The previous poster was right about astigmatism. If you have it, the laser procedure is required to correct it. The people who spent thousands did so to correct their astigmatism and to have an enhanced lens implanted. LakeEye offers three laser choices from $1600 to $3100 per eye. The most expensive is a multi-focal lens which provides correction for both near and far vision. The other two choices are for distance only. I just had my 2nd surgery yesterday and all this was explained in the beginning. I expect to still have glasses when this is all done. The person who got off for only $325 probably chose the Medicare covered lens and the $325 was for the Surgery Center (per eye).
My wife has her eyes done last year and chose the single focal lens, but she had one lens for distance and the other for close-up. Your brain makes the necessary adjustments. She had done this with her contacts for years, but I was told by the Dr that is approach was much more difficult for men than women (don't know why).
