I heard that cataract surgery lenses are expensive.

I am afraid of the surgery, but

I heard that the lenses cost as much as a used car

and I can't afford to pay a little bit at a time, so

I cannot afford to have the laser surgery.

The surgery👁 is only on one side.

I am also old enough to have had cataract surgery on both eyes at different times.

I also have Kaiser health insurance and medical facility with Medicare, so both eyes were operated
at Kaiser. Usually the CoPay for internal medicine is around $20, but for major surgery with anesthesia
the CoPay alone is around $250.

The rest is covered by insurance, but I get a report in the mail every 6 months from the insurance processing
which shows that the surgery cost almost $3,000 per eye.


The anesthesia is not a general anesthesia, but only a numbing of the pain points
and the stopping of all voluntary movements, including the focus of the eyeball, so that by the end of the surgery, you are seeing a psychedelic image
that is incomprehensible. You can also hear the sounds of the scalpels and instruments in action.

After the surgery, the patient is put under anesthesia for a few hours to let the treated eye settle, and the next thing you know, there is a post-operative examination
If everything is OK, someone drives you home.


Before the surgery, my doctor asked me what I would do if the surgery could set the focus of my eye.
However, since I am in my late stages of life and have had glaucoma in one eye for a long time, I said I would like to keep the focus setting
the same as before. Therefore, even now, when I drive at night on a road with no street lights,
the headlights of oncoming cars can be blinding, depending on the location.

Double Kin Man, how long ago was the surgery ？

Some of the people I've talked to who regretted the surgery say that the damage started about 4 ， 5 months later, so I'm wondering if it is possible that the damage could occur after a long period of time. I also hear that the recovery of vision will gradually decline again.
