I am reading similar questions but hope someone can clarify options for my senior mother.

Referred to private clinic a while ago, doc says she needs surgery and tries to sell her paid ones but of course offers OHIP option. The paid ones show several options with better benefits for each, of course into the 1000s per eye.

My question is she needs both distance and reading glasses. Doing OHIP covered patient has choice to correct one? Like she won't need glasses for driving after surgery, correct? Google/AI's answer is "Standard monofocal intraocular lens" is included.

The doc is one of those very quick barely answering questions one. I understand I can try to take her to better doc or even public clinic but I hope to get the above answer.

Thanks
