    My vision is beautiful when I'm indoors or for distance during the daytime at night I can't drive every light has the spider web effect over it it's so annoying and glare my doctor said to give it time but he believes it's the bifocal lens but if he takes it out he will put only a regular lens in so that means I'm back to reading glasses which I'm upset over because with this lens my vision is beautiful

      margaret23928 wondering if you surgeon went over the compromise or trade-offs with you with premium lenses.   I too chose them - Symfony in both eyes and have excellent vision / no glasses required but see 20 or do concentric circles around certain  light sources at night.   I had lots of glare and starbursts too in the early weeks but those subsided.  However the concentric circles are due to lens design and won’t diminish over time.  I have adapted and can drive at night but that isn’t the same as them going away.

      If you have great vision all other times and no need for glasses my recommendation would be to leave well enough alone versus a lens exchange. 

      Just my suggestion.
