Cataracts Treatment Care

I have a medical background and I suppose knowing too much can be a bad thing! I have a cataract in both eyes. The one in my right eye is BAD. The surgeon said it is “The worst I’ve seen in the civilized world.” The one in the left eye is getting worse seemingly by the day. I have no real vision in my right eye except for lights and motion. They are using Versed and fentanyl for “sedation.” I’ve neen on alprazolam and hydrocodone for years and, obviously, developed tolerances. Yes, I listed the meds on the surgery form. I was told it’s okay to be on these and still receive the IV sedation. Any opinions? Also, anyone ever had this procedure? I’m on pre-op drops (antibiotic & antiinflammatory). Any words of encouragement would be great! Thanks.
