    Thanks for the details; I was going AHHHHH the whole time reading that, but knowledge is good I guess. My vision is pretty bad (and I’m partially blind) but eek, not bad enough yet to consider that. Genuinely terrifying, even the middle ‘just a tiny cut’ option, if I have to be awake to any degree.

      I totally get that. There were a lot of concerned looking people in the waiting room to haha. Just FYI it becomes more difficult for your eyes to fully heal after the surgery as they age, so most places won’t operate on people older than ~35 due to the risk of complications.
