Janus,
Yes, my vision is very good with my progressive glasses after accepting the compromise with this glasses of course (fuzzy sides vision, neck pain etc.).
I forgot also to mention that I have a amblyopia, my right is real dominant, but I don’t think that this change my clinical situation in regards of a possible RLE.
You asked me if I would accept the situation where I will still need to wear reading glasses.
Well let me say that if this can happen, it could be acceptable for me but only if the rest of sight vision works good.
I know, sometimes is not easy to fully understand how big is the desire to have a life without glasses for a man like me which has always depended on their use.
That said I will never say that you are in wrong, I think you are in right!!!
I shouldn’t accept the risk of a worst post surgery outcome even if this possibility is rare.
But this concept should be extended to all refractive surgeons in general such as lasers (lasik / PRK), these too are not foolproof and in many cases create greater problems for a future appearance of cataract for the calculation of the power of the lens when you will have to replace it.
This is at least what I think I understand, then. I’m not a doctor and maybe I’m in wrong.
About the glare and flare…
Curious thing: yesterday night I realized that I have actually flares and some stars blast with my glasses on, and let me say that if I concentrated on them, I can not say that they were negligible, my brain simply doesn’t consider them … This will probably be because I have always had them not for a year or two, but all my life.
This helped me to better understand the concept of brain adaptation.
