Diamond Eye (AcrySof Monofocal)

Eye care
1
Just wanted to mention that my family can see it in certain light. I saw it for the first time today when plucking my eyebrows in a magnifying mirror. It's very freaky and bounces up and down. My son thinks it's cool. I think it's fascinating. But yes, it does look like this (but without the concentric circles):

I can see it my Acrysof Multifocal as well. It’s a bit weird but much better than not being able to see clearly.

wow I have tried and tried but cannot see mine - nor does my family or friends. Wonder if it has to do with eye color?

I was told by my surgeon that it tends to be more obvious in light eyes. I wanted to avoid it in my green eyes, so I went with the Tecnis brand instead.

My daughter saw it in mine. I thought it had to do with the IOL flicker I’ve experienced but I guess not. My eyes are gray.

I also have grey eyes. I could see it REALLY well at one point and saw that it was actually yellow! My son says I look like an alien trying hide among human beings but my eye gives me away! LOL!

Someone mentioned that it is more prominent in the AcrySof brand, which is indeed what I have. It may not be an issue with Symphony. My son now thinks I’m cool, so hey–it’s a perk! HAHA!

I have light eyes, so maybe he’s right.

Truedat.

yes sometimes we have to go with flow - lol. I have light colored blue eyes and do not see it with Symfony. Did use my daughters make up mirror that magnifies everything and still can’t see anything.

I believe it is specific to Alcon lenses.

Hi Ash Mac and all others on this great community resource. This is my first post so please be nice.

Is yours the Alcon SN60WF Monofocal Lens and do you see and perceive ‘Glistening’ as reported elsewhere? Also did you go for Monovision or regular correction?

My ophthalmologist is recommending this lens and does not do Tecnis so it looks like I’ll need a new clinician as I’m leaning heavily towards Tecnis which doesn’t seem to have any reports of these issues! And especially as the new Eyehance with EDOF has just become available here which in a Monovision configuration could give me near vision to around 66cm! :slight_smile:

Anyway, hope it has all worked out OK for you and will for my surgery too in 3 weeks.

Regards,

DD
