As I am pretty shortsighted I guess I'm going to need to get my specs altered during the time I am waiting to have the other eye done, otherwise lampposts are going to be the least of my problems.

You can just have the lens popped out of your glasses on the side you've had surgery. No sense in getting new lenses until after the eye has settled properly.

There is, IMHO, no alternative. Indeed, the second time, a month later nothing changed.

I'm a wimp of course. Aren't all men?

Not a wimp at all. IMO it's normal to be nervous of having anything done. That's why it's good to do as much research as you can and take as much sedation as they offer.
