Refractive Lens Surgery

Perhaps contact lenses leave your eyes sore and uncomfortable and bifocals or varifocals are inconvenient?

Safe

Kills 2 birds with 1 stone

Cataract treatment will not need be needed later on

Both near and distance vision can be corrected at the same time with multifocal and toric lenses - 90-95% of patients report being spectacle independent the majority of the time

Although the distance vision is usually excellent, near vision glasses will be needed from age 45 onwards due to aging

The distance vision is likely to deteriorate later as cataract develops, even in the early stages, meaning that glasses may be needed again

Almost everyone will need cataract surgery later as they get older but after laser surgery the lens calculations are less accurate meaning glasses may well be needed after cataract surgery
