Bump.

Bodies is quite entertaining. Especially, how well they mange the time shifts.



R.C.

That type of lens is relatively new, though it was available a few years back when I had mine done.

Different brands are labeled in different ways, but the basic term is multifocal. Although the description makes it sound as if it works like bifocal or trifocal glasses, in fact, I don't consciously have to look through a particular part of the lens to see either close-up or distance. From my point of view, it's just like having good vision--to the extent that I can remember that. I started wearing glasses in sixth grade. When I switched to contacts, it was more like having good visions (aside from having to put in the lenses, occasionally use moisturizing drops, and take them out). But in my forties, I started having to wear reading glasses if I had the lenses in. (Eyes tend not to adjust their focus as easily as they get older.) That isn't a problem with the cataract lenses, though. I just look at what I'm looking at, and even if I shift back and forth between close-up and distance, it normally doesn't take time for my eyes to focus properly for what I'm looking at.

Note that multifocal lenses may not be suitable in cases of severe astigmatism. That's because you need a toric lens to correct the astigmatism, and toric lenses aren't yet available in a multifocal form.

Recovery time for the surgery is much less than it used to be. As I recall, my dad took several days to become fully functional after his first cataract surgery. I was pretty close to normal on day 2. Before I had the second one done, my vision was a little odd, but not because of focus. I could see colors somewhat differently in the eye with the cataract lens. (Cataracts can lead to a slightly more yellow tint, which the new lenses naturally fix.)

Cataract lenses in general can have debris accumulate on them over time, but there is a laser procedure that essentially polishes them. It's even easier than the original lens replacement.

So yeah, from a user point of view, multifocal lenses should allow for good vision and feel no different.

Bill - Never before heard of the cataract surgery lens solution you describe.  How does it work/feel from your side of the lens?  Do you, as w/trifocals, have to aim your vision thru a specific part of your new lens to get the viewability you want?
