I went to Eye Specialists of Indiana and they did one eye one day and then I went back the next day for the other one. Actually one of the easier procedures I have ever had done. Will pray that your mind is calm and you have no apprehensions.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-12596039648426884952022-10-08T19:42:33.281-04:002022-10-08T19:42:33.281-04:00Thank you Bobbie - it is nice to hear from those w...Thank you Bobbie - it is nice to hear from those who have been on the 'fixing' end!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-29995624526058132842022-10-08T19:41:51.330-04:002022-10-08T19:41:51.330-04:00Thank you for your calming words.

My favorite eye surgeon always told his patients "Itchy, scatchy, blurry; no worries!" for the first couple of days after surgery. So don't panic if that happens to you ~ it is NORMAL! And yes, you will get something to help you relax through your IV.

He said it was seven minutes from the time they took me in until I came out. So, very fast. The guy who did mine does nothing else all day long all week. My only problem was I was allergic to two of the drops. That was agony. <br />I did not need glasses until I was 45 and then only for reading. I do need reading glasses but have to have prescription because I have astigmatism. <br />I, too, was terrified! But, it did turn out okay in the end.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-23847668359718995112022-10-06T21:14:42.903-04:002022-10-06T21:14:42.903-04:00What a huge difference this will make for you!

The surgery they said only takes a few minutes.<br />Day 2 they will post op on eye done - then do the second. That visit will be way shorter<br />I will get new lenses put in both eyes in place of cataracts.<br />Day 3 - with post op eval. on both and hopefully release. Maybe a half hour that day.<br />That is why. Plus they are picking me up and bringing me home - so makes for a longer day with them.<br />Hopefully that makes sense.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-23059889593260257652022-10-06T20:02:31.176-04:002022-10-06T20:02:31.176-04:00Yep, that is my concern!!!
