I'm scheduled for left eye on Tuesday and the right the following Tuesday. I am so nerved up

Thank you very much for caring. We'll chat soon, I'll fill you in

How was your surgery? Mine went well. Can read well with the new lens. Dr visit this morning all is well there, also. A little blurry, scratchy yesterday but nothing today. Also, Nancy, are you from Michigan? I am.

Victoria - you mentioned you got mono lenses for near. Would be interested if you can also see intermediate well and if you then just need glasses for distance.

I have thought about doing that too rather than Symfony lenses as I really don't want to lose my near vision. Even with cataracts my near vision still

Ok.My surgeon mentioned most chose mini for distance. Didn't get the impression he thought I should go with mono set for near - better getting them for distance.

Thanks for your input.

Yes, I am so thankful I went this route. I do mostly reading and computer and it's great. My left eye will never be good no matter what because of a macular pucker. I have a distance lens in it, but it really isn't too good for that. I bought a pair of readers at the dollar store, the strength my Dr said he would use. Since I had my left eye done already, I pushed out that lens and wore the glasses for a couple of weeks to see how it worked. I'd do it over again in a heartbeat. Try using a cheap pair of readers to see how you like it.

It would be difficult for me to try that out as I do not need readers for near. That is why I thought monofocals set for near would give me what I have now. It is difficult for me to contemplate losing my near vision if I go with a monofocal set for distance (I do not think monovision is something I could get used to and that too I cannot test out as I have cataracts in both eyes.)

Then there is the Symfony lens which interests me - but then there is no guarantee I can see past the glare and halos. This is a troublesome decision with no way of knowing what outcome will be. The more I read the more confused I am.
