****I specifically had agreed and expected monovision for my cataract operation I now have a focal distance of 80 com I find it impossible to read what can be done
Hi
Sorry you are in this situation, it must be tough to not get what you expected.
With normal monovision you would get far and intermediate distance, and would need glasses for near. Some are lucky to read without glasses with monovision, but most do need glasses.
If your eyes are fully healed and vision is good, but at the wrong distance, it would require further surgery to change what you have.
There are contact lenses on the market, that can give you both far and near vision at the same time, some people can adapt to these and some can not.
And off course glasses can add near vision as well, but I understand this was not what you expected.
I understand glasses or contact lenses is not what you are looking for, sorry I don´t have more pleasant ideas.
sorry you are not happy. i have monovision. my left eye is set for intermediate, right for distance. How was yours set? I notice my vision improved with OTC eye drops and alot of light. I need reader for close. when did you have the surgery?
What was the results of your latest refraction test? How long ago were your surgeries?
If it has been 6 weeks or more ago then likely eyes have healed and you won’t see much change. Were both eyes targeted for plano then and see both the same?
Unfortunately little can be done outside if glasses and contact lenses. You can experiment with that with your optometrist.
The other (riskier) solution would be a lens exchange. Maybe a premium lens in your non dominant eye so that you would see well at all ranges and the monofocal in your dominant eye would mitigate any of the glare and halos from premium lens?
If going that route research a skilled surgeon that specializes in exchanges - not the surgeon who performed your initial surgery.
Wishing you the best. It must be a shock but hopefully your vision is better now than with the cataract.
