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.

Can you see....to play wordle ? 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.

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.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

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.

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

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.

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

wife just had hers done at brookville. took her about 2 days to see better. after the second eye was done she was back to normal. That was my experience too.

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.
