My surgeon won't schedule the second eye until the first eye has completely healed, so I may not have the surgery on the second eye until next summer.
I guess I'll be muddling through for quite a while because I don't want to interfere with our annual six months in The Villages.
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.    |
My before surgery schedule only starts one day before the surgery.
Durezol (steroid) 4 times a day (breakfast, lunch, supper, and bedtime) and the Besivance or Ofloxacin (antibiotic) twice a day (breakfast & bedtime).
On the surgery day, I'll get some Valium before the Laser, and once at the surgery center, some Versed in the vein. My surgical coordinator says I'll be "on vacation". The Laser Assist and the surgery itself are not done in the same room, or, in my case, even the same building. The Crystalens Trulign IOLs are ordered in the power the ophthalmologist calculates and a range of powers to either side (plus and minus) will be on-hand in case the Verifeye ORA indicates something different.
Still....it's a very sharp blade....and I don't have THAT many eyes to spare.
