I had it done on both eyes...the first in 2003 and the second in 2005. I was almost blind due to the cataract in the first eye I had done. The second wasn't as bad. The surgery went fine and now I have very good vision in both eyes and don't even need to wear glasses.
Luckily I had Blue Cross/Blue Shield premium health insurance at work which paid the entire bill. It was about $8K per eye and that was 10 years ago.
Hope this helps

Why was the bill 8K/EYE. Special implant lenes?
It was just clear acrylic lenses that they implanted. There was no prescription...just clear. Hope this helps Coco! Not sure what the same surgery would cost now days but I bet it is around $10K per eye. Getting old sucks!!!

I was going blind and had to stop making cues.
It was just not cataract surgery but some other problems as well.
I had a total of 7 operations including lens replacement and now can see just as well as I could when I was 17.
For playing pool it is a revelation. Everything is clear as a bell.
Make sure you find the best eye doctor in your area. You can't go back very easily.

Unless something goes wrong you're vision should go to 20/20.
After you heal recheck your your eyes for dominance. Mine changed from right to left.
