Amber, my sister just had both eyes done.... cataract surgery went easy and 2 days apart.
My surgeries were farther apart, but went well.
Pro's, you'll appreciate....
1. You'll get true blue back. Wonderful, as I adore blues.
2. Vision correction. I chose moni vision. Far sighted in right eye. Near in left. Neither is perfect, but will survive in apocalypse with ok, uncorrected, vision, imo.
I will say, my brain despised having imperfect vision and mono vision for a good long while. I admit....I demanded the doctor UNDO it, and wanted contact lenses BACK. He demanded I try it out. It's what I have now, and I acclimated...my brain acclimated....I need readers, but am ok without distance correction. I need it, but make do.
I should have gone back for a touch up, but couldn't make myself go. You should avail yourself, as it will likely be offered.
My sister just enjoyed her touch up, and is so glad she did.
Will say this .....my brother had mono vision first, and was frustrated when operating heavy equipment.....it was an adjustment for him. It would be, for you, also.
I suggest you ask your doc for Ativan, or something to calm your Nervous System before surgery, if allowed.
I remember seeing things, during surgery.... which was ok, but.....not ideal.
That's happened before. I think my body metabolizes drugs quickly? It's a thing. Docs and nurses very freaked out when I tell them things they did, during surgery. If course, you'll be Uber loopy, perhaps difficult to wake/get moving, IF they increase the anaesthesia, IME. It's a balance.
After surgery, maybe figure out how to center up toilet, before sitting. You'll likely fall half-into the tub, or floor, many times, post op.....you won't be able to trust your instincts, so stop, line things up, then carefully place your weight. Only a suggestion.
Will be ok.
