My Experience

I had cataract surgery to improve my vision. The day before the surgery I had a health assessment and was told to take medication. Upon entering the clinic, I was warmly greeted. They gave me a robe, took my blood pressure, and medication was placed in my eyes. My doctor then explained the procedure and I was given an anesthetic.

After the surgery I felt woozy. My daughter drove me home, and I rested for several hours.

 

My Advice

Be fully informed as to what is to take place, and do not be afraid to ask questions.
