I am 3 days post surgery and, so far, have pretty good results with this implant. I was already used to mono-vision due to cataract surgery in my left eye 16 years ago. I have been dealing with a short distance implant in that eye and correcting my right eye for distance vision for 16 years with decent but imperfect results. My surgeon advised that I was a better than average candidate for this multifocal lens because my brain was already trained to wirk together with different vision in each eye so I now have the PanOptix lens in my right eye and a short distance mono-vision lens in my left eye. My near vision is already better than it has been fir years. I can now read my phone and menus and the like. For many years I was used to taking the contact lens out of my right eye in order to be able to read. My distance vision is improving. My surgeon had to give me an extra eye drop and meds during surgery to stabilize the pressure in my eye. That is causing my pupil to be very, very small and not letting in much light. As that wears off my distance vision improves. Also, my surgeon corrected my slight astigmatism during the cataract surgery. I have noticed halos at night but have not been driving yet. I am waiting until my pupil is a normal size before i drive. I am hopeful that will improve with time. I can now watch TV with out glasses or contacts for the first time in 40 years. That distance is 6-10 feet.
You are in the early days. I would wait until 8 weeks to be sure everything has settled down. But, it sounds like you have a good solution in the works.
Sounds like you have great results angie. Hoping things just get better and better for you with time. I wore glasses since childhood so remember well those early weeks reaching for glasses on my night stand before thinking and realizing I didn’t need them to see the time any more. Awesome feeling.
