I've finally been given the crisp long distance vision I've longed for my entire life as a person with severe myopia.

18. I wish you the best of luck, it is an extremely routine surgery, although of course we are naturally a bit

Apprehensive because, well, it is our eyes!

Please keep us updated, and please post about how wonderful your vision is again, afterwards!

I spent some time on the Reddit board about cataract surgery and learned about lenses, etc. and all the wonderful things said about the J&J technis eyehance lens seemed to be true! That is what I have in my eyes and I know I don’t have anything to compare them to, but I feel they must be the best lenses in the world!

The second eye, I was not fully asleep for, so I remember all of it, but I was so pleasantly drugged up that I was disappointed the surgery only took maybe ten minutes because I was having so much fun looking at the bright light kaleidoscope colors (that’s all you see, nothing scary) and being all stoned, LOL. I was disappointed it was over so fast because I was enjoying the experience so much!

I was just lying there all wrapped in warm blankets, having fun. I have to say it really was a pleasant experience! Crazy as that sounds!

Before the surgery begins, they give you a series of eye drops to numb your eye (the first drop stings ever so slightly and then in a few seconds you feel nothing, and continue to feel nothing while they give you the series of numbing and pupil dilating eyedrops and gel.)

They also put an IV in, and that’s always the hardest part of any surgery, really. And that’s really not a very big deal, all in all.

Some people afterwards feel mild eye irritation, but I didn’t have that experience. No discomfort whatsoever.

They give you eyedrops to use after surgery that it is important to use as directed. They don’t hurt, at least I didn’t feel any discomfort.

I had my husband put them in for me the first day because my one eye was dilated for a full day so I couldn’t see as well as I needed to, for a day.

I can honestly say these surgeries were the easiest surgeries I have ever had, by FAR, and produced such wonderful benefits, I wish every surgery could be like these surgeries!

You will do just great, and I look forward to you posting afterwards about how excellent your restored vision is!
