Paul it really isn't that bad! I had five removed the time before and hardly noticed it, so am not too sure why this time is so different.

Am still in pain but it is getting better. Am thankful to put eye drops in as that does help. I think though that if i could have Systane IV i would!!! :wink: :P :twisted:

I am not going to worry about it.

I just found that the timing of the discussion quite amusing. Think I forgot to put the smiley face in :-)

At the end of the day I trust the consultant to do whatever he has to.

If it hurts it hurts. Havent had any more pain than expected to be honest.

It is nothing to worry about. They give you drops and it only take 10-15 minutes. There is no pain involved. Bellieve me !

That's the best attitude to have Paul. :D As my experiences are so different to most other people's here I'm probably not the best to listen to on such things anyway.

Mine came out in two groups of eight (well, one broke so an eight and a seven).

There was a little discomfort after the first group came out, and my vision became weird.

The rest came out and my vision improved and is now at 6/6 -2.

No real problems Paul.
