I might need that surgery one day so hopefully what they recommend will not be harmful....good to know “refresh tears” has stood the test of time.
The surgery was a piece of cake for me. I initially had some apprehensions, but they give you something to relax you, and the time goes quite quickly. All I saw was bright colored lights while he was doing the laser surgery, and felt nothing. The only inconvenience is the two weeks in between the surgeries. I simply covered the right lens on my glasses so I could still watch TV and read when I wanted to. I now have 20/20 in both eyes, but do have to wear glasses with progressive lenses for reading and viewing the computer screen. No big deal because I've worn glasses since I was 12. I'm 75 now. I guess there is an option to get prescription lenses inserted, but I can't imagine the cost. The biggest change was noticing how bright everything was. I always blamed the fluorescent lighting in my apartment for the brown sepia tone everything had. After I had my first eye done, I couldn't believe that it had actually been my eyes that had caused the problem. The only bad thing is that now I see cobwebs I have to clean, and more facial wrinkles than I thought I had.
