I had a lot of post surgery pain. I was hysterical and could not stand the pain even with a blanket covering my eyes. My husband had to take me to Kaiser and I spent nearly 30 minutes in extreme pain in the pharmacy as he yelled at the pharmacists to give him the GD eye drops. It wasn't pretty. I got home into a dark room and put the pain drops in my eyes, laid down in bed, and was fine within about 5-10 minutes.

GET THE PAIN DROPS BEFORE THE SURGERY.

If you don't need them, fine, but have them ready. It was my biggest mistake.

I could not look at a computer screen or go outside for a few days, the light sensitivity killed me. I started getting really paranoid. But within a couple weeks I was back to normal, and the night halos even went away within 6 months or so.

Best thing I ever did, but I wish I would have prepared a bit better for those complications.

:jaw: Pain Drops Before Surgery - CHECK!!!! :o :jaw: :o

Had it done at age 37. I have blue eyes.

My experience was similar to others': Went well, felt great within 48 hours, did have increased dry eye afterward, but it seems to have improved over the last 2 years, have some halos at night but it's nothing compared to the glare off oncoming headlights when wearing glasses. I do feel that my close-up vision was worse afterward, but I'm on that cusp of needing reading glasses anyway.

All in all, I am very, very pleased with it.
