I am scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks for the right eye and the following week for the left and need to pick 1 of 3 options:
a) standard, medicare covers most of cost. Better vision, still need glasses.
b) Toric lens. $3k would still need reading glasses
c) Multifocal lens. $5k. No glasses needed.
Options b and c both include Lasix if needed for any additional corrections.
I've worn glasses for 40+ years. I have progressives now. The thought of no glasses is very appealing. The thought of something working MUCH better in my old age is equally appealing. I can definitely afford this, but have never spent this much on myself. Spent on family yes, but never just for me. Ordinarily I would do the math and go for the standard.
I'm not sure if I'm just looking for confirmation bias to splurge or someone to talk some sense into me. Any opinions, especially from those who have done option C would be greatly appreciated.
