Did you in fact ask this?
Oh yes, it came up when we were discussing options for the surgery.
I suffered an unusual form of cataract which was causing triple vision so normal options were not available and they didn't believe laser surgery could correct this.
So they went with the remove and replace option. They did offer me the option of putting in a varifocal lens right into the eye so ideally I supposedly wouldn't need glasses afterwards as well. I felt that my eyesight would still degrade over time, my many years of working with books catching up with me, so preferred the option of keeping the glasses as they would be easier to change out than having to go back under the knife to upgrade the internal lens.
At that point I did ask the doc if there was any low light option or maybe even something to see infrared with. He gave me a funny look and said that was unfortunately not available.
The best part was the doc said I could choose to be completely awake for this and would just numb the area during the surgery.
Now you have to understand I have trouble even putting contacts in and blink at really loud sounds (which made my short time in band as a drummer very amusing to watch) due to a few quirks and sensitivities, plus also a number of the normal topical/local anaesthetics don't always work on me very well.
At which point I said, nope I want to be under and informed them in no uncertain terms that there was no way they were going to lift the cornea, shatter the lens, suction it out and insert a new lens into the eye without me potentially punching someone out of reflex.
At which point the Doc agreed maybe putting me under would be the better option.
But back on topic.
It is a shame GF has been cut, only caught an episode or two and it seemed alright.
Now with it being Disney does that mean they will or won't release it for general sales on DVD or will it go into their vault for periodic sales?
