I was given a mild sedative that allowed me to be conscious and cooperative but relaxed. I can remember the doctor and assistant chatting and then it was over in just a few minutes.
I was very afraid that I would not be able to keep my eyes open, but that was not the case. I was afraid of anyone cutting my eye, but no pain and not like I had feared at all. I reached out on this forum and many kind people reassured me. I felt comfortable with the doctor and staff and was really impressed with the process. Dr. Armstrong at Ocala Eye is skilled,smart, warm and very patient and the people who work with her at the surgical site and here at the office are kind and helpful.
I am waiting to hear about this new process with no eyedrops afterwards from the poster.
In my procedure, there were several different kinds of drops applied for varying lengths of times and frequency. Nothing hurt or burned but it was part of pre op and post op care for two weeks, maybe more.
