I just had my right eye done yesterday (5/18), after having the left eye done a week ago. I was told a year ago that I was a candidate, but waited as I didn't think my vision was that bad then. Wish I'd have done it when first told I was a candidate. It's a world of difference! I didn't realize how bad my vision had become until after I had the surgery. If your doc says you are a candidate and you can tell that your vision could be better, you might want to do it. It's an easy, quick, painless (at least mine was) surgery and the improvement is nothing short of incredible. Mine was out of pocket as the lense also corrects astigmatism and a procedure was done at the same time to prevent pressure from building up in the eye (for prevention of glaucoma). I still need "readers" for close up but distance vision is perfect, and it hasn't been for the last 69 years! Haven't tried night driving yet, so no comment on that. EDIT--it was laser surgery.
