My indonesian friend had both eyes down at one of the better hospitals,she had fatty tissue removed, similar to cataracts.
Unfortunely she was bed ridden,in pain and unable to see properly for 3 weeks.
The procedure was performed on 19 December and she has only just returned to work with both eyes still red.
I'm not sure how long it would be in Australia for the same type of procedure but it does seem a long time to recover.
Good luck but please do your research as our friend wasn't planning on having it done in Bali,had intended going to a specialist in Jakarta but the doctor said "no problem" back at work 2 days and look where it got her!
It would be terrible to spoil a holiday and worse still if anything more sinister happened.
