Tell me about cataract surgery.

It won't be any time soon, but I've been told to start thinking about cataract surgery. This is one of the safest and most routine of all surgeries, but there are options to choose, and sometimes things can go wrong. So:

1/ Who's done this? How did it go?

2/ Apparently in addition to standard lenses, there are multifocal lenses that provide near and far images, and the brain learns to choose the sharpest; and lenses that are attached to the eye muscles and adjust for near and far, like a (young) natural lens, but apparently they are more prone to complications. What lens did you choose, and do you like the results?

3/ Apparently an extra-cost option is to use a laser to make the initial incision and dissolve the original lens. Are the results worth the expense?

4/ How long did recovery take?
