Re: Eureka!

Ms. Brainy, I certainly support your view concerning a patient's right
to have a say in decisions related to his/her health care. After all,
it's the patient (not the doctor) who must live with the results. The
notion that the doctor knows best is totally outdated, as far as I'm
concerned. I truly believe that you avoided potential disaster by
rejecting the Crystalens. And why should you assume the risks of
injectable anesthesia (which, by the way, tend to be higher for myopic
eyes) when (safer) topical anesthesia can be used? My priorities
apparently differ from yours in one aspect. In your place, I'd
probably prefer to do surgery on my second eye sooner (rather than
later) in order to have more comfortable binocular vision. But you
have every right to find a doctor who respects your priorities about
having a second procedure. Best wishes for successful surgery.
