I know so many thing can be affected, for example your hair. It has been over a year since my last eye exam and I thought maybe I'd go get new glasses/contacts. But the it occurred to me that maybe if I do so now, after the surgery, there might be a change? And maybe I should just stick with my ugly glasses through the time of surgery.
I was searching around the internet on this thought and I didn't find anything exactly like that, but I did find this article, which is kind of disturbing.

I've never heard of this "Controlled Hypotension" thing before, but I'm thinking it helps minimize bleeding? Seems like this is used in fusion surgeries.
I'd appreciate any info, and I'll definitely put it on my list to ask the Dr's.
Another goofy question--who holds onto your glasses? Your spouse/family? I'm not exactly blind as a bat, but I'm sure happier when my glasses are on so I can see.
Thanks,
