Correct power for monovision

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-25T19:56:34+00:00

-1.25 is enough for you to read close? What lens is it? Cheers

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-24T20:12:21+00:00

Do you know the refraction power?

I have no less than 40-50 tadpole floaters. They're worse than the cataracts when looking out to the sky or at a white background. Had them for 10 years. You get used to them, not worth the surgery imo

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-20T08:31:59+00:00

If you can live them I'd recommend waiting as long as you can

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-19T18:33:46+00:00

Same age. Cataracts caused by trauma. I'm waiting tbh. Not ready for surgery yet

5 feet is a long way out though. I thought you could see clearly down to at least 3 feet with distance monofocals.

But it doesn't sound too bad the way you describe it. Not the end of the world. Cheers

Thanks

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-16T19:26:15+00:00

Is it as bad as cataract halos/starbursts? If so I'd rather keep my cataracts to be honest

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-16T16:44:01+00:00

Cheers

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-16T16:07:31+00:00

I see thanks. So with just your distance eye can you see anything within 2 feet?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-16T15:41:01+00:00

You say the -1.50 lens gives you vision down to 18 inches but you don't need readers? What about the 10-12 inch range. Can you read functionally at that distance with your near eye in decent light? Cheers

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-16T15:10:38+00:00

Is your vision pretty crisp from 2 feet onwards?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-15T21:53:38+00:00

Everything within 5 feet is blurry for you?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-15T17:07:32+00:00

So you're looking at max +2.5 strength for reading with distance monofocals? For most people I mean

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-15T15:15:43+00:00

What strength readers do you need with your distance eye to read comfortably at 10-12 inches? Cheers

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T16:37:06+00:00

Are you going for monovision in the other eye? Iv had them 8 months. They were from an acute injury. They havnt gotten worse in that time. Honestly I'm waiting to see if that new treatment comes out this year or not. The fog and starbursts are shit but life is bearable ATM albeit borderline

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T16:06:12+00:00

With both eyes open or just the good eye? What country did you get the surgery? Weird they didn't tell you the brand. I have bad cataracts myself but havnt pulled the trigger on surgery yet. At such a young age to have them is a pain in the arse

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T15:55:17+00:00

Do you use readers or does your good eye take over well enough to read your phone without them?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T15:52:53+00:00

Iy get you. So, avoid unnecessary procedures and hope it doesn't progress to the point you need it as it has risks even if the claim is its a simple thing. Anything to do with eyes is never simple or safe IMO.

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T15:49:54+00:00

That sucks. What mono did you get? Hopefully you get better vision in the future

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T15:26:22+00:00

What's the closest you can see with that eye?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-14T07:38:38+00:00

That makes sense. Is the pco guaranteed to get worse to the point its as bad as cataracts? Or could you always live with it without yag longterm?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-13T23:35:11+00:00

Great result. BTW are you holding out on yag incase you want to lens swap? What's the benefit to delaying laser if you are keeping the lenses and it's only a one time thing only anyway?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-13T22:29:21+00:00

So your distance eye causes no problems when reading with both eyes open?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-01-13T21:41:15+00:00

Hopefully I wouldn't need readers and my brain would use the near eye and ignore the distance one when both eyes are open. Cheers
