There is no tremor present when you are under general anesthetic. I had a cataract removed in May. The result was very good, better eyesight than I have had for 40 years. Some PD medications make your lens harder than normal. The surgeon used a general to make sure that the tremor was not present.

Here's hoping I can make this message go through a little easier to read than the last one: Have any of you had experience controlling your tremor during cataract surgery? Please share your experience. I know it is a short surgery (15 to 30 minutes) but my tremor can show up any time unannounced. I am in fear of my body shaking during surgery while she has an instrument in m eye. What did you or your ophthamologist or anesthesiologist do to prevent tragedy? Thank you.
