There is absolutely no pain with the surgery. You will have to do a regimen of drops afterwards. My cataracts developed in both eyes very quickly; in 3 months, and I was legally blind. I now see 20/20 distance with weak readers due to astigmatism that even the most expensive lenses could not correct. My lenses were $5,000 out of pocket but worth every penny. Good luck with your surgery...should be a breeze!
Thanks so much. Nice to know what goes on before hand, from other then Dr's office Having first eye done on 11nth, then second on the 31st!!
