This guy’s explanation is probably the one closest to what I experienced. I was so nerved up the day I walked into the surgical. The staff recognized my terror and went to extremes to calm me down. The rest went as this surgeon said. My doc was not as chatty, but when he put the new lens in I was asked to look at a red dot that appeared several times as the lens was fitted perfectly. Next thing I knew, they removed all the drapes and stuff and I in a wheelchair was taken to a recovery. BP taken. After surgery instructions given. A few sips of apple juice, then I wheeled out to my ride home.

A week later I had my other eye done. No terror. Same experience. I Sam totally amazed.

I had my first surgery. I was so scared I almost ran out of the waiting room. I was scared for NOTHING. It is a simple procedure with little discomfort. If you need it, pray first then go for it. Believe me I turn into a 2 year old when it comes to medical procedures, but this is a snap.

I had cataract remove surgery 3 weeks ago. I am an old guy who went through Vietnam war. So cataract remove surgery is not a procedure that I worried the most in my life. In fact I did not worry at all before surgery. I feel painless during and after surgery. My vision is a lot better in long distance. I will need reading lenses. That's what we planned. In another week i will go back to see Doctor to check and to make glasses. I copaid $1500 for 20% out of pocket money. It's worthy.

This is exactly 100 percent, true what the doc is explaining, every little detail and thing he talking about is true, from the prep, to the opp, the after snack and the excitement of the patient not feeling anything but in all awore, to thank the doctor and stuff for a job well done, !!!! These doctors are amazing. Well blessed.

I had both eyes done one week after the other.7 years ago .
I had it done by Dr. Robert Fegan of the Atlantic Eye group in Long Branch N J, It was a complete success and totally painless.
In fact he made it very enjoyable and showed me the The old cataract lens that he emulsified.
I was a text book perfect case he told me after the surgery.

I have cataract surgery next week, but after this video I went for a burrito

[esthermiller]

Thank you, doctor, for your kindness & consideration in explaining the procedure. I will be scheduled in about a week to have my cataracts removed sometime in the next five or six months. My optometrist had noted awhile ago that they are finally ready to be removed. So she sent me to see the eye surgeon. I saw him just three weeks after I saw the optometrist. He diagnosed me with glaucoma! I was very surprised that my optometrist hadn’t noted that just three weeks previous! I had assumed that optometrists were trained to recognize all eye diseases. Of course, the week after the eye surgeon noted the glaucoma he lasered both days apart. I must remember to ask him if the laser treatments cure the glaucoma permanently.

Not sure why 'music' was needed in the background as I was trying to understand the Doctor and not be inturrupted by all the other audio distraction.
