They tell me I will have perfect vision for the first time in my life, but I've had some bad luck with surgeries so am nervous and excited for the possibilities at the same time.

Thanks for the kind wishes & positivity.

First one eye and I was stunned at the clarity and sharpness of the operation. I begged the doctor to do the second (not as bad as the first) and he "sort of" fudged on the insurance and had that one done.

In and out surgery, they give you some soft drugs and , trust me, I found it interesting and bing-bang over in a few minutes. I swear it was less than 5 min.

A few days of recovery and no more glasses, no more squinting, and a whole new world of color and sharpness to life.

Be excited , a lot to look forward to (pun intended)

That is what I'm hoping for, my left eye fixed and then hopefully no more than 1 week later getting my right eye fixed and no more glaucoma or cataracts and even more exciting no glasses. I haven't been able to see well without glasses since I was 7 and when I tried to get lasik when I was in my 40's, my corneas were too thin from earlier accidents. So happy that there's an option where I can see perfectly (allegedly, lol) and no lasers are needed, just new lens and a stent.
