I have been having trouble driving at night because of excessive glare. I also suspect that my overall vision has declined, although I had an Optometrist exam in the last few weeks and everything was fine with no changes. I do feel that colors seem dull but that is very subjective, so maybe not. In any event, I went to an Ophthalmologist and had a thorough exam done. He confirmed that I have cataracts and there is no middle ground. I should have them removed right away before they get worse. Told me cataracts are rated from good to bad 1-5 and I am at 4, so it's a go. I feel that my eyesight is declining fast. My confusion is with the options he offered me. He said I am not a candidate for PanOptix multifocus. He then offered me a "Premium" lens called Softec HD, which he highly recommended. Cost is $3,600 per for total of $7,200. Also recommended laser assist at $1,625 per for $3,250. Total of $10,450. Also offered Economy (enhanced) at only $1,600 per or basic at no cost, with my Medicare and Blue Cross supplemental. Told me I should not wait. I don't understand the difference between the three options. I especially don't understand what the enhanced economy lens would do for me. I also want to know if I opt for the basic, will I be able to correct my vision to what I have now, wearing bifocal glasses. If I did not have to have CS, I would not spend $10,000 to have Lasix at this point and not wear glasses, why would I spend that to not wear glasses after CS? Sorry for the lengthy post but I need help. By the way, I have the $10,000, I just don't want additional complications. Thank you all!
