Seriously I got bifocals in my 50's and spent thousands of dollars as I could not adapt so I got PRK lasix surgury and had the distance corrected to what turned out to be 20/l5. Better than 20/20. I could have had it done for reading only or one eye for reading one for distance but getting used to that is like being drunk as they used a contact like that and I ripped it out as soon as home. What happened was good and bad as I could see imperfections in me and my house and things I'd never seen before but for once I could walk around and not bump into walls as the bifocals and I didn't get along no lines too. I had about l0 pair of prescription ones. Now three years later I'm noticing some blurring I have read that enhancements are needed by older people some early some late I think I need one haven't had my eyes examined for the three years since the surgery. Doesn't hurt at all . One eye at a time. No halos after about two weeks . I think it was $l000 per eye. I was spending more money on bifocals. Best investment I ever made. Seriously consider it as in three years they can do it even easier and probably the price is down. Love Phillipa
