I think you want to update your facts.
In many the ophthalmic departments of many UK hospitals they are doing

You say about about the replacement lens being matched to the eye, I'm
not sure what you mean by this, if you are referring to eye colour then
there is no matching to do as the lens is clear, all the colour of the
eye is in the Iris.

I have to take steroids and they can cause early onset cataracts, which in
my case developed very quickly. I was very long-sighted as well, so I had
reached the point where I could hardly see a thing without super-strong
lenses. Driving at night became impossible because of the glare and it was
very difficult to make out floral details when trying to identify plants.

I had both eyes 'done', one in September '11 and the other January '12 and
in both cases I was in, out and back home in less than 3 hours. The
operation itself takes little more than 20 minutes and is completely
painless.

I disagree. Don't forget the needle inserted into your eyeball.
