i had cataract surgery in both eyes about one month ago.
My vision is different, not better. I can see close, but everything ten feet or more is blurry. Driving is difficult. The TV is blurry
....From experience , can my vision get better with time or is this as good as it's going to get?

Just to say that I commiserate with having eye problems and the Herpes Zoster/shingles of scalp etc; you are the first person I have heard of with same as I had.
We are in the eye forum so it`s made things complex - The virus started at the end of my spine but the effect upon my eye after taking the first tablet of Actlivar? was dramatic. I had such a stabbing in my eye that I rocked back and forth with the pain; It took several hours for it to calm down.
May I ask? Were you given anything to put on your scalp?

I`m a newbie to the forum. I`m just wondering whether you have had a follow up appointment yet? It`s still early days so it`s a waiting period to see how things settle down. Having said that the eye clinic told me that I could phone in if I was worried about anything - so perhaps give them a ring?
It came as something of a surprise to find things were not as I had expected, I had thought my full vision would be restored (Dysphotopsia aside)
I wasn`t informed that the lens`s would give me good long distance vision and I would need glasses for my near vision which is a complete blur. I`m settling for bi-focal glasses.

I am wondering if they have fitted the wrong lenses in your case, as most people have reported the same as me and not as you have experienced.
I would be tempted to have an eye test as soon as possible so at least to eliminate this possibility.

I just had bikateral cataract surgery with a multifocal lens implant. I can see 20/20 and can read small print without correction for the first time in 15 years.
Sorry you're having problems still.

On $5700US I could send one of my grandchildren to university for 6 months, so why would I want to spend that sort on money on myself?
