My private surgeon was quoting well under that. 6 weeks post op on both eyes and it’s slightly weird not needing glasses (unless I have small print in a book) as he fixed the cataracts and the astigmatism due to the more expensive than standard lens implants.
Just a pity there wasn’t a option to have HUD display built into the new lenses
