Medicare will cover the entire cost of cataract surgery if needed, your vision must be below a certain level.
The basic lens will be free, but if you want a fancier lens that will allow you to not need glasses, those lenses
are around $2,000 extra, you pay.
I just had one eye done on Nov. 10th.  Healing more each day, so within 30 days I hope it is fully healed.
