For me , I think the toughtest part is the eye drops as I never like to do this with my eyes. Lifeis filled with litle tradgedies. 
So much, for keeping the bigger picture in mind. 
BTW - I am now looking forward to having this done, as I will really like the fact, of not having to wear glasses!!! 20/20 vision, bring it on!!! |
Yes, you do need a ride home. Not just that the eye is triple diolated, but your still a little wousy, from the medicine they put in you, to make you feel relaxed etc. They wheel you out in wheelchair, so there is no problem. I'm sure you can find someone to take you home. Your doctor will recommend, what kind of lenses you can have. Some can't have the premium lenses for one reason or other. You will be so Happy when you get it done. By the way, the drops are very expensive for some, depending what kind of insurance you have. For the 3 bottles, mine cost 113.00. One of the nurses at Lake Eye, was telling me, some insurances pay very little, and some have to pay over 400.00 dollars. That's why its so important to have someone put the drops in for you, so you don't waste them. One drop, twice a day, per 3 different medicines. Like I said, piece of cake!!!!!
