Dr. Ireland did both my eyes three months ago with great results using the laser. It is difficult to decide to have both eyes for distance, or one for distance and the other for reading. I previously wore mono-vision contact lenses so my adjusting to mono implants would have worked. However, I decided to go with both for distance and have not been sorry. Driving is much easier and it's no problem to read the car's instruments. I can see so much better at anything beyond my arm's length and I really don't mind using inexpensive reading glasses when required. It is also great to see so well and be able to wear "off-the-shelf" sunglasses. The surgery is totally painless and very quick. Medicare pays for the cataract removal part and the implanted lenses to correct astigmatism were $2,000.00 each. Better to spend on the surgery than go through life buying corrective glasses every year or two in my opinion. Just sorry I waited until now to have it done.
