Very nice....that’s my issue right now. I don’t think they will let me drive home. I have to figure out how to get there and back.

They are a traveling unit of doctors.

Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute....their head office is in Chehalis, Washington.

They have an office in Spokane, too.

I had Lasik in 1998. When my eye doc found cataracts about a year ago, he referred me to this office. As soon as I looked them up online, I knew it was the same place. That is a comfort.

They only come here on certain days of the week, so that is a factor in getting a ride from a work friend. I need to call and get the exact details of how it works, especially as I need both eyes. Days, times, return visits, second eye, and Mom. Serious problems each day since last week. One day at a time with her and mobility. Just finished putting together a “thingy” that goes over the toilet that gives her handles to help getting up.

Kathy, They would not start my surgery without first seeing the person that was going to drive me home. Must be an insurance issue, people driving and car wrecks due to after surgery poor eye sight.

Looks like you have found a great place to perform your operation. Wishing you all the best, no pain, no discomfort and better eyesight.

Only get one eye done at a time, you need time to adjust to the “new” eyesight and time to get over all the eye drops and vision issues that can effect your eyes after the surgery. I did not have any issues, and I am sure you will not have any, however it is best to plan for the worst and expect the best.. one eye at a time :-)

If I could, I would volunteer to drive you, however we are totally blocked in with 5-6 inches of that white stuff “SNOW”. One more time, hey this is TN not Alaska!!!

I Fr e-mailed “PROCON” about his operation, did not hear back, so he must have been on the way to the “VA” for his operation. Hope everything went A OK with no issues.

Let us/me know how your surgery went.

((((HUGS)))
