Hi there,
My father recently had a multi-focal lens implant (ReSTOR) in his left eye. It's been approximately 3 weeks and he has ghosting (or at least I think it's ghosting) - he cannot see crisply at near or far distances. Past a certain distance, everything is very blurry.
My question is whether this blurriness will likely get much better in the next two months. His doctor is saying that a certain amount of blurriness/ghosting is inevitable with a multi-focal lens - is this accurate?
Also, I've read a lot about the tradeoffs between monofocal and multifocal lenses. Is it generally true that a monofocal lens typically requires a corrective lens (glasses) in order to see 20/20 again, but that such restoration to 20/20 vision is much more possible when using a monofocal lens than a multifocal lens?
We're basically just very worried that this blurriness/ghosting will never completely go away. He's relying very heavily on his right eye to see properly at this moment.
Thank you so much for any help here.
Regards,
JOW
