Is it different from IOL?

I am into 3rd year after IOL in one eye, no problems, excellent vision. Take a look, search "phaco---" on Youtube. It is not cheap and requires a few follow ups for payment but very easy procedure.

Lasik cannot be undone and may leave the eye unsuitable for phaco later if you need it. I don't understand the statement about increasing chances for cataracts, since the lens is removed and replaced with plastic.

European friends decided to do it at home because follow-ups and guarantees are included free for life under their insurance.

Yes, your description sounds correct. The earlier people probably meant the other process I didn't have done. I believe it is newer and slightly more risky? Does it have gradually variable focus for far and near ?

Mine is like a cataract operation without slicing the cornea just poking a tube through a tiny hole. The actual process at Optimax took only about 1/2 hour, some weird pressure but no pain, eye patch off the next day with great vision for both reading and distance. Easier than seeing the dentist!
