is called a ‘lenticule’ because it is lenticular in shape, this is removable. The lenticule size and shape is adjusted to the refractive error of the patient. 

The laser eye surgeon removes the lenticule through a 4-5mm incision on the cornea.

The removal reshapes and flattens the cornea and therefore corrects vision. 

The visual recovery is slower than LASIK.

LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis)

LASEK which stands for Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis is a procedure similar to PRK. Like in PRK, the corneal epithelium is separated from the underlying stromal layer. But instead of completely removing and discarding this tissue, as in PRK, the ultra-thin "flap" of epithelium is pushed off to one side of the cornea (Eye care cornea centre in Thane), where it remains attached to the eye (like the thicker flap of corneal tissue created during LASIK surgery). 

EpiLASIK

Another PRK method version is called EPI-LASIK. The thin flap produced during LASEK surgery and the epi-lasik flap are extremely comparable. Only cells from the cornea's extremely thin epithelium—the outermost layer—are present in the flap in both surgeries. The process used to create the LASEK and epi-LASIK flaps differs. 

A sharp-bladed instrument is used to construct a LASEK flap. Using a device known as an epithelial separator, which has an oscillating plastic blade with a thin, blunt edge, the flap is separated from the stroma, the underlying corneal layer, during an epi-LASIK procedure. 

Additionally, unlike LASEK, epi-LASIK usually does not involve the application of an alcohol solution to the eye in order to release the epithelial cells from the underlying corneal stroma. 

The Epi-LASIK refractive surgery has been around since the early 2000s. People that would be most suitable for this type of surgery include those who have thin corneas, with insufficient tissue for LASIK. As with PRK the visual recovery is delayed and more discomfort is experienced during the recovery. In three days many patients do have 20:40 or even 20:20 but others take longer, possibly three or six months to reach their final result. Usually you can drive within a week after surgery. Epi-LASIK is not FDA approved.

I haven’t read Scott’s post yet but my own feelings on the social model of disability, from what I’ve heard of it, is that it’s compatible with the view that disability is essentially (even apart from any social hurdles) unfortunate.  It’s simply the view that disability is not a medical anomaly or a special tragedy, but a natural and inevitable part of the human condition.  We are all born disabled, as dependent infants, and most people will deal with disability in some form or another as they get older.

Also there are very commonplace disabilities like nearsightedness or joint pain.  Like, having bad vision and an achy hip (or allergies, or bruxism, etc.) is not some great tragedy.  There are readily available treatments for those things, even if they’re not perfect.  I can work around them and still have a full life.  But it would still be better to just not have them.  If I could flip a magic switch and fix my eyesight without any of the risks or potential complications of Lasik surgery, I would do it.

Granted, this becomes a bit more complicated when you’re dealing with mental stuff because a person’s sense of self is usually more closely tied to their subjective, day-to-day mental reality than to their body.  If you totally rewire someone’s brain in an attempt to address a mental disability, then I think there is an argument to be made that it’s comparable to surgically removing their brain and replacing it with someone else’s.  So you’ve essentially just euthanized the person and replaced them with a different person.  It’s possible to believe that this is a wrong thing to do while still believing that their life would be better if they’d been born with a different brain.

There’s also no easy way to say exactly where the line is, because our brains naturally change in small ways over the course of our lives.  Also we may voluntarily change our brains with mind-altering substances, and most of us don’t see this as comparable to having it totally replaced, because the change isn’t fundamental.  But I do think there is a line and that “curing,” say, autism or ADHD in an adult who has it could be seen as crossing that line.  Though that’s a separate ethical question from whether it should be allowable to, say, alter the DNA of a fertilized egg to make the odds of developing a particular neurotype less likely.

My situation of the Severely Limited Time/Energy For Tumblr continues. When Scott Alexander came out with an essay arguing against the Social Model of Disability, I managed to write a substantial comment and meant to follow that up with a Tumblr post but got my hands full with Other Stuff again before I was able to get around to the latter. I'd been hoping my comment might engender some kind of interesting discussion, but nobody responded, nor did it come up in Scott's more recent "highlights from the comments" post.

To put it bluntly, where I am at this point with regard to the social model of disability is that I see it as a sort of ideological nemesis -- obviously not in the sense that it's the my least favorite ideology out there, nowhere close, and I'll even concede that the more sophisticated thinking coming from it has very interesting and worthwhile ideas -- in the sense that it seems to be everywhere now among today's youth social movement and I see it seeping into everything, and I see it as fundamentally, profoundly misguided and (for the most part) at odds with common-sense reality. It seems in the last few years to have taken the number one spot among ideological trends that I'm worried about. (I think I first began to see it as a full-blown problem around the time I made these posts when Stephen Hawking died in 2018).

I couldn't remember ever seeing Scott Alexander tackle the social model of disability head-on (the closest very adjacent thing I can think of is that some years ago he came out very strongly against the prevalent ideas in autism activism about blurring the lines between different types of autism and taking offense at any desire for a cure), and I was immediately pleased to see that he takes such a critical stance. As I said in my comment, though, his discussion was very confined to the narrow world of scholarship and actual disability treatment (I don't fault Scott for this, since there's plenty of discussion to be had even in that narrower realm), whereas I see it as a much broader social phenomenon based on an axiom of "no trait is innately unfortunate" which is wide-reaching in how it affects how younger people are thinking about all kinds of social issues.

I was bemused that within half a week of the ACX post, Freddie de Boer published another one of his (excellent) posts which I interpret as attacking the mental health awareness movement wing of the social model of disability mindset:

who are unable to parse the idea that some things are inherent and also bad

Exactly, thank you, Freddie.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Eye Surgery

Eye surgery, especially for vision correction, has become a popular and highly effective option for people looking to improve their eyesight and reduce their reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Among the most commonly performed procedures is laser eye surgery — a modern solution offering quick results and minimal downtime. If you're considering glasses removal by laser, understanding the entire process from consultation to recovery is essential. Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure.

Before the Surgery: Evaluation and Preparation

Before undergoing laser eye surgery, you’ll first go through a detailed consultation and evaluation. This step is crucial to determine whether you're a good candidate for the procedure. Not everyone qualifies, so your ophthalmologist will examine several factors, including:

The shape and thickness of your cornea

Your refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism)

Eye pressure and tear production

Your overall eye health and any medical conditions affecting vision

A topography scan of your cornea will be done to map its surface, and wavefront technology may be used to assess optical imperfections. If you're wearing contact lenses, you'll typically be asked to stop using them for a week or more before your exam, as they can alter the shape of the cornea temporarily.

During your consultation, your surgeon will also walk you through the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of glasses removal by laser. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, discuss lifestyle factors, and clarify whether the procedure will meet your personal vision goals.

During the Surgery: A Quick and Painless Process

On the day of your laser eye surgery, you’ll be guided through a streamlined, outpatient procedure that typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes for both eyes. Here’s what happens during the process:

Numbing the Eye: Your eyes will be numbed using anesthetic drops to ensure you feel no pain. You’ll remain awake, but comfortable, throughout the procedure.

Positioning: You’ll lie down under the laser system. A device will keep your eyelids open to prevent blinking, and you’ll be asked to focus on a target light.

Creating the Flap (for LASIK procedures): A femtosecond laser is used to create a thin flap in the cornea. This flap is then gently lifted to expose the underlying tissue.

Reshaping the Cornea: The excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea with incredible precision. This step corrects the way light is focused onto your retina, allowing for clearer vision.

Closing the Flap: After the laser work is complete, the flap is repositioned. It adheres naturally without the need for stitches.

The entire laser portion of the surgery typically takes less than a minute per eye. Most people report feeling pressure, but no pain. If you’ve opted for another form of glasses removal by laser like PRK (which doesn't involve a flap), the approach will differ slightly, but the outcome is generally the same: improved vision.

After the Surgery: Recovery and Results

Once the procedure is complete, you’ll be sent home with post-op instructions. While recovery is relatively fast, the first few days are the most critical. Here’s what to expect:

Initial Hours: You may experience some burning, itching, or watering in the eyes. Blurred vision and light sensitivity are also common. It’s recommended to rest your eyes and avoid screen time during this period.

The First Week: Vision will continue to improve steadily. You'll likely have a follow-up appointment within 24–48 hours. It’s important to avoid rubbing your eyes and to use any prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and inflammation.

Returning to Normal Activities: Most people can return to work and drive within a couple of days, but strenuous activities, swimming, and makeup should be avoided for at least a week. Full healing may take several weeks to a few months, depending on the individual and the type of laser procedure performed.

Long-Term Results: The vast majority of patients who undergo laser eye surgery achieve 20/20 vision or better. While the results are long-lasting, some people may still need reading glasses later in life due to age-related vision changes (presbyopia), which aren’t addressed by standard refractive procedures.

Side Effects and Risks

Like all surgical procedures, laser eye surgery comes with potential risks and side effects, though serious complications are rare. Some temporary effects may include:

Dry eyes

Glare or halos at night

Fluctuating vision

Sensitivity to light

These symptoms typically resolve within a few weeks or months. In rare cases, enhancement procedures may be required if the initial correction isn’t sufficient.

Final Thoughts

Laser eye surgery offers a safe, effective, and life-changing opportunity for those seeking glasses removal by laser. Knowing what to expect before, during, and after the procedure helps reduce anxiety and sets realistic expectations. With modern advancements and experienced surgeons, the process is smoother and more reliable than ever.

If you're tired of the daily hassle of glasses or contacts and are curious about improving your vision, consult a qualified ophthalmologist to find out if you're a candidate. This decision could bring you one step closer to the freedom of clear, unaided vision.

Beach Days Part 1- Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x FemMitchellOC

Here is my second little thing for Top Gun. Lord help me I am probably only going to be writing about this man, but who knows. Anyways, as I said before, my stuff is typically written with a named OC as it is easier to keep track of when I right.

Rating: T+

Words: 2.1k

Warning: Some agnst, fluff, screaming, tears, overprotective fathers, little bit of an age gap (11 years).

Summary: As the daughter of Pete Mitchell and Penny Benjamin, Lily - nicknamed Sunshine by the pilots of Top Gun- had grown up with Bradley Bradshaw. She had admired him when she was a child, but now she didn’t know if she hated him or loved him after blaming her for what her father did when he pulled Bradley’s papers. A day at the beach changes the perspective of a lot of people while Lily’s father tries to train the pilots called back to Top Gun to be a team.

Miramar, California also known as FIghtertown U.S.A. was home to a very popular bar called The Hard Deck which was currently owned by Penny Benjamin. Penny had owned the bar for three years now and wouldn’t have been able to successfully run it without the help of her bartender and daughter Lily Benjamin-Mitchell. Her daughter was now 27 and had recently graduated with her second master’s in Business. Her first master’s had been in marketing. Penny was very proud of her daughter with how far she had come in life. Penny was planning to pass the bar to her daughter within the next few years but wanted Lily to get the full hang of things at the bar before any talk of signing the bar over came about. Penny was currently counting out the bottles of alcohol she needed to restock out on the floor when she vaguely heard her daughter squeal. A soft chuckle left her lips as she grabbed the box of alcohol and walked out of the double doors that lead to the floor. A smile formed as she saw her daughter hugging the one man who had made Lily possible. Penny came behind the bar and set the box of alcohol down chuckling seeing the two embrace. She waited until Lily pulled away from her father and turned to go back behind the bar. “Pete…never thought I would see you here,” she greeted lightly as she began giving her daughter bottles to organize.

Pete Mitchell - call sign Maverick - was a Naval Aviator and had been for over 30 years. He had first met Penny before going to Top Gun and reencountered her quite a few times over the years. One of those encounters ended up resulting in the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Lilian Nicole Benjamin-Mitchell or Lily for short. He had immediately claimed her and made sure to take time off to spend with her and get to know her and make sure he was a part of her life. He was extremely glad when she decided not to go into the military as he didn’t want to worry about her while she was on the other side of the world from him. He supported Lily moving back to Miramar to work with her mother at the bar. He had supported her going to college again after getting her first master’s. He would happily burn the world down for his daughter if it meant she was safe and had a stable life.

Lily loved planes just like her father and loved the thrill they gave her. The only reason she hadn’t joined the Navy to follow her father’s footsteps was because she had really bad eyesight and had to wear glasses since she was 6 years of age. The moment Lily turned 25, she had Lasik surgery done to fix her eyes so she wouldn’t have to wear thick ass glasses every day for the rest of her life. Lily had her father’s dark brown hair and stunning green eyes and was often called Sunshine by the Naval Pilots who attended Top Gun. Lily quite liked the name as she could surprisingly keep up with a lot of the jargon the pilots spoke because of the fact of who her father was. A lot of the naval personnel believed she was a pilot until she simply laughed it off and then would tell him she was simply a bartender and walked back to the bar. Lily had become quite popular with the pilots and the locals to the point where everyone considered Lily the owner of The Hard Deck instead of Penny who was happy to be able to take a step back.

Lily smiled softly as she listened to her father tell her about the test flight he had done and hitting Mach 10.4 before it blew up and he had to eject. Lily snorted as Pete told her what a kid had said when he asked where he was once he had reached a diner. She looked at him wide eyed. “He really said that? God, you must have looked like crap for him to think you were an alien,” she quipped, wiping out shot glasses and turned as someone called for the barkeep. She plastered a simple smile on her face seeing a blonde Naval pilot giving what seemed to be a flirtatious smile. She popped open two beers and smiled at him as she slid them over to the pilot and turned back to her father just as Penny rang the bell because her father had his cell phone on the bar. SHe giggled, shaking her head at her father and came over to him. “Don’t worry, Dad.” She grabbed an empty container to go around and pick up the dishware and empty glasses and bottles. She hummed softly to the music that was playing in the background. She turned and gasped as she bumped into someone. Her head snapped up as she saw someone whom she thought she would never see again. Standing in front of her wearing light, blue jeans, a white tank top and a hawaiian shirt that was unbuttoned paired with aviators. Sunshine swallowed thickly as her green eyes met the green ones of someone whom she had considered her first love. “Bradley,” she greeted softly, sounding almost out of breath. She hadn’t seen Bradley since he had yelled at her…blaming her for her father pulling his papers from the academy. She had been 11 years old when he had left for the academy. She had been 18 when she ran into him again. She had hoped to reconcile with him after not seeing him for 7 years, but he had blown up on her claiming she had known her father would pull his papers…claiming that she was selfish and unreliable just like her father. Sunshine adjusted the bin of empty dishes and bottles in her arms and looked away from him walking back behind the bar to have her mom take the bin to the back. The brunette quickly grabbed a towel to wipe down the bar doing anything and everything to ignore the stare she was getting from Bradley. She froze as her wrist was grabbed causing her to gasp and look up at Bradley.

-Flashback 9 years ago-

Lily stood under the intense rays of the sun as she smiled to herself to try and get a tan. She did occasionally like to not be a recluse and go out into the sun. She was slowly walking the sand while holding her sandals and dressed in a thin sundress that covered her bikini. Her brown hair was loosely tied back as aviator sunglasses covered her eyes. She gasped as someone bumped into her back and turned around to yell at the person who had bumped into her with no regard for her. She froze seeing Bradley Bradshaw standing before her…shirtless and sweaty. She swallowed thickly and removed her sunglasses from her face as he stared at her as if he had seen a ghost. “Bradley,” she said lightly and frowned as he scoffed at her looking disgusted and walked away from her. What the hell had she done to him to warrant that kind of behavior? “Hey! I was talking to you Bradshaw,” Lily snapped, narrowing her eyes at him as he stormed away from her. The moment that she said her last name he turned seemingly filled with anger and stalked over to her towering over her causing her to go wide eyed.

“You’re such a selfish bitch, Lilian. I can’t believe you would think letting him do what he did was okay,” he hissed glaring at her clenching his fists as Bradley’s anger got the best of him.

Lily furrowed her brow completely confused by what he was saying. Her confused look seemed to anger Bradley further as he leaned closer to her.

“Was it your idea for him to pull my papers? To set my career back years? Was it because of your stupid school girl fake crush on me you had your father pull my academy papers?” Bradley snapped at her blinded by his anger.

Realization dawned on Lily as she felt her own anger course through her body. “My dad pulled your papers?” she asked in a soft tone. “That was why you didn’t go to the academy right away?” Lily looked down hearing Bradley scoff and walk off towards where his coworkers were. She looked up again watching leave and felt sick to her stomach realizing that her father was the reason why he hated her and why he couldn’t go to the academy for years.

-End Flashback-

Sunshine blinked as she was drawn out of her thoughts as she heard Bradley call her name. She tried to pull her wrist away from his hand and frowned when he wouldn’t let go. “What do you want?” she asked lightly, staring into his eyes. He had grown a mustache and looked almost exactly like his father. He had gotten tanner, and Sunshine could tell he was far more fit than she had ever seen him.

Bradley Bradshaw gazed at the woman before him, his mind going blank. He tried to remember how she looked the last time he saw her, but all he remembered was his anger coming out and directing it towards her. He knew she wasn’t to blame for what her father did. Thinking back on it over the years, he realized that she hadn’t even known that her father was the reason why his papers had been pulled. The pilot gazed at Lily and swallowed thickly letting go of her wrist watching as she quickly made herself busy wiping down the bar. He blinked rapidly, hiding away any emotions that were surfacing and turned as he heard the familiar voice of Phoenix.

“This is how I find out you’re back in the states?” Phoenix called as she came over and hugged her fellow pilot. She smirked having seen the interaction between him and the bartender. “So…Roos what was that with Sunshine?” she asked, smirking at his confused look. “Sunshine the bartender you were just in a staring contest with? She works here with her mom, and the pilots have taken to calling her Sunshine.”

Bradley - or Rooster as that was his call sign - frowned as he looked back over at Lily. He could tell she was on the verge of tears and having a panic attack. The sight of her that way made his chest tighten for some reason he didn’t fully understand. He furrowed his brow seeing she was being comforted by a man whom he couldn’t fully see. He turned back to Phoenix with a frown. “Nothing. It was nothing,” he said with a tone of finality just as Hangman spoke, diverting his attention away from Lily…Sunshine…whatever her name was.

Sunshine was shaking as she finished wiping down the bar top. She looked at her father who knew immediately something was wrong with her. “I’m fine, Dad. I just wasn’t expecting to see him again.”

“Clearly something happened between the two of you for you to react this way,” Pete said with a frown and looked at Penny who was equally worried. He gave a nod to Penny and handed her his card to be closed out of his tab that had been run up. “I’m taking you home,” he said sternly and furrowed his brow as Penny gave him his card back saying it had been declined. He patted his pockets to pull out money and frowned as Penny simply smirked and rang the bell again to have some of the sailors throw him out of the bar.

Lily gave a small smile watching her dad get thrown out. She swallowed and looked at her mother as she was gently pushed from the bar by Penny.

“Go home. I can handle everything for the rest of the night,” she said, nudging her to get out of the bar. Penny knew Lily was not in her right mind with the encounter between her and Bradley just now.

Sunshine sighed and grabbed her bomber jacket that had all of the patches of the squadrons her father had been to over the years slipping it on as she walked out feeling eyes on her. She glanced over her shoulder seeing Bradley stare at her as he started playing the piano. The brunette looked away swallowing and going over to where her father was listening and flashing back to Bradley’s father. She touched his arm lightly. “Let’s go home,” was all she had to say before getting on the back of her dad’s bike.
