Hope your op goes well, I was assured yesterday that the apprehension we may have before the op is completely unwarranted.

Thanks for that, that's just want I needed to hear. I can't say I've not been nervous. When it comes to eyeballs it has been freaking me out a a bit lately. Obviously it's not something I can ignore or put off. But will be glad to get it over and done with. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks Daddy for the advice too. As it stands I can't read this text (even though it's at 150% magnification) sitting 2ft away from the monitor with my right eye. So any improvement is better than what it is now. As you say, I've just got to go through it and trust them.
I was told to go through the hospital I'd have to wait a year or so, but a private place are doing NHS and they've got me in as an emergency (within a month) due to my eyesight kind of went overnight.
