Laser Or Lens Implants?

[anaxcrosswords]

Am thinking about getting my eyes done. General vision is OK, just a struggle reading small print. But can’t decide between laser correction or lens implants; at 50+ do I need to consider permanency? Also, what about relative costs, and are the High St names as good as private in terms of cost/quality?

I had LASIK treatment for my myopia just after I was 40 and my surgeon pointed out (before I had decided to go ahead) that I would be needing glasses for age related presbyopia within 10 years or so and indeed I do. At the time (things may have changed) laser treatment was not suitable for age related long sightedness as in general the prescription continues to change.
