I am 28yo with the beginnings of a cataract in one eye. I am not excited by the prospect of needing reading glasses, but I don't want the reduced clarity or problems of current multifocal iols. My eye length is about 29mm, and I am very myopic with about 19.0D of correction before spherical rgp contacts with about 2.0-3.0D of astigmatism. I spend most of my day working at a computer. Currently neither glasses or contacts are providing a very good solution right now.
My doctor is recommending monofocals, possibly a toric. He says he can do the multifocals and accommodative, but they lack same clarity of a monofocal, aren't great for reading all day long, and are more of an excuse to charge more.
My question is, is it worth waiting for something like Visiogen's Synchrony Dual-Optic or Kellan's TetraFlex? Has anyone had any experience with these, or the new Crystalens 5-0? Do they sacrifice some clarity compared with monofocals?
Or am I overreacting to life with reading glasses? I can't really do a trial run of monovision before surgery so any experiences with that could be helpful too...
