When the cataracts came along 30 years later, the docs said that RK surgery can create some inconsistency in post-cataract eyesight and that I'd likely still need glasses of some kind - which was no big deal to me. But I figured, why pay the extra $$$ if I'm still going to need glasses? My vision without glasses is 20/25, not bad and I'm pleased.
