You mention (more cost, more risks). The costs I will have to live with, but what are the added risks?

Thank you again, I really appreciate your advice.

I have cataracts that must be operated on.  Then I will need lasiks because I have a astigmatism (I see triple)

Thank you very much,

The crystalens is the most successful of the multifocal IOLs available in the USA. You still need to decide if stepping up to a "premium" (more cost, more risks) is worthwhile.
