Had both eyes done and there is a thread in the Health forum about my experience.

But I will address you specific lens question here. I went with the standard distance correction lens for both eyes. The expensive lens that helps with near and far is a compromise and does not does not do a real good job on either distance. At least that is the way my Dr explained it to me. I had been seeing him for years and I trusted his opinion.

What I was really surprised about was the improvement I got in near vision with the standard far distance lens. My surgery was in 2020 and I have not worn glasses since. I do need a little help on occasion in low light, small print but my vision still checks 20/20 without correction.

After recent visit to optometrist I learned that cataract had progressed and corrective lens would not sharpen up vision so the next option is surgery. Has any one had the surgery and what type of lens did you opt for? My research on the surgery indicated that you could elect to have vision corrected for distance but would need reading glasses for close work. There is another optional lens that corrects for near and far vision, at additional cost of course. Looking for some first hand experience. Thanks
