No pain. All gain. I chose astigmatism-correcting laser cataract surgery to both give me super-sharp distance vision and to remove the cataracts that clouded my vision, making it impossible to drive at night (among other things). I still use a pair of cheater glasses for reading, but no more trifocals, no more stuffing contacts into tired eyes, no more fishing around for glasses just so I can get out of bed. Dr. Marie Bui performed my quick surgeries (eyes about a week apart) kindly explaining every step. There was NO pain, and I'm a pain wimp. No pain after, either. Prescribed drops and artificial tears soothed my eyes. I didn't even need a Tylenol in addition to the one provided at the surgery. Totally worth it. Should have done sooner.
