Worse Decision Ever
Posted , 10 users are following.
I received the Pan Optic lenses. I am only 49 and doubting that I actually had cataracts. I did not have a problem with my vision wearing contact lenses. My optometrist referred me to an ophthalmologist that said I had cataracts and charged me $5K for this special lens where I would not need glasses, contacts or readers (even though I was not at the point of needing readers yet). I had my surgery 7/20 and 7/27/21 and 5 months later my vision is still off. I still need contacts and I refuse to now drive at night because of the halos and blurriness. I am terrified to drive at night. I have been to 3 other doctors for opinions and the 1 doctor that is a cornea specialists is advising to not do a replacement. I want the mono lens so I do not have the halos at night. I mid-range vision is off during the day and I still need contacts to correct my far vision. What a mess. I can live with the vision being off but its debilitating to drive (or not I should say) at night. Has anyone experienced this whose Halos have gone away after a year? Will these go away? Do I find a surgeon that will do a replacement?

Sorry to read your post. Sounds like your surgeon was only after the money. They should never recommend surgery if vision is good with glasses or contacts. You may have had beginnings of a cataract but they likely weren't affecting your vision. Did he do them same time?
I would as others have suggested find a top doctor and see about replacement. The halos don't really get better - you do get used to it which is not same thing
beat of luck to you - hope you are able to find a good surgeon for a consult.
