To be honest, it was a struggle. The headrest was low which does put a quite a bit of strain on your back and on my neck. Ask for a pillow to put under your knees which does help. The op lasts for about 10-15 mins and I only just managed to get through it. My back was knackered for a couple of days afterwards.
I can't lay flat, due to bowel probs and lower back issues, so I knew it wouldn't be easy, it's same with when it comes to MRIs or scans. But I'm sure I'm more of a problem than most.
The main thing is that the op isn't painful, certainly uncomfortable without doubt but if I can get through it then anyone can. Saying that my other eye is now booked to be done within the next month or two. Not looking forward to it but the results are amazing and that is the main thing by a mile. Absolutely well worth it without a doubt.
