Had an eye doc visit today. My vision is going to chit, only 47. Lasik not an option ..

Suggested RLE, but it's prisey.

Anyone had it done?

I’ve had both eyes done. First one five years ago, then the other recently. Easy procedure and my vision is now 20-10. I popped for the multi-focal lenses. They are awesome!

That's what I'm aiming for. I used to have 20/10 up to about 5 years ago... Having degraded vision so much so fast as it become is crippling visually as well as kinda mentally...

The price of it is out there for me. Docs in Az think everyone lives on a Cali budget when we really make Kentuky wages... Just trying to get opinions...

I sincerely sympathize with you. The transition from perfect vision (20/10) to a sudden deterioration is extremely stressful for the mind. When the world around you suddenly loses its clarity, it causes intense anxiety, panic, and a feeling of helplessness. Your feelings are completely justified, and you have every right to be angry about the situation, including the gap between medical costs in Arizona and your actual income.
 
In the same boat, late 40's up close vision sucks and have to wear reading glasses. I need to start calling around and get a consultation, im tired of not seeing while working in the garage.
