What kind of lenses did ever one get that have had this done?
Did your doc mention the different types etc ?
multi focal verses mono focal ,standard distance lenses?
Any after effects?
My left eye twitches,and the doc said it would Go Away,I cannot tell what part of the eye has the twitch,but feel it..
I can see I can see,
Stand right there darling ,let me take in the view is what I said the day after the first eye was done.
cannot remember ever seeing such depth,color,contrast and curves,is whut Eye sayud to the pretty lady..
I was legally blind before the sugery,no glasses could bring my eyesight into good enough vision to be legal to drive before.
My lenses are standard distance lenses.I am unsure what that means exactly.....
Seems the eyes do real well,butt at times eyes are slightly blurry.
One man told me he had 4 pair of prescription glsses in one year ,his eyes shifted,or changed.
i will need reading glsses for the small stuff from now on unless thier are more options later.
but I can see to drive,read,most reading done with reading glsses.
I can see the sights an the M1A almost perfectly with either eye,tho left eye is better.
The Ar sights are a little differnt,but can see well enough to shoot,
And I can see the reticle in the 3 different scopes I have purchased off here,before I could not see the reticles.....
Did any ones Doc mention personality types in relation to type of lens.?type A,Type B.
I was told ,TypeA,do not do well at all with a multifocal lense.That would mean,engineers,extreme perfectionists,etc.
They would not do well with a multifocal lens.
Any way I read a whole lot on some different cataract type forums last year before the sugery,and found some info regarding what the doc had told me on the personality connection with the different lenses.
I ask my doc direct ,What happens if the lenses do not work,what is our options,can we remove them and replace them later.?
I swear the doc face ,??????He said,We try to get it right on the first try.
That was all he would say.
I also ask him if he had ever heard of a Lyme disease,cataract connection,?He said no.
I will try and mark and save this thread for reference.
Dr Wang in Nashville did examine me ,and told me I was very young to have a very fast growing case of cataracts,very unusual is how he put it.
My sister drove me out there....
He did not do the surgery tho,.... </div></div>
There are three types of lenses, I went with teh more expensive Toric, because I have an astigmatism (Eye is not perfectly round in the rear). Just came from my one week follow up and I have 20/15. I can see distances perfectly, and can read if its not too fine. Some cheap magnifiesrs let me read anything with out problem.
Before it was like ollking through wax paper. Its been an emotional week...you dont know how much your sight means to you until you lose it. For a couple of days I was just riding around reading street signs.
Aparently, white, fair skined, light hair and eyes, men, are more susceptible to the sun and UV's We also have a higher incidence of skin cancer. A word to the wise to you younger guys.
