I only know one person who had the surgery and her outcome wasn't the best.
Costs seem to vary quite a bit. My optometrist told me to get only what Medicare pays for: "No extras!"  |
I had my surgery in Columbus, Ohio by Dr. Erdey. I settled on the Crystalens which is an adaptive lens that changes focal length similar to the natural lens. The lenses cost and additional 2600 per eye but I considered that well worth it. I do not need reading glasses. I did have the "defogging" procedure that sometimes develops after the surgery done. Very quick and painless and permanent. The clarity and color changes from before/after were astounding. I've had no issues with the procedure and go back when I visit the kids each year for a followup.
