I am three months out from my cataract surgery and very pleased. The procedures were really nothing. Just took time to dilate my eyes. Felt nothing. I had the lens in my eyes removed with the laser, no big deal, just had to pay for it. My son in law just went to my doctor and had his done. Same thing, procedures nothing, no pain, etc. He is very pleased. I had the toric lenses because of my astigmatism and my corneas are very oddly shaped. He showed us on one of the scans - and said he couldn't get me "glasses free", but I I told him that was never a concern because I've worn glasses since I was 7 and was used to them. After my surgeries I got glasses with readers in the bottom, progressive, and no correction on top. I got my first pair through the eye doctor, very spendy, then went on line and got another pair, for fun, same prescription, 1/6 the price. I can drive without glasses and things are crystal clear.
