Please consider Laser treatment if in any doubt ! I had Lens Replacement Surgery two years ago and have not looked back (literally!) This was trickier than just laser treatment because they had to make an incision and replace the lens in each eye. I am the most timid and claustrophobic person you can meet but the procedure was COMPLETELY comfortable and painless and as Indigo says waking up with clear vision (no glasses) is such a miracle of science! Thank you Indigo for writing on this topic and so grateful to Dr Guillem Alonso (Barcelona) for my 20/20 vision returned.
