I'm glad that everything worked out for you man, I would have been SOOOO scared going in to it!! Haha

I guess there are risks with all surgeries, but this one is relatively common these days, and Dr. Feinerman is one of the best in the country.

As far as "legions of people who lost all ability to drive at night, and their QOL went to zero quick" they only do one eye at a time, so I kinda doubt that.

As I said, I went in Thursday, and was fine on Friday. The rewards outweigh the risks BY A TON.

The surgery is quick, painless, and you'll have no memory of it.
