Most Refractive places will do a free consult on Refractive Lens Exchange. In my opinion it is worth looking into it. As part of the consult they will check for any potential contra-indications to the procedure (eg. retina problems) to make sure you are a candidate. $10,000 per eye seems expensive. Are you looking to get Multi-focal implants ?

Thank you for responding so quickly!
I’m not sure if I’m interested in multi focal or not. You’ve given me something new to research and think about.
It’s not an emergency and I completely understand the priority for cataracts; do you have any thoughts about joining the ahs queue? Is it a long wait? My mom and mother in law both have had cataract surgery and they are both very happy and especially the difference it has made for them.
Have you heard any feedback from patients on LRE? I’ve worn glasses and/or contacts for 50 years so a bit nervous about messing around with my eyes!
Thanks again for sharing and your time.
