Nothing more than a diary entry, and again, not a request for sympathy.
This one, the left eye, wasn’t the same as the other eye, evident by the gauze dressing that I didn’t have 4 weeks ago. I was trying to explain it to the nurse as I was waiting to go back down to the recovery room, and the surgeon overheard me. He explained that the injected anaesthetic had worked too well and the eye had totally gone to sleep and I that had no way of controlling it. The eyeball couldn’t move, the lids couldn’t close, and as such, I would not be able to blink; hence the gauze dressing.
I’m hoping when I have an opticians appointment in about four or five weeks, I will no longer need glasses other than reading.
Did you have cataract surgery? I personally have had this done in both eyes and together they are supreme with no spectacles! Need the glass to read though. Your poor eye!
I had a macular hole in my eye which was successfully repaired at Addenbrookes Hospital. This resulted in a cataract which the surgeon did some months later and he was so good that he offered to put a new lens in my other eye to match so I only need glasses for reading. They are so clever
I love the arrow, presumably to make sure the surgeon did the correct eye. Hope all goes well. I had two eyes done at once two years ago and been totally happy.
