I had my annual eye exam, yesterday, and my cataracts have advanced to the point that doc wants to remove them, and install new lens.....the standard operation and lens replacement are covered by Medicare, but he said if I no longer want to wear glasses, and to correct my astigmatism, then he recommends the premium Toric iol lens, which will be an additional $950 per eye out-of-pocket expense to me because it is not covered by Medicare.....I've talked to several folks, and nearly everyone recommends, ponying up for the premium Toric iol lens.
Any advice from any of you guys with first-hand knowledge about this surgery and/or the lens options???
Thanks
