Hello
In a few weeks I am going to have laser surgery to "tack down" a few areas in my eye which are showing lattice degeneration.
I understand the surgery is pretty simple and very low risk. I also understand that I will experience 15 minutes of "flash blindness" after having it. The doctor does not want me to drive myself home especially given that I only have one eye (the other one is blind).
If I drive myself there but have a friend pick me up to go to dinner, will I be able to drive myself home 3-4-5 hours after the surgery? Will I even feel like having dinner - I doubt there will be pain but there might be some discomfort. Or even dinner and a movie with my friends, and then drive myself home? It would be dark by the time I drove myself home either way.
The doctor is roughly 25 miles from my home, and I'd definitely want to avoid rush hour.
Thanks
