.I had my pre sergury evaluation yesterday. Doc said my eye balls are extremely healthy for my age. She was some what surprised.
I did my home work, and picked the top rated eye surgeon in town. She even flies around the country for these types of things.
After a discussion, mostly about seeing the golf ball landing farther down the fairway (200+ yards) I'm going with the distance IOL. When done, I will see everything farther than arm's length, much clearer, and crispier. Probably with out glasses. I will still need to use reading glasses, but even that will be much clearer.
Right eye surguery is scheduled for 3/18, and my left eye a week later on the 25th. Pre surgery prep will take 30 minutes. The actual surgery will take about 5-6 minutes for each eye. Recovery afterwards about 90 minutes before they show me the exit door. About 2 hours from start to finish.
Each eye will require 3 weeks of meds (eye drops & pills) and two follow up visits.
First follow up is the day after the surgery. After that, I can go about my normal business.
The only thing that has me thinking about the two procedures, is that I will be semi conscious. I won't feel anything being done, but I will be aware that "something" is being done.
Should be an interesting sensation.
