I think I would absolutely freak out if my vision was just... "lost"

what did this cost you?

$5300 if I remember correctly. I did not pay for it, my mother did.

Does anybody know if you can be fully sedated during this? When I tried to get contacts, as soon as the doctor touched my eye, I passed out. He said it was something called "vesa vega", or at least that's what it sounded like he said.

lol Passed out from trying to put a contact in your eye?

That's a very good question about sedation. I do not know the answer to that. I would imagine that they would not do it as the surgery isn't severe enough to warrant it. Not only that, but most importantly, it's always a risk factor (get the right dose to that you wake up and not die) to sedate a patient and is VERY exensive for the anesthetic.
