Not sure if your doctor has made you aware of this. You will need to decide whether to have better distance vision or reading vision. The intra ocular implant which is inserted after the cataract is removed can give you near perfect vision for one, you will need glasses for the other.
Yesterday at I sold glasses to a customer who had just had cataract surgery, she now needs reading glasses but has perfect distance vision for the first time in her life. She has spent her entire life, and spent thousands of pounds on her glasses. She has had restricted frame choice and ultra thinned lenses due to having a very high complex prescription. |

Good luck, you will be fine. Have had both mine done. The first at 50 and the other one last year.
20 mins of discomfort but so worth it for the results.
Use the drops you are given, they do give comfort.
I'm still a little light sensitive in bright sunlight so have some wrap round sunglasses to hand if we get any sun.
PM me if you want.  |
