re: Eye lens replacement

I had mine done about 8-10 years ago. It has been great. I have not had to use readers. I can read very small print. I can hardly read in darker places or incandescent light. However, I read perfectly in LED, fluorescent, or day light. I highly recommend the surgery.

This is identical to my experience - it will be 10 years next Feb.

I had the beginning of cataracts so insurance covered basic cost, but I paid the difference out of pocket for the multifocal lens, which was 2X the cost of the monofocal lens covered by insurance - I paid $5K, out of pocket, for the upgraded lens (both eyes) a decade ago.

I have 20/20 vision, as verified by my annual eye exam this past Jan, both near and at distance, after a lifetime of wearing glasses. As mentioned, reading fine print in subdued, warm temperature light (3000 K) is difficult, but with cooler light temperatures (4000+ K), or in natural daylight, no issue at all.
