Corrective Vision Alternatives

If you have dry eyes, which corrective vision alternative is the best to pursue - Lasik surgery or lens implant surgery. I am 61 years old and currently wear progressive glasses that handle close, medium distance, and long distance. I play a lot of golf and want to be able to see the golf ball in flight. To do so, I wear distance contact lenses 3.0 and 3.5.

What are your goals for refractive surgery?  Are you wanting to reduce your dependence on glasses/contacts?  Or to improve your distance vision for golf?  (I'm wondering if you might be happier with trifocal glasses, which might give you sharper distance vision than your progressives do.)
