As promised, I'm reporting in on my recent IOL replacement surgery: From Vivity to Rayner EMV.
I'm coming up for three weeks after the first replacement with the Rayner EMV, so early days. But so far, I'm over the moon. Mostly. My eye is roughly plano (still a little post-op swelling). Intermediate vision is not as good as I hoped. Down around arms length to a bit over 1m everything is clear, but reading large text difficult, small impossible. However, anything over 1m is stunningly clear and crisp.
Car dashboard and instruments are workable with the Rayner eye. Not crisp, but readable.
At the moment I still have one Vivity lense, which allows accurate comparison comparison with the Rayner EMV.
In bright sunlight outdoors the Rayner's distance vision quality is just a bit better than Vivity, but indoors, night, cloudy conditions the Rayner is astoundingly better. One example: Two days after surgery (so eye still swollen) I looked at the night sky. With the Vivity eye I could see only a few stars - only the brightest in the sky. With the Rayner eye I could see way more stars. Another - walking into a shopping centre the Rayner eye was crisp and clear, the Vivity eye was dull and blurry - like looking through smoke or fog.
Night glare and halos are mostly eliminated with the Rayner - I see clear, crisp points of light, unlike the Vivity's massive halo of spikes. The brightest car headlights still glare with the Rayner, but most are OK. I can now drive at night again.
Overall I'm over the moon. My final Vivity to Rayner EMV IOL replacement is due Monday 11th September. Fingers crossed all my vision issues are then resolved.
