1. Yeppers. Both eyes. I couldn't wait for my eye doc to do them!
Everything went very smoothly. You get a nice, not too deep, anesthesia. You are relaxed and there is really no discomfort. I remember very little from the procedure. I had a van take me to and from the procedure site. It was a little inconvenient not to be able to drive the next day and to have to get a ride to the doc to have the bandage removed, but after that all was well.

My cataracts had gotten bad and I was still working at the time. So I was concerned about driving at night, which my job sometimes required me to do.

Not a big deal and you'll see better than before!

they numb your eyeball. there was no pain though the effects of the work is that you see psychedelic stuff. it was kind of a trip. you have to wear those black plastic glasses for a day. 24 hours later it was like nothing ever happened except everything didn't look yellow and things were back to being 3d. hope I helped and not weirded you out.
