One of my best buddies had the same thing done. I 'babysat' him during recovery. If you knew him you would understand the reference. Worst part was, they taped the procedure, and he made me watch it with him!!!! EWWWWE!

Very good it cleared up. Our eyes are so important to us. I can just imagine how I would be sewing everything but a 1/4 inch seam if mine goes.

This is what's sooo nice about this board--you find so much info besides quilting! I'm needing cataract surgery next yr -after knee replacements (any info would be helpful regarding thsese too) and NOT looking forward to the proceedure. I am an eye rubber also and it's habit from childhood. Can you REALLY dislodge the new lens after surgery? Am concerned as I really do not want to lose myeyesite.
