Ms. Mojica, could you tell us about your experience today? How did you find everything today? During the operation itself, I felt of course a bit nervous because it's operation, isn't it? Everybody has a normal feeling, but after when they started doing the proper operation, I felt that I'm in good hands because they're all professionals and I've been told that it's one of the consultant who did the operation itself and during the procedure process, the operation process, I felt more relaxed towards the end. So it was good. Now I'm here. I feel okay. And they said, they assured me that you'll have a better eye tomorrow morning. Very good. And is there any advice or information you would give to any future patient who's going to have the same operation? procedure. Just trust your doctors, they know what they're doing. Yeah.
