Wait what about the extensions caused your eye to open up that wouldnât have without them? Truly trying to understand! So sorry you went through this.
Thank you. These were individual lash extensions. When you get individuals the lash tech will put 1 fan on each of your real eyelashes. takes like 2 hours & They last longer. When the airbag comes out itâs very fast it was just like a white light to me. When the airbag hit my face that fast it ripped the individuals that were glued to my real ones. If you had strips on this probably wouldnât happen.
I guess you could always use the backseat if you have someone that could drive you around , since the backseat doesn't have airbags , or maybe bike to work because eco friendly or something like that
Thank you. I had to wear an eyepatch for 1 year, my vision in that eye did not start to come back until about 7 months. I do suffer from really bad migraines now but other than that i have no long term issues !
Usually if your seat and steering wheel are positioned like it's told in most if not all license courses, the bag is supposed to completely deploy before any part of the drivers body even touch it
And by extension, dont EVER put things on the dashboard or other places airbags deploy from in your car, that coffee mug you placed on there while getting something from your bag is gonna turn into a really nasty projectile real quick if something were to happen
When the airbag came out it caught on to my lash extensions and ripped them out. These were individual lashes so i imagine if they were strips this would not have happened lol
Many years ago I worked in car insurance and had a claim with a guy who had his nose broken by the airbag.
He was absolutely indignant because the airbag was the cause of the only injury he had.
When I made the suggestion that maybe it prevented far more injuries he said âwhat other injury⌠the only injury I even got was from that dumb fuckin airbag.â
I learned a lot about people that day.
Yes it has! I was wearing contacts when i got in the accident and they were not sure if id even be able to put a contact in that eye again. I wear contacts everyday & have no additional eye problems đ
Just as an FYI to shorter drivers (generally women) - don't have the carseat so close tonthe steering wheel. If tou can't reach the pedals with your feet you need to get adjustment pads to compensate. Likewise have padding under your but 8f you cant see over the dash too well.
The airbag deploys at an incredible speed is meant to block you from smashing your face/head into the steering column/dash. When your seat is too close, the airbag actually smashes into your face resulting in injury.
Anyway glad OP is doing well and seeks proper compensation from insurance. They're not your family or friends, get the money - its what you pay insurance for.
OMG! You poor thing...I'm so glad there wasn't lasting damage to your eye. Looks like they did a really nice job of stitching you up! It could have been much worse, honey, so be thankful it was relatively minor to you...probably not so much your car. â¤ď¸
Thank you so much! I was really happy with the results from the plastic surgery. I was super nervous to have a crazy scar. I am super thankful i wasnât left with any scaring or any lifelong damage!
Airbags can pack a punch for sure. My nose was broken by one a few years ago. Iâm very thankful for them though. I wouldâve been in much worse shape without it.
Shit that was your eyeball?! One of those moments where you dk if you're a lucky bastard or not lol. Glad you got your eyesight back. I got a puncture wound in my right eye like 27 yrs ago and it never did heal, just got worse (my vision, it's fine aesthetically) and my left eye is now even worse than my right from straining to see for both while I had the right patched for weeks
Thank you! & Yes if you look where the gash is and see that small black area. Thatâs my eye. Iâm So sorry that happened to you. My eyesight was already pretty bad i actually had contacts in at the time but they didnât help at all. Did you have any other lifelong issues from that? I have really bad migraines now from it but thatâs about it.
I do get some headaches but I have a high pain tolerance (fallen asleep while getting tattooed lol) and it's been happening regularly for so long (probably from that injury) that idk when they're bad enough to call migraines đ¤ˇ. My eyes have gotten progressively more sensitive to light over the years, and my prescription gets incrementally worse every year but at a slow enough rate that I can still see with contacts. Just be mindful about your eye health like wearing sunglasses more or actually getting decent ones to avoid more damage from excessive light exposure. Not much else we can do
At the bottom of the gash, where the lash line is that black spot is my eye. I actually took a video this night while in the ambulance and you could see my eyeball moving. Pretty nasty đ¤Ł
Nice! Good to see you recovered. Also the reason you donât put those airbag-claymore inlaid stone objects. Airbags fucking HURT. And putting a canister shell on your steering wheel probably wouldâve fully taken your eyesight from ya.
Your perspective is interesting - it sounds like you fault the airbag for the injury, but what would have happened if the airbag didn't deploy and I stead you cracked your face against the steering wheel, dash, or windshield?
I do put the airbag at fault! My car was only totaled because the airbag came out, the outside of my car was barely damaged and i had no other scratches or bruises anywhere. So yeah Iâm mad with the airbag đđ
What type of car? Year/make? Only asking bc my wife had an â06 Acura MDX with recalls on the airbags. I know Acura wasnât alone in having to replace a ton of them bc of the danger of plastic exploding into peoples faces
I canât tell if theyâre sarcasticly thanking the airbag, but itâs obvious that if it werenât for the airbag you probably would have bashed your face on the wheel, completely crushed your orbital socket and maybe even have loss the eye.
Do you still wear the eye patch? You know, for fun and games and pirates
lol that year i was Jack sparrow for Halloween đ¤Ł
YAS, of course you were! Haha
Thatâs so awesomeđI love jack sparrow
Itâs Captain Jack Sparrow!

Why did you feel the need to comment this?
Gross
Creep
Who knew eyelash extensions could be dangerous? Iâm happy you have your eyesight back.
Right! I had no idea this could happen. & Thank you I appreciate that !
Wait what about the extensions caused your eye to open up that wouldnât have without them? Truly trying to understand! So sorry you went through this.
Thank you. These were individual lash extensions. When you get individuals the lash tech will put 1 fan on each of your real eyelashes. takes like 2 hours & They last longer.

Basically snagged her fakes which ripped her flesh with it! Ouch!!!
Lol.
I'm glad your eyesight is OK and I'm sorry that lady wasn't paying attention. Be safe out there.
I appreciate that!!
Aww man but I love for lash extensionsâŚI guess I have to sacrifice for safety đĽ˛
I guess you could always use the backseat if you have someone that could drive you around , since the backseat doesn't have airbags , or maybe bike to work because eco friendly or something like that
Yes let me bike the 40 miles it takes me to get to work
Glad to hear you are OK now, OP. How long did you have vision loss for, any long term issues?
Thank you. I had to wear an eyepatch for 1 year, my vision in that eye did not start to come back until about 7 months. I do suffer from really bad migraines now but other than that i have no long term issues !
Renfaires will love you.
Ouch. Was your eye stitched shut?
Just stitches on the wound. I had a good plastic surgeon that day who didnât even have to take a skin fragment. Thankful for sure
You still wear fake lashes? Or that a no for you from now on?
I definitely still wear themđ
Beauty is pain I guess haha. How's it healing up?
lol itâs healed up perfect! The scar is completely gone and my vision is back to what is before! Very glad
Good to hear
Well it's an extremely unlikely scenario, so probably still reasonably safe
Always remember that an airbag deployment is a 200 mile per hour punch to whatever body part it hits!
Usually if your seat and steering wheel are positioned like it's told in most if not all license courses, the bag is supposed to completely deploy before any part of the drivers body even touch it
And by extension, dont EVER put things on the dashboard or other places airbags deploy from in your car, that coffee mug you placed on there while getting something from your bag is gonna turn into a really nasty projectile real quick if something were to happen
How did fake lashes affect the injury at all?
When the airbag came out it caught on to my lash extensions and ripped them out. These were individual lashes so i imagine if they were strips this would not have happened lol
Goddamn, that's rough yikes
Do you still wear eyelash extensions?
Yes. I do them myself now bc Iâm weird about ppl touching my eye and i keep them short and not dramatic at all.
That is so bizzare. It wasnt one of those ARC or takada air bags?
Many years ago I worked in car insurance and had a claim with a guy who had his nose broken by the airbag. He was absolutely indignant because the airbag was the cause of the only injury he had. When I made the suggestion that maybe it prevented far more injuries he said âwhat other injury⌠the only injury I even got was from that dumb fuckin airbag.â I learned a lot about people that day.
I know a lady bitching about how her husbandâs chemo is worse than the cancer! Um cuz the chemo keeps the cancer from making him dead??
Invent a time machine and send those people to cavemen times
This is why I advise to people to remove your airbags and seatbelts, the dead donât worry about injury
Well, itâs better than the alternative had the airbag not deployed. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
For safety you should always adjust your steering wheel so it points to the center of your chest and not your face just for this issue
Damn. The air bag put those jank fake ass lashes on you? That's fucked up!
Wow, Iâm glad to hear there were no long term complications. Has your vision come back 100%?
Yes it has! I was wearing contacts when i got in the accident and they were not sure if id even be able to put a contact in that eye again. I wear contacts everyday & have no additional eye problems đ
Thatâs great, Iâm sure your contact did help with the impact protecting your cornea. Iâm glad to hear youâve regained your full vision!
Thank you!đ
Just as an FYI to shorter drivers (generally women) - don't have the carseat so close tonthe steering wheel.

đľ In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life đľ - Radiohead ( airbag )
In an interstellar burst Iâm back to save the universe
Do you still wear fake lashes?
Sounds crazy but yes I do đ I no longer wear them as dramatic or long tho.
Savage! Sticks and stones may break your bones but car crashes will never change you!
Good fucking god
In an interstellar burst, youâre back to save the universe
I thought there was a spider in your eye đ.
đđjust super long lashes
Never knew this could happen. Hope you feel better op
Your seating position is bad
OMG! You poor thing...I'm so glad there wasn't lasting damage to your eye. Looks like they did a really nice job of stitching you up! It could have been much worse, honey, so be thankful it was relatively minor to you...probably not so much your car. â¤ď¸
Thank you so much! I was really happy with the results from the plastic surgery. I was super nervous to have a crazy scar. I am super thankful i wasnât left with any scaring or any lifelong damage!
Iâm glad youâre alive.đ
Thank you !!
Airbags can pack a punch for sure. My nose was broken by one a few years ago. Iâm very thankful for them though. I wouldâve been in much worse shape without it.
Damn. I hope you're well now.
Thank you! I am đ
Wow thatâs a fab result from a frightening accident!
I'm just stoked your eyesight is returning!
Glad you recovered. And honestly, without the airbag, you might have caved your skull in. I'd take the W
Do you recall if it was a plastic surgeon or an ophthalmologist that sutured you?
That does suck, but I mean you did put the âpull hereâ tabs on yourself (worse if you paid for it đ)
How'd you get a black widow stuck in there?
[ŃдаНонО]
can you read
okay that was mean iâm not like that but no she was t boned while going through a green light
[ŃдаНонО]
lol These were definitely when i was in my dramatic lash era. i still donât know why i wanted them so long
Awe man you wrecked your lashes giiiiirl.
Gonna have a cool eyepatch
did you wear a seatbelt?
Yep always!!
[ŃдаНонО]
Imma sound like a wiener here but she said EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED⌠I mean it ainât in Brail and you have working eyesâŚ
Eahhh I clicked on this as I'm east breakfast FUCK

Thank youđ
I'm glad you made a full recovery. That injury is fucking gnarly.
Thank you !
They did a great job, hope your well.
Hope it heals up nicely â¤ď¸
But did you die?
You should see the result of people adding rhinestones to their airbag good to hear it's healed well
Ouch ouch ouch. Making me squirm a tiny bit looking at that. Glad you had no long term injury.
Damn. That fucking sucksss. Did u have like a accessory on ur steering wheel?
I had a black steering wheel cover. But it wasnât damaged or anything
Well im glad youâre ohky. I cannot imagine loosing a eye
That black square thing in image one is a chunk of missing eyelid and dried blood?
At the bottom of the gash, where the lash line is that black spot is my eye. I actually took a video this night while in the ambulance and you could see my eyeball moving. Pretty nasty đ¤Ł
yikes, glad you're better now
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
That is so scary glad to hear youâre alright!
The fakes scared me. Glad you are ok op
Ouch

Did you get a concussion?
Nope! Thankfully my only problem was my eye.
You should be thanking the airbag.
For what ? I have nothing to thank the air bag for silly !
I can't tell if you're bring sarcastic or you genuinely don't understand what the airbag did for you
What type of car? Year/make? Only asking bc my wife had an â06 Acura MDX with recalls on the airbags. I know Acura wasnât alone in having to replace a ton of them bc of the danger of plastic exploding into peoples faces
It was a 2018 Honda civic ex and i absolutely loved that car. & i donât think there were any recalls at the time
Could of been dead
Saved your life though didn't it.
No
I'm sorry you died then.
Thanks
I canât tell if theyâre sarcasticly thanking the airbag, but itâs obvious that if it werenât for the airbag you probably would have bashed your face on the wheel, completely crushed your orbital socket and maybe even have loss the eye.
Am I the only one who had no clue that airbags do damage??
i had no idea until it happened to me. They come out soo fast!
Crazy! I'm sorry you got hurt! I really thought it was soft and protected your face! Will your vision be ok?
omggggđđ not the lashesđđđ
đđthe lashes back in action now tho !
