Default Eye Surgery
I had Crystal lens (Florence Henderson commercials :-) ) put in around 9 years ago with my cataract surgery. I am not sure if they even use them anymore. it cost me 7k out of pocket as it was a relatively new procedure. Fast forward, I need distance glasses very light usually when driving and reading glasses 1.50. My middle sight is perfect. After surgery my vision was better than perfect. 20/25. I had one eye adjusted for reading and the other eye for distance. I was not happy for about one year after surgery and finally I adjusted (halos, lots of floaters I didn’t have before, retinal problems). That got better as time progressed. Today I am sure the surgery is much better. I was blind before without glasses; now I am not.
