Here is my advice.
No problem at all. They told me not to cook or clean for a day or two. Tell Sweetie it is three weeks. LOL The only restriction I had was to stay our of sand traps. I told the nurse that was always the plan.
I don't remember the urge to rub eye so that was not a problem. I went to Dr. Scoot Holman. As the nurse was prepping me at the surgery center she said he is the best surgeon. I tend to agree.
Please call if you need anything at all.

You go, gg. And like others have said, let us know if you need anything.

A tip Gracie. When I had my cataract surgery (Dr. Armstrong also), the prep team told me to open wide. I immediately opened my mouth big. How embarrassing. She is good and you will be fine.

I was reminding myself just last night that you did just fine. And you went there by yourself in a cab.

No worries hundreds are done everyday. After a few days you will be shouting


I CAN SEE.. Then do a happy dance..

Good luck Gracie. Many of my neighbors have had theirs done by Ocala Eye. No problems and everything was simple and quick.

Had it done two years ago Gracie, and I'm so happy I had it done. They give you some pills that make you feel like your in LaLa Land. From time you arrive to when you go home, is about two hours. Don't know what lens you chose, but I'm very happy with distance lens, and wear glasses for reading. Good Luck!!!

Never had it done so I can't offer advice. Would like to wish you well and hope everything goes great. Keep us posted.

Gracie, I am sure that you will do just fine! I am so glad that I had both of my eyes done. I still wear glasses so that I can read labels books, etc. I also went to Ocala Eye but I see Dr Elmallah.

GG - our prayers and blessings are with you. I know you will be fine.

Gracie

you will look back and say, they were all right it really was a piece of cake.

[FosterMomma]

Best of luck... I haven't had it done yet but everyone says it's a cinch. I'm looking forward to hearing that you agree!

Had both eyes done one week apart by Dr Ireland at St Luke's. On eye for reading and the other eye for distance. No long need glasses and I am loving that. Good Luck.

Didn't know they did that. Similar to monovision with contacts, did you lose some depth perception?

I had both eyes done at St. Lukes as well.
I did get mono...left eye close up and right eye distance.
I also chose to have what is called a Toric lense for my right eye that corrects astigmatism.

Going on four years with no need for glasses. No depth perception issues at all.

Dr. Ireland is the best eye care doctor I have ever encountered over the many years.
