Having had the treatment my eyesight is now better than 20/20 - something I never thought I would ever have. However, I have to say that I was a very nervous patient to say the least, and the procedure had to be stopped once because I was so petrified! But the surgeon persevered and the nurse had her hand crushed by me. I came out of the surgery and had to wait in the waiting room for about 15 minutes - not knowing that the whites of my eyes had haemorraged - they were bright red, which put the frighteners on a few people who were waiting to go in. I was told this happened very infrequently and would disappear on its own. It didn't hurt at all - just like bruising to my eye. I was concerned that it would be permanent as it was still there after three weeks. But to be honest I can't remember the day I woke up and the redness had gone. All in all, this op is totally worth it, I was just a very nervous patient who freaked a bit!
