My other option is to go mono with the standard lenses covered by medicare. Mono being one eye for distance and one eye for reading......which I have had in the past when younger with lasik surgery.

Just completed second eye today(first 1/31) with multifocal at Lake Eye. looks good so far but will take about 30 days to know for sure. Will post then.
