I know several people who have gotten implants. They could see 20/20 but couldn't read anything. Especially frustrating if you were always near-sighted.
A friend recently got the bifocal implants. One eye healed very quickly but 2 months later he still has one that isn't doing well.
I can't afford it. Only have Medicare A & B which pays for nothing.

Mine have 7 levels of vision, so I can truly see up close, medium, and far (driving) distances. My doctor recommended having the surgeries done a week apart. I feel very blessed; my ophthalmologist is a very knowledgeable doctor, and an equally skilled surgeon. My husband doesn’t qualify for the surgery yet, but I’m hoping he does sometime before our doctor retires in just a few short years.
