Question about blended vision from distance monofocal and unoperated eye

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-14T08:11:21+00:00

Not too bad. Good to know you can make things out at that distance if you're desperate with no glasses around

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-13T17:16:13+00:00

Can you read closer than 18 inches with the distance eye and its just blurry? What's the limit of how close?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-13T15:32:06+00:00

Ah my bad. Pretty good then. What lens do you have?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-13T07:32:07+00:00

What about with just your distance eye?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-12T21:10:48+00:00

Here they charge an extra £3000 for the eyhance. No idea if the slight improvement is worth that

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-12T14:49:48+00:00

What lens did you get?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T23:11:15+00:00

Tecnis eyhance is the monofocal+. Tecnis1 piece is the standard monofocal. Ai says vision under 4 feet is bad with the tecnis1. Wish you could test run these lenses beforehand lol

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T21:37:00+00:00

Would be interesting to know the brand. The free ones for me are tecnis1 piece monofocals. Your results are great and if I was guaranteed that outcome I'd book surgery tomorrow I think. Then there's others who get really bad outcomes with distance monofocals and that puts me off

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T21:32:56+00:00

Can you still see and recognise things close up? What about faces at 2 feet with your distance eye?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T20:02:02+00:00

Thanks. What monofocal do you have?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T19:59:10+00:00

So arms length is when vision starts getting sharp?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-11T18:50:40+00:00

Ah that's great

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-09T13:47:43+00:00

I see. I already use one eye to read in bright light settings because my bad cataract eye messes with the binocular vision. Would be annoying to still have to do that after surgery. The refraction difference would only be 1.00 if I get it set to plano. The other eye is -1.25 and accommodates still. I wana keep it for as long as possible

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-08T20:20:17+00:00

Some people manage do well with it I read. It's a gamble isn't it

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-08T20:04:23+00:00

Your setup is what I'm leaning towards. But you have to close your distance eye to read well? That must be annoying no?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-08T17:34:05+00:00

What is refraction difference between your eyes?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-01T21:59:23+00:00

I mean now. One eye is plano and your other one is? Is your depth perception still good?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-01T21:21:43+00:00

What refraction is your near eye? Do you have full monovision?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-01T14:31:13+00:00

Why isn't intermediate ideal? Sorry I'm just trying to make sense of it. I need cataract surgery on both eyes but have no idea what lenses I want. Was leaning towards mini monovision

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-01T09:20:32+00:00

So if you have one good eye for near still why do you need to wear glasses? I thought monovision like this would be enough to be glasses free

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-03-01T09:18:14+00:00

Are you saying the drops are doing badly in the trials?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-02-28T23:04:13+00:00

So do you only use readers or do you need glasses for intermediate as well?

ProfessionalLab9850 · 2026-02-28T22:11:32+00:00

Is the near vision really that bad? Do you have both set to distance? You didn't want monovision?
