I had mine done in 2014. It corrected from worse than 20/400 to 20/20. Over 10 years it’s not as good for far vision but still fine, but reading is much worse. I wear glasses with progressive lenses to correct for reading and to make distance a little clearer.

But I’m very happy after being blind-ish since first grade.

I'm 71 years old, and have had cataract surgery for both eyes this year. At worst, I'm 20-30 in both eyes, I'll wear readers when working, or at the computer. Being able to see that magnificent full moon last week was exhilarating!!!

It took nearly two years to get the first surgery done, as there were complications from shingles a few years back. Some of it worked its way into my retina, but I have a great doctor, and we got it cleared up.

I don't know what lenses were used, but they were an upgrade from the standard lenses. Don't regret paying $800 each for both lenses...my bonus at work covered the cost.

I now feel comfortable driving at night, too.
