Cataract surgery went well.

[trof]

Piece o' cake.
No pain at all, except the nurses trying to find a vein for the IV.

Drops made my eye deader than a three day old mackerel.
No feeling at all.
Just saw some bright lights.
Surgeon said it was 'perfect'.
Well, he would say that, right?


The worst part is the eye drops.
Every hour post op today for the antibiotic.
3 times a day for the other two.
The schedule tapers off over the next two weeks.

I have a clear plastic eye guard taped on.
Hope I don't dislodge in the night.
Had to keep it on all day.
Only sleep with it on for the next four nights.

Immediately post op vision was very blurred, but has been improving almost hourly since. Hoping it will be much better in the a.m.
I got the toric lens ($1500, not covered by Medicare) but it's supposed to correct astigmatism.

I was a bit apprehensive going in.
Fear of the unknown.


If you're planning to have this done, DON'T SWEAT IT!
