I was nervous too when I had one eye done about 5 years ago. I get positional vertigo if I put my head down flat. But the doctor said I could bring a small pillow to keep my head raised up a little. When I got there for the operation, the nurses told me that a pillow would not be allowed. I was tricked! Thankfully, once I got a shot, whatever it was, it relaxed me and there wasn't any vertigo.
But I'm not sure I got the best type of lens. I went along with what the doctor recommended (Medicare HMO doctor). So I need glasses for reading. Glasses for long distance are helpful it I'm looking for a certain street sign while driving but otherwise I don't need them.
