I think there is ongoing research into improving the replacement lenses.

When my husband went for the second eye to be done, with the time lapse being only March to July the same surgeon used a newly introduced type of lens for the second eye.

He also used a different approach - but that might be due to his handedness rather than a different technique of insertion.

I'm not at all sure how the British Health service compares with the rest of the First World in cataract surgery, but he certainly had no complaints about his care before during and after the two operations, and he is pleased with the results. He still uses glasses for close focus, but no longer wears glasses for driving and everyday living.
