I needed glasses mostly for
reading. I had a pair in every room in the house, in the car and at the
office. The worst part was forgetting glasses when I went shopping or to
a restaurant. I was totally non-functional without glasses.
I felt fine before the surgery -
not nervous at all. I was very excited about having my eyesight corrected.
During the surgery, I felt totally comfortable. I did not feel a
thing and even chatted with everyone in the O.R. during the procedure!
Everyone at the surgical center in Gardner
was wonderful.
After the surgery I felt just a
little strange for the first few hours that I needed to leave the band aid on
my “surgery” eye. Seeing double made me a little nauseous for the few
hours after the band aid came off. I just napped for a few hours and
everything was fine after that. I was able to read without glasses for
the first time that same night!
Mostly my work has been affected
because I had prescription glasses for my computer work and prescription
glasses for regular reading. I do a lot of both throughout my work day so
it was frustrating before surgery. Not anymore!!! FREEDOM! I
can’t wait to see if it improves my golf game in the spring!!!
The staff, at both Dr.
D’Ambrosio’s office and the surgical center, was the best. Total
professionalism, compassion and understanding in all of the prep appointments,
the day of surgery and my post op visits. I would highly recommend
every single person that I encountered throughout this procedure!
