GG, its a six minute surgery on my eye...so will stay in touch...eye is measured on the 25th and will see what happens after that. Distance vision is going, but close vision is fine. Do not know how the drops will affect the eye before and after surgery..thanks for the kind thoughts sent this way. One day at a time, one minute at a time. Worst case, dh will have to 'follow' directions to post for me. He hates to follow the directions, would rather do things his way!
