Question:
Has anybody had their cataracts fixed by implanting a multifocal lens
(IOL) rather than the traditional monofocal lenses?
If so, how do you like them?
Answer:
I am 40 and developed cataracts very rapidly over the last summer. My right
eye went from no cataract symptoms in May to correctable to no better than
20/100 in July. My left eye has remained mostly unchanged with only slight
cataract symptoms. I was very concerned about my close vision because I am a
computer programmer and do a lot of reading both on and off screen. When I
looked into the Array Multifocal IOL, I was somewhat put off by all of the
potential side effects and possible visual anomalies. Still, the lure of
both close and far vision was too powerful and I elected to have the Array
Multifocal IOL anyway.
