I can’t keep my eyes open for the glaucoma test. I’m pretty sure that LASIK Would be impossible for me (unless they have A Clockwork Orange–style devices holding the eyelids open).

I’m not sure if it’s the exact device depicted in that film. But the lids are forcibly held in an open state during surgery while you hold your head still on a table and focus on a green light.
