I had Alcon IOL implants, both eyes, last year, different surgeons for Left and Right eyes due to first surgeon breaking his arm. It was to be mini-monovision, 50D Right eye for Distance, 1.50 Left Eye for computer and reading except for tiny print. The surgeon refused to use higher than 1.50 and since many folks have been mostly glasses-free with 1.50, I agreed. I was informed immediately that the result for the Right eye was referred to as a .25D refraction or Plano. But it took almost a year of follow visits with both surgeons, phone messages, 2 letters, and finally a "second opinion" consult with a third surgeon before I got the Refraction Result for the Left eye, which was .50 -- a much greater a difference than the 1.50 hoped for, and so, of course I need reading glasses for normal print, even beyond arm's length. My QUESTION, which I neglected to ask any of the surgeons, is whether it is common for a 1.50 IOL to result in only .50? Or is it more likely that I received less than a 1.50 IOL? Thank you.
