Not an answer to your current question, but when people are preparing for cataract surgery I always try to encourage them to get an understanding of diopters and that the target be set in diopters, not vague terms like near, intermediate, or distance. And, to ensure there is no misunderstanding you should ask for a copy of the IOL Calculation sheet, and agree with the surgeon what lens power is being used. It goes a long ways to prevent any confusion as to what is being targeted.
More support here for Ron_AKA's suggestion that anyone preparing for cataract surgery should get target diopters and a copy of the IOL Calculation sheet before proceeding with surgery.
It has been a year since my RE cataract surgery and my vision is worse than it ever was before surgery due to 1) the wrong lens power being selected and inserted for my initial surgery and 2) a promised easy replacement of that lens that led to considerable corneal edema and lasting surgically-induced astigmatism. (I had no astigmatism pre-surgery.)
My ophthalmologist seems to think I should be satisfied with wearing glasses at all times to correct this astigmatism. He has referred me to a contact specialist for a consultation. My astigmatism has decreased from 3.65 to 3.03 over the past several months, but, obviously, that astigmatism is sufficient to guarantee blurry vision at all distances.
Additional surgery carries risks, no matter how confident your surgeon tells you he is is of a successful outcome. Had I done what Ron _AKA suggested in the first place, all this grief and additional expense could have been avoided.
Checking back here to report my vision in the right eye is still poor. I am in the middle of another prednisolone taper (4-3-2-1 with two weeks at each level). I only did one week each previously, and the cornea person wanted me to start all over again. Ditto with hypertonic sodium chloride drops in AM and ointment before bed.
Astigmatism remains to the degree that I can only rarely see clear enough to read or watch TV. No debridement was done as the bullae had resolved by the time of my last visit to the cornea specialist on Dec. 8. It's going on 5 months since the surgery and I'm more or less despairing of getting decent vision in this eye again.
Situations like yours do not track the general post op course. Because of that we can offer other information because it would just be a guess and we don't do that. You will need to get that information from your surgeon
