@bobsal u1553115,
Yeah, but I bet you held real still while the doc was working.

I had both eyes done - at separate times. It took almost two days to get clear vision, by the way.

@roger,
You bet I held still.

They took the bandage off today and I am shocked at how well it worked - unofficially the right eye is now 20/20.

I did not realize how bad the left eye is. My depth perception needs some fine tuning. They'll do it in June. Seems like the floaties in my right eye are less than before, too.

@Mame,
I am so ready for the next one. I am shocked, as soon as they took the bandage off, I could see clearly and brightly for the first time in over two years.

Good thing that jerk Max is gone. Non vaxxers cost me over a year and half of clear vision I could have had.

I absolutely loved my surgery, I would have done cartwheels out to the car but I can't do cartwheels anymore.

@glitterbag,
I will, a month or so after the second one is replaced. I roll a set in your honor!

@Ragman,
When the time comes, don't sweat it - it's simple and quick. The next day that eye was 20/20!

Thanks for the encouragement. It’s great to have good vision and good medical care.

@roger,
She had to tell me to stop talking. It was a snap and very quick. The actual surgery was about five minutes. The other hour was about setting up.
