Cataract Surgery Tomorrow Morning

Today I started the three antibiotic eye drops that are needed to be taken every five minutes apart, four times a day. This is for the cataract surgery that I have done early tomorrow morning, in Owen Sound' Hospital. Actually I admit that I'm a little nervous about the cataract surgery, the thought of someone making an incision into the eye is troubling. They say there is nothing to it these days, with all the surgical technics and professional staff. It will be my right eye will be done first. And because I also have glaucoma it is necessary for me to go back to the doctor's office at 4:10 PM after well after the morning surgery. He probably has to take my pressures and make sure everything is alright before he sends me home. My left eye will be operated on in January and hopefully I will have good vision, so that it is possible to read normal print once again. For so long, I have been relying on zoomed web browsers, large print book and sitting close to the television set My left eye got worse for a long period of time, but the vision has improved in it somewhat allowing me to do computer work and read. All I can do is cross my fingers and hope for the best that everything goes well. I had measurements taken in the surgeon's office two months ago and they reassured me that they would such an improvement. I hope so for my sake.
