Alex, You can choose between topical anaesthetic [drops in the eye] or the traditional injected local type. For some reason unknown to me, the
surgeon prefers the latter. Either way it is a little odd being aware of things happening in the eye, but not feeling anything at all. You can converse with the surgeon if you need or want to. My first one took about 20 mins, and the second 17 mins. Nothing to it, unless you're a
hospitalphobe. [new word].
Glend, an obs would be nice, and my children offered to build one for me,
but SWMBO won't have a bar of an "ugly thing" in the back yard. One of my daughters has an undeveloped 1hectare block which would be good,
but I'm loath to risk leaving my gear in an unattended paddock.
My macula is swollen, and has needed an injection in the eye, and ongoing drops every day to try and fix it. Don't know how long, it was
discovered during cataract treatment. The other eye is fine.
