Mono focus for distance or Mini Mono Vision
Posted , 4 users are following.
65 year old, last 18 years far sighted needing reading glasses. Last 1.5 years or so cataracts worsened to the point of being near sighted. Just had dominant RE corrected for mono focus set to distance 5 days ago.
The corrected RE vision is incredibly clear, sharp past arms length, and white. I didn't realize how bad my cataracts were. LE is worse with limited 20/150 and yellow sepia toned. I can now use my phone without glasses now but this mono vision is temporary and disorienting. For work sitting in front of 2 computer monitors I am using an old pair of progressive bifocals and looking through the top with corrected RE, monitor is sharp, LE is blurry but since RE is dominant it works well as temporary fix.
My question is for my LE, would a mono focus set to intermediate distance or less than full distance be beneficial over another matching fixed distance lens? How would it help? Is it worth considering.? Is it only near intermediate or far?
My current new lens is a Bausch & Lomb AO60 distance set to 18.5D? Not sure of the significance of that or how that plays into my options. Any thoughts and advice?

I need advice on the following;
Since I want a micro/mini monovision, can the amount to pull back the LE monofocus be determined now, 1 week after the RE surgery ?(RE dominant now mono for distance)
I am scheduled for LE next week which is 2 weeks from RE.
I don't want to wait since the LE cataract is worse and I now have full monovision with a color difference.
