I also wish you all the best. On this board there a few people that are very kind, considerate and reassuring. You are one of those people, as are people like rfsapiens, alexo and many of the others you named. They play the issues and not the man, so on the basis of reaping what you sow, your surgery will be a success, as will yours rfsapiens. Don't be discouraged by stories like mine and rfsapiens as we are works in progress, who hopefully will come out the other end with better than satisfactory results.

Keep an open mind about what you will see when the patch comes off, as perhaps a fault of surgeons is not to prepare us for some post op debris of a temporary nature. If we know there could be some and that many others get it and it resolves, this might prepare us better. Still probably at least a 50% chance you will be clear from the beginning.

All the best that your christmas present this year will be a clear eye

Warmest regards

Dave
