No, you shouldn’t have both eyes done in the same day and most doctors won’t do it. If one eye gets infected or there is a problem, you need to rely on the other eye. You should have someone drive you to and from the clinic. They will give you a mild sedative to relax you for surgery and you won’t be able to drive after. You also won’t be able to lift anything for a couple of week which includes vacuuming.
