Can't think of anything worse than someone hacking around in an eye! Hope the operation goes smoothly and you get a one shot fix.
All the best with that John certainly does not sound like much fun. I had to go and have my ears syringed two weeks ago and I thought that was bad enough. Still, I can hear a pin drop now or so it seems compared to how it was before the treatment, so let's hope your "not to be looked forward to event" turns out the same.

Yeah... When the doctor described the procedure, I felt myself get jelly knees and faint. I'm definitely not looking forward to this. The after effects too are not good and I'll be a "bit uncomfortable" as the doctor said for a about 3 weeks afterwards.
The reason for going for the surgery is the eye never completely heals over the way it should and as soon as everything beings to feel normal again, it catches and tears again and starts the process all over again. I can't live 2 to 3 weeks at a time with the apprehension of another flare up so hopefully a one-shot fix is definitely on my list too.
