It took the best part of two hours to get prepared for the op. Dressing-up for the operation, drops of liquid to prep the eye itself etc. The whole operation took less than 10 minutes. Looking into the harsh light with your eyes open wasn't easy. I really felt uncomfortable with that. But, as said, in the end it was an under 10 min job.
I went home with a pirate-like eye-pad and apart from a light stingy feeling, there was no pain etc. And now, it's completely okee, pain-wise.
I was allowed to remove the eye-pad around 8 AM this morning. The first impression: everything is SO BRIGHT and LIGHT! It's like going from candlelight to xenon light! The difference between the 'new' right eye and the 'old' left one is unbelievable!
All is a little vague and everything has a halo. Earlier, I looked outside and the streetlights all had halos around the light itself. And for now it looks as if I'm looking though a fish-eye lens. I cannot say I can do without glasses. But that wasn't the ultimate goal. Let's see what happens in the days to come.
Later today I'll receive a phone call from the clinic and we'll discuss what I've written here and hear what their comment is.
