Health

And did a bit of research first. There were two methods- a traditional method, and a fancy laser method. You could get a standard lens, or you could get premium corrective lenses. I needed my medicare and my local insurance to pay for it all, and they would only pay for the traditional method w/the standard lens.
I'm glad it turned out this way. I had both eyes done over the course of two weeks, it wasn't fun, but it wasn't that bad. It was like getting brand news eyes. My vision went from bad to stunning. My out of pocket cost was "$0".
My advice: Traditional method.
Standard lens.
Live in a state where good insurance is available.
Good luck.
