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.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I too have small veins, and every time I’ve had other surgeries, after they’ve gouged the hell out my arms, they’ve had to call someone from another area to finish the job. Thankfully, when I go to the lab here to have bloodwork done, they’ve always been able to get the right spot the first time.
