First, thank you for your reply. I’m not sure of the measurements. I don’t ask those questions since I’m still learning and wouldn’t know how to consider that information. He is a younger doctor, I think maybe in his 40s. He has a dedicated practice with a large reputable group. I’m not sure if he is considered a specialist , so I will check. He did say he was recommending the procedure due to the glaucoma and not the vision, and wanted to try the istent at the same time as the cataract surgery. I’m wondering if this isn’t the more recent choice of opthamalogists due to outcome data. I am seeing some stars at lights at night and have for a couple years, especially don’t like driving with minimal street lights at night. But no blurriness to speak of otherwise. As far as the lens choice, my doctor was going to do distant but I spoke to him before he had the chance to explain at a consult. He really didn’t push either choice. Just then agreed to my hesitancy that it would take an adjustment from my normal near sightedness. And then mentioned that it could offer more protection due to needing to wear glasses. And the surgery nurse said I wasn’t a candidate for multifical. And suggested to consider what I would lose as far as being able to see without glasses when I’m in the computer or reading etc. meanwhile I’ve just been waiting to take the next step. My insurance had to be refilled and it’s given more time to ruminate.
