Do not do what a friend did, opt for the $2200 apiece Panoptix then go home and round bale some hay. Lets just say that he has issues.
I had both eyes done last Aug, Sept. Worst part was the Covid-19 test prior to each surgery. Maybe due to a severe three week case of measles when I was in 3rd grade (even while in a dark room) by the time I was in 5th grade, I needed glasses.
I opted for being able to see distance. After sixty plus years of being able to see close, the change took some getting used to. When I was doing quality control work, my supervisor would tell people that I could find fly dung in a jar of pepper. Those days are gone. I had a pair of safety lense glasses made, clear on top, 2.5 bifocals. With those, I can safely work in my shop or whatever and sit at the computer, etc. I like being able to wear over the counter sunglasses.
My wife's experiance was not quite as good as mine. The numbing solution that they douse your eyes with went down her eye duct and irritated her throat. Right about the time the surgeon had her lense out, she coughed and her iris? or something hemoraged and went forward. If I recall correctly, the surgeon flooded her eye with carbon dioxide or something. Two or three weeks later, they redid it somewhat successfully. Not perfect but not blind. Second time around, the nurse advise her to hold a finger against the tear duct. No issues with the second one.
