I had this surgery on both eyes at the dewily young age of 58. My husband had it two years ago. We were both astonished at what a relative cakewalk it was (except for having my head taped to the table the first time, which sent my amygdala into such panic that I knew to ask for extra Valium FIRST on the second surgery). And here's the unexpected bonus: neither of us hardly ever have to wear glasses anymore! Some modern medicine truly is miraculous.
