Toric lens. Meant to help correct astigmatism. My husband has that in one eye now. He’s had complications from a previous surgery for a macular pucker, which thankfully has improved very much. He’s still waiting for his 3 month post op appointment that has been rescheduled once already. Doc will likely need to do an adjustment in July or August.

His other eye is just starting to develop a cataract. We think that one will be more straightforward like mine were.

Doc told me I might need readers for sewing, but that hasn’t happened. I think I’m getting to live happily ever after with these multi focal lenses. Yes, mine cost the same as you mentioned, not covered by insurance, but at least the surgery was. To not need to buy glasses ever again is worth it for me.

If you have any questions after your surgery, let me know. I’ll try to help, though I realize every case is quite different. Praying for a fantastic outcome for you!

Thanks! I have a very young, energetic surgeon who has assured me everything will go great - no restrictions except for no water in my eyes and no lifting for a week. He is excited to restore my sight, especially how I see colors.

Off in 10 minutes when my son finishes up his work call - already put in the first set of drops!
