Thank you! Not too long ago someone posted an article that it's become unnecessary for cardiologists and anesthesiologists to be present during cataract surgery, because it's a pretty cut and dry process these days. There were several comments from people who had the surgery, and all said they were glad they'd had it done. One person said if they saw the needle coming toward their eye, they'd run away. Someone responded that they give you enough stuff to relax you to the point that you won't even care. That put me at rest, although I've never really been fidgety about my eyes as I wore contacts for years. The only discomfort I ever had from them was the one time I wore them too long. Learned fast never to do that again.
I also wore contacts for years. When I went through the surgery the worst part was getting the IV which my Dr insisted on. (my veins are almost not existent ). There was an an anesthesiologist that administers “the good stuff” . The entire surgery only takes about 20 minutes. Best thing I ever did.
You do not see the needle coming to your eye..thank goodness.
