My wife and I had both eyes done. All surgeries were very easy and resulted in no pain or other problems. The fear and anxiety was much worse than the reality of the procedure. Most of it was done in twilight sleep.

I had fixed lenses installed perfect distance vision, cheaters for reading.

My wife selected Panoptic lenses and had to pay $2,500 per eye. But, for the first time in her life she didn't need glasses for the spectrum of vision, close up or distance. For her it was a choice she fully endorses. Up until then, she was getting progressively more powerful new prescriptions for glasses every 6 mos. She actually reached a point where the optometrist couldn't correct any more.

I had both eyes done two weeks apart a year ago. The first eye went great! However, the second eye did not go as well. Shortly after the second eye procedure I had a detached retina. A no fun surgery! Still dealing with some issues even now. I had no eye issues prior to having cataract surgery.
