I had it done 5 years ago because I didn’t want to wait until it got bad enough for insurance to pay. Which I would have been nearly blind. $10k. But I no longer need the bifocal glasses that I didn’t like.
It’s the freakiest thing I’ve ever experienced. I have a phobia about anything around my eyes and sticking a needle in your eyeball while you are awake and can see it, is about as bad as it gets. Totally painless and quick but I was crawling out of my skin. Especially the second eye. Now I’ve developed a case of secondary cataracts that bothers me a little driving at night. But I’m still 20/20 and don’t need cheaters. I wish you luck.
