I had mine done a year ago at Mid Florida Eye. I was told I was not a candidate for the multi-focal lens, so that eliminated that one. I also did not have significant astigmatism, so I did not need the topic lens; in fact the slight astigmatism I had was corrected by the laser. I chose the laser surgery with the distance correction lens. The laser is more accurate is the reason I chose it. I do need reading glasses for close up such as reading or the computer. I do not need glasses for driving, playing golf, working in the yard, etc. I was amazed at the difference in clarity, color, and sharpness of objects and scenery after the surgeries. I can see a golf ball at nearly 200 yards without any glasses. Wife will have hers this year and is choosing the same even though she is a candidate for multi-focal lens. I am totally satisfied with my results. I have to use eye drops daily though due to a dry eye condition.
