I paid some extra for toric lens to correct astigmatism and for the femtosecond laser cataract surgery (no knife).
I think all together about 8K.
Both my eyecare doc and the surgeon recommended the lazer due to the shape of my cornea. I guess I had a higher chance of complications with the blade method. The surgeon told me the laser allows much more precision in placing the new lens as well. I thought it was worth the extra bucks then and still do today.
20/15 distance vision after being nearly blind without thick glasses is a wonderful thing. I used to keep spare glasses in every vehicle just in case.
