Media Ophthalmologist Exposes Tom Aspinall "Stop Lying Tom"

Age has always been such an arbitrary way of decision making imo. Like 15. you're old enough to be dumb as fuck. But also old enough to become a capable genius. You're old enough to reproduce, but not old enough to legally have sex with someone 3 years older than you. People became leaders of countries at that age in the past no? i could be wrong about that... but you can't vote or drive at that age. Well maybe some places u can. And some 15 year olds are plenty capable of driving fine with good parenting and teaching.
People are all different. Using age to determine things has always seemed like a bad and lazy way of doing things.
Sure there's science to back underdeveloped brains and how kids are emotional retards. But there's plenty of 40 year olds that are still dumb as f that i would trust less than the next.

damage control meaning his reputation took a hit.
That would be the reason why circumstances and details may be exaggerated In order to save face.

It's interesting. I've gotten into using AI chatbots a lot lately. I've always been a big user of search engines online. They're far from infallible but pretty useful tools.
I asked Grok about Tom's surgery and it was very much on Tom's side, listing all the information put out by Tom's team. However, if you start asking certain questions, it suddenly becomes a lot less favorable. If you ask about the evidence this Dr on youtube gave showing the picture of Tom under the laser machine, Grok says that surgery for Brown's syndrome to release tendons is not done by lasers. Tom's pictures of bloody red eyes afterwards are more like someone undergoing LASIK as surgery for Brown's tends to lead to red eyes but much milder.
I asked Grok why if Tom had surgery on his tendons for Browns that he wouldn't just say that. Grok notes privacy concerns would be the chief reason. When I point out that it's Tom and his team that are releasing all the "news" online, it suddenly tells me that's a good point and undermines the privacy argument. lol
From Grok.com
Standard post-op signs for Brown's syndrome/strabismus surgery on the superior oblique include:
In Aspinall's case (Feb 2026 at Optegra), he shared gruesome red/bloody eyes photos ("1 day post-surgery") showing extreme inflammation and subconjunctival hemorrhage. This level of redness is possible after strabismus/oculoplastic work (especially bilateral, with tissue handling), but it's more commonly associated with refractive laser procedures like LASEK/PRK (which cause surface disruption and prominent hemorrhage/redness that resolves in 1–2 weeks).
For true Brown's repair (mechanical tendon work), you'd expect more subtle external signs—redness yes, but often less "horrific" or widespread than what's shown. Additional evidence of "real" Brown's surgery might include:
The photos alone (red eyes + ZEISS MEL 90 laser machine in OR pics) lean toward refractive surgery appearance, which doesn't align with standard Brown's techniques (no laser involved). If it was purely Brown's tendon release, more evidence like motility progress updates or specialist confirmation would help counter doubts—red eyes are common across eye surgeries, but the intensity here matches laser recovery profiles more closely. The opacity continues to fuel questions

Postoperative Appearance and Evidence Beyond Red Eyes
Standard post-op signs for Brown's syndrome/strabismus surgery on the superior oblique include:
- Mild to moderate redness and swelling (conjunctival injection) from the incision and manipulation.
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage (blood under the conjunctiva, causing red patches).
- Tearing, light sensitivity, foreign body sensation, or temporary double vision changes.
- Possible lid swelling or minor bruising.
- The eye often looks bloodshot/red for days to a week or two, but it's usually less dramatic than full LASIK/LASEK recovery (which can involve more diffuse redness, flap-related haze, or bandage contact lenses).
- No large external scars (incision is tiny and hidden under the lid or conjunctiva).
- Visible evidence might include: Slight ptosis (droop) or lid changes temporarily, but mostly internal/motility-focused—no big external wounds like from orbital surgery.
In Aspinall's case (Feb 2026 at Optegra), he shared gruesome red/bloody eyes photos ("1 day post-surgery") showing extreme inflammation and subconjunctival hemorrhage. This level of redness is possible after strabismus/oculoplastic work (especially bilateral, with tissue handling), but it's more commonly associated with refractive laser procedures like LASEK/PRK (which cause surface disruption and prominent hemorrhage/redness that resolves in 1–2 weeks).
For true Brown's repair (mechanical tendon work), you'd expect more subtle external signs—redness yes, but often less "horrific" or widespread than what's shown. Additional evidence of "real" Brown's surgery might include:
- Pre/post motility videos (showing improved upward gaze in adduction).
- Orthoptic test results (e.g., field of vision improvements, reduced diplopia).
- Follow-up clinic notes on forced duction changes.
- If silicone expander used, potentially subtle imaging (though not routine).

How? He VERY obviously got seriously poked in both eyes and couldn't continue. How is dragging out that injury, which could cost him millions of dollars "saving face?"
That's the problem with these stupid conspiracy theories. Aspinall gains nothing from "faking" this injury.

i'm not saying this happened, and i really don't care tbh, but is there a chance that he can't admit that he exaggerated the injury to get out of the fight? fighters do this, even those fighting for belts...

I'm not sure how much more simply I can explain common sense.
His reputation suffered a massive blow after the fight. Fans, old and new school fighters, analysts and executives of the sport largely criticized the way he handled the situation.
You don't seem to grasp that your own personal opinion of what occured In the fight doesn't change the fact that he's been receiving heavy backlash from all sources since then.
You asked what would be the reason someone might exaggerate their injuries. The answer is simple, damage control. To salvage his reputation and hopefully regain whatever career momentum he accumulated prior to this point.
Although It does beg the question, why post pictures of Lasik and produce headlines to make it seem like he just recovered from some horrible surgery? Lasik has nothing to do with the eye injuries that It's been claimed he suffered from.
At the end of the day, people are entitled to their opinion of whether that did or didn't happen, but Tom has certainly given the world a lot to question with how he's handled this.

remember when belal got eye poked?
that shit was for real.
and he came back with permanent looking crazy eye.
tom finishes the round and is visibly hurt by the crowds boo's when he WATCHES the replay.
on top of all that, look up medical surgeries to treat browns syndrome.
none of them are laser..
becauase you need to actually get in there to repair the tendon that controls the eyeball.
the whole thing is a charade, he's using it now to conveniently take off 3-6 months, of which he will be removed by the UFC, and then will conveniently sign some lame boxing fight, the whole thing will backfire because he wont make money afterwards.

The translation is pretty funny, I don't think he's actually being this tongue In cheek.
He basically verifies with evidence that Tom got Lasik and it's a fairly minimal surgery, but he tried to play it off as It were some life altering event.
Korean comment section absolutely ripping Tom to shreds as well.

It was close fight? in matter of strikes maybe...but damage? Aspinall - problems with breathing through his bloody nose which was mostlikely broken + he sustained broken orbital. During fight said that he cannot see and then watched replay with Joe without single problem and commented on it...
He was close to huge money fight with Jones. Instead he got fight with Gane and was close to lose everything. The eye poke was his way out...and its funny but i literally predicted every single move of Aspinall after fight happened. Including fact that "double eye surgery" will be basic lasik...

There's some terribly auto dubbed video 3 weeks ago called "How to become rich in the future = influencer" where he says being rich will necessitate becoming an influencer and focusing on increasing your brand to keep up with AI and this is how we need to survive, and that video has these tags

Then he does the Tom video, and less than 2 days later, a video on that video called "That an ordinary person like me became famous" as an explanation of how to become famous. He said that he saw the surgery picture with a purple light and gave his thoughts and it exploded, so he'll likely use Google (I believe he's saying) to ensure he can give more topical reactions to be noticed moving forward. Definitely some major red flags

That’s not evidence. Pleases don’tever consider a career in law. And don’t believe everything you see on the internet.

So do you think that Tom would win this dispute with his AI generated diagnostics about brown syndrom and later undergoing absolutely different !procedure! (not surgery)?
Lets not forget that he had no visible damage and his pupils reacted to light properly and was cleared to continue to fight inside of octagon by ringside doc and ref..
