For a cataract surgery, multi-focal lens are available to choose which cost a lot more than mono-focal lens, patients pay out of pocket about $3500 ~5000 per eye by themselves, while Mono-focal lens are usually covered by insurance plan. if you choose mono- focal lens you either go with nearsighted focus, or farsighted focus, I chose nearsighted focus, so my off glasses reading is clearer than before; however, the far and intermediate visions are unchanged or even worse. Many people are not aware of the side effects of cataract surgery unfortunately, part of the reasons, I think is that the benefits of cataract surgery are publicized more than the side effects; two biggest side effects I think are dry eyes and floaters etc. I have developed floaters short after the surgery. The doctor said the surgery expedites the aging of vitreous body by liquidating which would cause floaters. Floaters currently are no cure. So just be mindful and do your own “due diligence”of research before do cataract surgery😊
