I am looking at having cataract surgery.


I have 3 basic choices:

1) Only replace the lens that corrects for the cataract. I would still need reading and distance glasses do to my high level of astigmatism. Cost about $500.00.

2) Have a special Toric lens put in to correct for the astigmatism and cataract for an additional $2,400.00, total cost $2,900.00. I would still need reading glasses.

3) Go for the whole shot and have Tecnis Multifocal lens put in that would correct all vision problems for an additional $4,400.00, total cost $4,900.00.

None of the above carry any type of guarantee to correct what what they are designed too but they are said to have a +90% success rate.

Anyone ever had any of the above options done and what's you opinion/experience?
