Had both of mine done last June, 2 weeks apart. Medicare won't pay for both to be done at the same time. Go figure as it causes Anesthetist to bill twice and the use of the operating room to bill twice. I had the antibiotic put in the lens at the time of the surgery, eliminated need for me to remember them. Only down side to that is for 2-3 days I had what looked like a spider crawling around in my eye. Absolutely no pain whatsoever. I have to use 2.0 reading glasses but 20-20 at a distance is worth it. I was using contacts before and beyond the cost, I had recurring eye infections. Now, all is good.
