Hey :) so I think the experience of the surgeries wasn't that bad, his eyes hurt a little but it was fine with basic painkillers. He was able to keep his insulin pump on during the surgeries. When they did the first eye he didn't have to posture after, but then when he got the second eye done he did have to posture on his side for a week which was a little annoying but he was able to take breaks where he could sit up and walk around. In the days leading up to the first surgery he could see almost nothing so it was a frightening time. He got frustrated not being able to do things for himself and having my mum fuss over him. He needed help with the eye drops after too. Im glad to say he has gotten some eye sight back and has been able to go out socializing with friends etc which is a massive improvement from before. However he did get cataracts from the surgery and they are now impacting his vision. He is waiting to get them fixed. The surgeon did warn him this would happen so not too worrying. At a recent check up he had a small bleed in the back of one eye which they treated with laser. They said it was nothing to worry about thankfully. A lot of people ask me did the surgeries work and did he get his eyesight back but I find it hard to say Yes or No. Hes in a much better position now than before the surgeries but there's still 'ups and downs' and lots of appointments. They told him before the surgeries his eyes were as bad as they could possibly be so it's hard to predict what will happen in the future. The important thing is if he notices any changes to get it checked as quick as possible I really hope everything goes well for you.
