Had both eyes done about a month ago.
Medicare covered all except $55 (for some eye drop prescriptions) for basic lenses. The multi-focal kind are more expensive. You may or may not need reading glasses. I didn't because I got one eye slightly nearsighted.
I had Lasik at extra cost to correct astigmatism right after that. That eye still isn't totally stabilized but altogether I have 20-25 vision and almost 20-20 (started with 20-50). Probably will end up with 20-20. I shot 100 birds (Sporting Clays) last week and ran 5 of the 14 stations. Never had done that before.
You should discuss all options with your doctor.
