The surgery itself is painless, fast, all done by laser. It was only
the one type of surgery that required the head to be down for a while.
The drops were put in about 4 times a day

What you need may be different and even easier. He's had a few eye
surgeries including cataracts, also quite easy. I understand your
concern, but I'd be more worried about the consequences of not doing it
rather than the fix itself.

Thank you for the explanation. I've had both cataracts done and I feel
squeamish about having more done to them.

At my age, maybe not so necessary. When I had one of the cataracts done he
told me the retina in one eye was a bit like a lightly scrunched up tissue.

My optician does a good job and I can see fairly well most of the time. I
am very pleased your grandson had all he needed. I think it is important
for the young.

Thank you.
