My mom had it done awhile ago. I believe they did one eye and after it healed did the 2nd eye. Her surgery was totally paid for between her Medicare and BCBS, I believe. I never asked whether it was surgery or lazer because my brother the Ophthamologist was the person most involved with all issues regarding her eyes. She healed very rapidly but now there’s some “crinkling” and the Ophthamologist has indicated she could have a 2nd procedure to correct this–have let mom and brother decide (I suspect they will leave well enough alone).
