My mother had her cataracts removed. They did it with lasers. After wearing glasses her whole life, at 85 she no longer needs them, only to read.
Sorry I have no advice, but I'm sending you my best wishes for a very successful treatment.

My advice is to just relax because it is such a piece of cake as far as medical procedures go! Oh and be prepared to see dust you never knew you had! My mother went on a cleaning frenzy after she had her surgery!

Take deep breaths, and maybe a couple of drinks and/or tranquilizers every day until it's over.
I had lasix and it's nothing. They will give you a valium if you feel very nervous.

They will sedate me, for sure. I am such a wimp, had to be put to sleep to have my eyelids done.
