Sometimes the side effects of a medication or procedure sound worse than the actual condition that needs healing.
We have to imagine there would be some folks completely fine with this particular side effect.
45-year-old Mark Bryan recently underwent laser eye surgery to remove some scar tissue, and when he emerged from the operation, he found it had some particularly interesting results.
For days, Mark kept seeing the same image, a pair of breasts in the right corner of his eye.
According to the Plymouth Herald, Mark named the vision “Taloula,” saying it was like having "Pamela Anderson pinned to my face."
He was eventually diagnosed with a condition called Charles Bonnet syndrome which causes hallucinations, often after significant vision loss. For Mark, these visions would appear without warning, like when he was brushing his teeth or watching TV, or even when he had his eyes closed completely.
After ten days, the vision disappeared. Mark said, “"It was very funny. I felt like such a teenager. I had that poster of Pamela Anderson on my wall when I was younger, this was like having it pinned to my face. My wife kept looking at me like I'd lost my mind, I just kept joking that I was going to run away with Taloula.”
