Cataract Surgery
My eyes were done about 8 and 10 years ago; I guess the lenses are better now but my ophthalmologist/ surgeon talked me into paying extra and getting short in one eye and long in the other. I started with long in the left I and was very dissatisfied with my vision; I went to another ophthalmologist who felt the regular Medicare paid for lenses were just as good. I went with the medicare lens in my right eye and the Doc cleaned up my left eye with a laser. My eyes currently correct to 20x15 and 20x20 with reading lenses in my trifocals. If I were to do it again I would not have gotten different focal length lenses as the medicare paid for lenses seem to be just as good. At least when my eyes were done the focal length bit was a scam to line the Doctors pockets. I basically see as well as I did at 16 without glasses except for reading.
