I don't see the point of being corrected for distance when I really only need it for driving. I can get glasses for that and just use them then. I am in and around the house 90% of the time and rarely use distance vision. Jenny, the surgeon has told me that monovision - what you have - is also not an option. I have had retina issues, and am extremely near-sighted because my eyeball is very elongated. All this makes me a potential candidate for retinal surgery. I had to have clearance from the retina specialist (which he has given) but both of them say that a single focal length lens is better if I need retinal surgery. Ann, I have worn glasses from age 6 or so. I loved the years when I had contacts and didn't need glasses. I'd like to be able to function?most of the time without glasses which is why I'm considering something other than distance correction. My thought was that if mid-distance includes computer distance and possibly TV, I can function most of the time without glasses and wear cheap readers for really close-up stuff. I may even need magnifiers for that eventually. Lise, thanks for that experience information. I think I have to consider what I do most of the time. I also spoke to my uncle and aunt - who have both had cataract surgery. My uncle had eyes like mine but with no astigmatism. I have very high astigmatism and near-sightedness and now presbyopia is added to the mix. They both wear bifocals all the time because their eyes are corrected for distance. Of course, my uncle's glasses are now much simpler than the ones he used to wear.? On Sun, Oct 30, 2022 at 9:53 AM Ann McManus <mcmanusab@...> wrote:
