My brother just had both eyes done. He had just the start of cataracts but had it done as a elective surgery. Cost him 6 grand a eye but there are some new lense out there, that gave him 20/20 in both eyes. The only time he needs glasses now is for mid range like reading a computer. Close in and Distance are near perfect now. He also said he noticed things like white is really white not kind of yellow and the glass panes in the windows are actually completely clear. His eyes needed a lot of correction before the surgery. He is stoked as I am sure you will be OLD GUY! Now if someone would give me 12k I would have the same thing done!
