I’ve been told I need cataracts removed and intraocular lenses inserted in both eyes. Have Medicare. Anyone have advice on what questions to ask the doc, laser versus incision, whether the procedure can correct astigmatism? What about reading vision? Any advice gratefully received.
Medicare covers the Standard (usually distance) Fixed Lens replacement.
There are advanced Lenses now available that simulate the movements of your Natural Lens, but you have to pay out of pocket for the additional cost.
If you need both Eyes done, they usually do the “worst” Eye first. Never have both Eyes done at the same time. My Cataract Surgeries were done two Months apart.
Go with the laser. Even Dr. Nick Riviera could do it.
