My wife chose Crystal lens, had both eyes done and is very satisfied with the results, it's been one year and she is still improving incrementally.

I am waiting for my cataracts to develop to the extent that my medical plan will cover it, which they do at the moment. I had RK (radial keratotomy) fourteen years ago and have been pleased with the improvement in my distance vision. I have worn glasses for nearsightedness since I was about 8 years old and needed thick ones to correct to 20/20 until I went under the knife. My major dissatisfaction with the surgery is that it destroyed my near vision, leading to a necessity to wear reading (and shooting) glasses.

While not quite at that stage, I wear tri-focals with the mid range focal length set for my front sights. Finding the right provider can be a problem, when we lived in IL my optical provider was also a shooter so he understood my needs, haven't found one in TX yet.
