[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3306510, member: 7900"] I posted about my experience in the early part of that other thread, but here's an update. When I had mine done in 2013, all I did then was get two pairs of glasses, but have rarely needed them. One pair is purely single vision with one eye being close focus and the other begin long focus. Those are my shooting glasses. The other pair are bifocals, with the same prescription in both as with the shooting glasses for the distance vision. I recently went in for an examination and both the optometrist and his assistant were amazed at how good my vision was, even after 6 years. I rarely ever wear either of my glasses, and when I do, it is for shooting or for seeing street name signs when driving at night. In my case, Medicare paid for the surgery (if I remember right), but I had to pay out of pocket for the two different lenses that were the replacement for what God gave me. All in all, even with that cost, I'm extremely pleased with my vision. After my surgery, I did have to suspend driving for two months. The wife hated that because I'm a terrible "back seat driver." In that two months, I had a number of appointments (every two weeks, I think) with my regular optometrist, who examined things and after the two months, that is when he did the prescriptions for the two pairs of glasses. While I do carry reading glasses pretty much all the time, the only time I have to use them is for really small print in non-ideal lighting. At my last appointment, the doctor's assistant handed me the "card" to read in checking my reading ability. I was able to read the smallest print without any glasses. [/QUOTE]
