I had worn glasses since I was 9 then got the cataract surgery about 5 or 6 yrs ago, when I was 70-ish. I was going to go for the most expensive lens' as it sounded like a great option but in talking with friends who got the least expensive lens' and did fine I decided to go that route. Good thing too as when I went in for the app't to measure for the lens', I told the technician my story and she said it was good that I did that because one of my eyes has a "wrinkle" in the cornea and I'd have not had a good result. I only wear "cheaters" now for reading and have had no issues with my sight otherwise. Currently I'm having my eyes checked, because of a medication I'm on for something else that can affect my sight. So far, with that I'm fine too. ALWAYS be sure to go to an opthalmalogist for your eye checks.
