I don’t wanna!
I’m having eye surgery tomorrow, and I’m starting to get really anxious about it. I had the same surgery before but it didn’t hold.
I’m really hoping it works this time.

Good luck!
I had a pterygium excision and graft in one eye a few months ago, and finally got my "all done" release just a few weeks ago. There's a risk of it coming back, so important that we keep an eye on that eye,
It was uncomfortable and itchy for a few weeks, lots of aftercare with antibiotic drops and eye guards. But the surgery restored the vision in that eye to near 20-20, so a very happy ending to the ordeal.
I sincerely hope that you do as well.

@Heartlander Glad it worked out for you. Thank you.

Good luck with the surgery. I can fully understand that you "don't wanna". For whatever reason, I'm terribly sensitive about my eyes and even one of those eye exams where they touch the eyeball to test the pressure makes me cringe.
That said, if you need the surgery, you have to have it. Try and stay calm and trust in the doctors. (((HUG)))

@ChipmunkErnie Thank you so much. I do need it. I have double vision.

@Dewkissedrose Sounds like something you just cannot NOT deal with if they can help you. Stay positive.

@ChipmunkErnie I know.

I had Lasik and it was a piece of cake, eyes scratchy for a day or two but the actual procedure was done in a few minutes.

@Roadsterrider I wish it were that easy. This requires general anesthesia. It’s pretty intense.

@Dewkissedrose You got this, sleep through it. You will be back on here tomorrow telling everyone it was a walk in the park.

@Roadsterrider Give me until Wednesday to say that. I had this done before. They tuck this long stitch into the eyelid after surgery. So that’s in my eye. Hurts like heck! But, Wednesday, they use the stitch to adjust eye position then cut it. Once that is done it’s not as painful. Freaky process though. Lol

Eye surgeries aren't a permanent fix

@ChipmunkErnie Mine should have lasted, but I discovered that the cause was a med I was on. That’s why it didn’t hold. I should be good this time.

Retina or cornea?
Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F
@Fukfacewillie neither. It’s strabismus surgery (double vision).
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
@Dewkissedrose Sorry to hear it. I’ve been under for retina stuff for years.
Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F
@Fukfacewillie That doesn’t sound fun.
