I am scheduled for Cataract surgery on my right eye. In this eye I have a severe cataract. My left eye is only showing very early signs of a cataract. I plan to have a mono-focal implant installed, answers from my MD about the multi-focal IOL's gave me the impression that the these are really not were they need to be yet, and that the more guaranteed result is to go Mono. I am 49 and my contact correction is -8.5.
My question, to those who have had the procedure that mirrors what I will undergo is:
How is your vision post the surgery with a contact in one eye and an implant in the other, assuming good distance vision with the implant? What should I expect? Can and will I be able to see clearly without to much of a problem?
I need reading glasses with my contacts now, and will need them after. How is that working out. I read quite a bit and am worried that this will be a problem. Will I need another implant,even if my eye is not bad in the left, just to balance me out? Thanks
