Cataracts: What can I expect? How to prepare?

I’m shocked by the difference in the cost between the traditional surgery, the doctor described it as messy and uncomfortable and laser being easier and less problematic. To be honest I would prefer laser, I’ve had numerous surgeries using laser but it’s truly expensive and you still have to pay for your lenses. This is a part of our healthcare in 🇨🇦.

I seen hundreds of videos of conventional cataract surgery - no biggie, certainly not messy, nor was I uncomfortable with mine - nor is the outcome any different between the two types. Doctors do, however, make a lot more on the surgeries using laser devices - and more surgeries help them amortize the cost of the laser device itself.
