deirdra March 14, 2022 Share March 14, 2022 Gramto6, you shouldn't feel any pain, but one thing to do is ask the Drs to talk you through what they are doing. When some equipment is brought right down to your eye it can make everything go dark temporarily, which is not scary if you know what is happening. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/111361-thrive-without-janelle-the-accountability-group/page/22/#findComment-7341945
