I had my first eye done in Dec. and the 2nd last week. I've worn glasses my whole life.

Difference in vision (even though I didn't think I was that bad) is pretty pronounced. Much sharper. I opted for distance lens implant. I've lost very close acuity and need to wear correction for that. This is a monofocal lens that cost me about $3500 per eye as insurance doesn't cover it fully. I am not a candidate for multifocals and I was told it might cause night halos. Surgery was quick, painless and no issue at all.

Ultimately, I'll likely get a prescription for new glasses for close and computer work but be fine for distance. That's pretty cool.

The bad news is that I had a retinal detachment last year and a macular pucker removed, two surgeries. I have left over fluid in one eye that distorts everything. Will need something to fix this, probably another surgery. (I hope soon, this sucks).
