My sister had it done, they do one eye, then if all good the other a few weeks later.
- immobilise the eye,
- slice cornea,
- remove lens,
- insert silince replacement,
- close the wound.
You're awake looking up the whole time.
End result:
- clear vision especially at night,
- daylight is painfully bright - you'll need sunnies for a while
- colours are vastly more saturated.
Downside:
You can't focus and will need reading glasses for close work.
I'm beginning to think my time is coming too. While I'm fine for ordinary things, I have noticed a defect when looking very intense objects with extreme contrast in my scope. Am seeing my optician about this next week.
