Another small CRT about Jeff the Killer

782

So, a while ago I did a CRT on Jeff, in which it was accepted to give him Enhanced Senses because he can see normally without the need for eyelids.
Enhanced Senses (He somehow didn't lose his sight after burning his eyelids off to never blink again[1], which would realistically make him blind almost immediately due to dust and particles getting into his eyes)
I currently have some doubts about whether that qualifies as enhanced senses.

This is what blinking does:
Blinking is essential for your eye health. It plays a key role in:

  • clearing debris from your eyes, like small particles from the air, dried tears, and dead cells
  • bringing nutrients and other substances to your eyes that help keep them healthy
  • wetting your eyes, which prevents dry eyes and reduces your risk of problems with your tear film
  • bringing oxygen to your eyes
And this is what happens if we don't blink:
If you don’t blink, or don’t blink frequently enough:

  • Your cornea can swell. Your cornea doesn’t have blood vessels, so it needs oxygen from the tear film, which it gets when you blink. If you simply blink less often, your cornea should still get the oxygen it needs. But if you don’t blink, the lack of oxygen can lead to corneal swelling. In fact, your cornea even swells a little bit when you sleep, but goes back to normal soon after you wake up.
  • Your eyes won’t get the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
  • Your eyes can dry out, because your tear film isn’t being replenished. This can lead to eye pain and blurry vision.
  • Your risk of eye infection increases due to debris that stays in your eye and a lack of oxygen to the eye.

Source.

So, considering that not blinking seems to culminate in an eye infection and loss of eye health, I propose we change this to "Resistance to Disease Manipulation" which would also make sense considering he cut his cheeks and apparently never got infected.

For the "Jeff vs. Slenderman" version of him, this is easier to debunk, as it is mentioned that the rain clouds his vision, and it is mentioned several times that his vision tends to become blurry. So his senses are not as "enhanced" as we might say.

So. Thoughts?
