Actually I was diagnosed at the age of 23, but will have my operation next month.
What implant are you going to have?

I had very minimal sun exposure, it appeared one month after an argon laser for a peripheral retinal hole. In fact i had High myopia, the doctors don't now why it happened to me but they are linking that to my myopia.

All of them (i saw so many) told me that there is no link, but they can't give me the exact cause of my cataract, only that i was high nearsighted and maybe that is the reason.

There is lots of informative posts here in the forums. Take your time deciding which lens to choose and what your preference would be for distance you’d like to see best at.

there are trade offs /compromises with any lens type so it’s best to inform yourself and decide which you’d rather.

Thanks. I'm going to choose either Acrysof or Tecnis ZCB00. Alcon is associated with glistening and Tecnis 1-piece has smaller usable optics. Hard choice.

Sue.An, adamadam is a pilot, and I am intrigued by his previous comment: "I am obliged by law to take a monofocal, other lenses are not allowed (Europe)."

Yes, that's true jantje.
Only monofocals, at least in Europe.

Thank you Sue. As i answered before they are linking it to my myopia (-12 and -16), but in fact no clear reason. It was affecting both eyes. The surgeon has put the B&L Akreos AO set for distance.

Wow! That was hyper-myopia (-12 and -16). After your B&L Akreos AO lenses implants (24 Mars for the first eye and the second the 5 May), what is your current Rx (prescription)? You may want to reach out to "at201" who is very knowledgeable.
So sorry to hear about your ghosting image, due to your young age and larger pupil. Could be wrong choice of lenses.
