I've been meaning to get it done. My mom got it done maybe like 10 or 15 years ago- and she was happy enough with the results. She sees distances fine now, but sometimes needs reading glasses for things up close (she was nearsighted). Most places offer a free consult/exam, so just drop by your local centre and see what they have to say. No idea what it costs now or where you live, but from what I remember it's not cheap, and some insurances don't cover it.
