Apple User225599100 :

But don’t you run into the side effect that you can have dry eyes or the issue with people horn just like you were if you had Lasik because you’re cutting cornea? What do you consider medium astigmatism? Do you get the exact correction for stigmatism because sometimes with glasses all of the floors when you look down, our slanted prescription is not exactly correct

I’ve been recommended a monofocal plus lens as a (mild) keratoconic patient. Do you think I need to be concerned about visual side effects?

Sadly Medicare doesn't cover that and it's very expensive

How about Ophthalmologist, they don’t tell patients they have an astigmatism as they don’t talk to the patients in general, or are incapable of accurately correcting it with either glasses or contacts. They only mention it if they want to charge for the more expensive cataract surgery options. Be ware of the sales pitch. Such blatant bias and fear selling.!!!
