I had surgery back in 1998 to have a large cataract removed from my right eye. I admit I was a little nervous of the procedure, especially since the surgeon said I wouldn't be completely "under" during the operation.
To tell the truth, I remember very little of the who deal, other than counting backward from 100 (I think I made it to 94 before my mind blurred out). However, the one thing I DO remember was being wheeled back into recovery, and there was no bandage over my eye that had the cataract removed, and I suddenly realized that I could see so much better than before!
Of course, that was back over ten years ago, and unfortunately, the cataract grew back again, so I have to have another operation in the not too distant future.
