I had my right(dominant) eye cataract surgery today. One Valium and some dilation and numbing drops and YES written over the right eye, and then walked (with help) into the Laser room for the laser portion of the surgery. No pain, just some pressure on the eye, lots of brightly colored lights, and finished in a very short time.
Then DW drives us to the surgery center where I go through a ton of questions and remove shoes and shirt and get a nice warm blanket. More eye drops and a sedation line inserted into a vein on the back of my hand. Didn't even feel the needle going in. Nice. Rolled into the surgery room, more bright lights and some pressure. Was awake the full time, followed all the look up, look down, look at the light, directions. After about 5 - 6 minutes everything was done, surgeon said all went well, and I'm wheeled back to the waiting area to recover a little and change back into my street clothes. Eye patch over the eye to stay on till we get back home and while sleeping or napping for a week.
Vision was very bright but blurry, and now before going to bed, the vision is getting much clearer. Back to the ophthalmologist tomorrow morning. So far so good.
