Summary

“I set out to open my eyes to the world, but came back nearly blinded by it.” What do you do when you're in a third world country and you get an eye infection that goes from bad to the absolute worst?

One minute everything is fine, then next minute he has pulled over because his vision is rapidly deteriorating. This episode is chock full of adventure, gag inducing eye j**z, and life altering experiences.
