I was going to post that <fume>

Yes I was also going to post that

It's nice when a plot comes together

Wow, they never warned us about that.

Mother was offered it, at the time she was told they'd need to keep
ger in for observation for a hour afterwards - and since we'd already
been there half a day and she was supposed to be back in a couple of
months we postponed it.

As it goes, when we went back we were there for even longer, the
ratina specialist did it himself (everyoen else had buggered off home
by then) and let us go straight home afterwards.

Absolutely NO problems and the effect on her vision was outstanding, I
thought the theory behind the wavelength chosen was that it only
zapped the back of the lens and did not affect the retina or other
structures further back

AFAICR the only thing we were warned was that it may not be successful
and may need repeating if it didn't blat a big enough hole in the
tissue first time

Our local guy uses a scanner with such a powerful flash they no longer
bother with the drops (and being digital he can see instantly if the
photo is not good enough and redo it as soon as the iris has
re-expanded) the downside is that you can hardly see anything let
alone the amazing photos for several minutes but it does wear off much
quicker than the drops

I dunno what they used on mother last time but orange crud was oozing
out of her eyes for about three days

And no I haven't congratulated you on your results because I'm jealous
