How do they do that? I know you will be nervous anyway, but try to relax. I hope it goes great and those nasty little floaters are gone forever!

its a vitrectomy with cataract surgery. They suck out my vitreous and will give me a new lens to correct my nearsightedness.

That's double good then. You will be able to see better, no glasses and get rid of the floaters.

We know you're nervous. Still sending comforting thoughts your way. It'll be a snap. It's just the thought. Once you find out how smoothly it goes, you'll be able to gross people out by telling about it. You'll be in the "aw, it was nothing" club. Mich

so far i only see a couple dots in my eyes. I dont know if they are floaters or blood. Also the iol didnt correct me 100% as i think i will need a weak pair of glasses to fix it.
