I am scheduled to have my first eye done next Tuesday. I'll probably have the surgery on my second eye next summer.
I'm thinking now that I'll need two new pairs of glasses, one for this winter, and a second pair after the second surgery.

My required routine seven days prior to surgery:
Use Refresh eye drops four times a day. No eye or face makeup for seven days.
Clean eyelid twice a day with Systane Lid Wipes, then use hot compresses.
Three days prior to surgery, I start using Zymar drops four times per day.
After surgery I use Prednisolone drops.

People have told me not to sorry about the surgery, it's no big deal. But that doesn't help.
My anxiety level is through the roof.
