Has anyone had

4. I'm surprised there wasn't a discussion about exactly what kind of lens

would be implanted. I had the choice between one that would allow close-up vision so I'd need glasses for distance, or one that would allow distant vision and I'd need glasses for reading. I chose the latter. I'd already been using reading glasses for many years.

I'm very happy with my choice because I now feel as if I can read small signs on distant hills. I've been nearsighted forever -- couldn't see the blackboard in first grade. Over the 55 or so years of glasses and contact lenses my distant vision was never as wonderful as this.
