Seniors

had glaucoma surgery and cataract surgery two years ago, I was only momentarily put under so they could numb my eyes. I was awake the rest of the time during the surgery. I remember the whole thing. I was nervous about getting the surgery, but did fine throughout the surgery. With the other eye I wasn’t nervous at all. I had to get them done two weeks apart. Only thing was, with second eye, I got home then developed a bad headache, nausea and pain in my eye. I knew what to do-get back to the doctor right away and they checked the pressure and it was to high so they drained fluid from my eye and I had immediate relief from nausea and eye pain. They had warned me both times before I left the surgery center, if I had any of those symptoms call them and they would get me in right away.
