Had both of mine done back in the mis-90's. Been to long to remember about any drops but well remember the surgeon kept telling me to kee my eyes open  numerous times. No Idea what type of lens was put in but after about 20 years I had to get glasses to drive. Still read and get on the computer without glasses but can really tell the difference trying to watch TV or drive without them.  Tried bi-focal's  and didn't like them at all for reading or the computer, now I just get single vision for driving. Two pair, one for TV and one for driving, both same Rx
