I am a 48 year old male, who elected to have ReSTOR and ReZoom done together in June 2008. Here are the particulars: Left eye (ReSTOR) model SA60D3, 21.5D, OT 13.0mm, OB 6.omm. Right eye (ReZoom) model NXG1, 21.5D, OT 13mm, OB 6mm.
I, like many other threads I have researched, am really upset at the halo problems associated with the implants. I feel that the surgeon I went to did not do an acceptable job of telling about these side effects. Having to live the rest of my life with these halos is not a comforting thought.
The ReSTOR implant gives a pinpoint glare at night, which I think is bearable. My beef is with the ReZoom lens, which gives me a fuzzy, thick halo, day and night, around any point of light, being a bulb, light fixture, reflection, or computer screen. This impacts me during the day by causing almost doubleDouble-tussin dm vision at distance in the ReZoom eye, and just extremely noticable thick halos at night, to the point where depth perception is impossible. I am also right eye dominant, so this is doubly troubling for me.
After almost a year, now the surgeon has me on RestasisRestasis, but I see no improvement by using this.
So my question is, are glasses a possibility for using at nighttime to correctCorrect (new formula) the halo problem so that driving is not so harrowing?
