If so, how did you like it?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

LOL, I have to blow things up to about 150% and use a magnifying glass. I had the procedure done today on my right eye, in two weeks they will do the left eye. The eye was highly irritated after the procedure, but feels much better now. It may take a few days for the vision to improve, we shall see, I hope.

I had the old method and standard replacement lens and got excellent results.

Twice for me. It's like taking off a pair of dirty sunglasses.

Millions have had it. I take Flomax so my eyes don’t dial ate well. Couldn’t use the laser, which saved about $300 in license fees.

My lens are Torex. Wife is getting hers this summer and she will get a lens that can be adjusted with light beams until vision is perfect.

I don’t need read g glasses but most patients do need them.

My sister who is 80 years old had it. She says she hadn't been able to see that good since she was 14 years old.

Have both eyes done the end of last year. I had the multi focal lens put in, don't need glasses to read or drive; took a little while to accumulate to. Happy with the results.

Yes, make sure you go back a year later and tell them you need the lenses polished. You will never need glasses again.

One day down and I have not noticed a difference, how long does it take to see better after the surgery?

As I recall, my night vision never got better until after I had the second eye done. Then it made a huge difference. On coming headlights no longer had bright halos around them and gold signs weren't blinding. Had mine done about seven years ago and eyes still work fine. I still need cheaters to read because I didn't go for the multi purpose lenses.


More and more when I go anywhere I find myself keeping track of where the nearest rest room is.

My improved vision was immediate following the surgery.

I had lens replacement surgery on Both eyes. I noticed the improvement as soon as the dilation wore off.

my dad has had both eyes, as has his cousin and aunt

his cousin had probably waited too long , he was really seeing all the things he hadn't seen in a while, while had been putting off the surgery


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
