Sammy, once you are done with the surgery, you will wonder why you didn't have it 20 years ago. I had lens replacement surgery after trying to get PRK. I went in with a cateract from a previous surgery and vision of 20/3200 and 20/2800. I ended up with 20/70 and 20/20.
When I had the first lens replacement, I was totally wigged out, mostly because they had to start an IV on me and I have a phobia of needles. The worst part (other than the IV needle in the arm) was the eye drops which went all over my shirt. The eyes heal very quickly. You'll be seeing fine in no time...
