Ok guys, an update, had the surgery on Thursday, all went well with the minor exception that the Atavan they gave me had basically zero effect, so I was totally wide awake for the entire procedure, not the most fun I have had.
I could see, albeit rather blurry walking out of the operating theatre. Went home and napped and by the next morning I could see distances quite well, had blurriness everywhere else but certainly not a biggie, just annoying.
Had eyes tested and came back as 20/20 in left eye, 20/40 in right with the blurriness. My normal vision was 20/10 so I still hope for improvement.
Reading is a pain as the eyes are in perfect focus about 8 inches away from the book, very clear and very nice..I gather from the good doctor that as the sac around the lens firms up, the blurriness that is there will go away and my near vision will extend towards normal reading distance (say 15").
Today, day 3, things are better again, vision improving and starting to feel like I could drive without too much trauma. Doc says I can drive on Monday....so I will.
So far, so good. Nice to not have glasses, process was not too bad.....eye drops (3 different ones) 4x per day is a pain, as is sleeping on a chair (need to stay on my back for a week, no sleeping on the side).
