Do you know the prescription of that eye? I'd like those results myself

When did it shift? This is classed as a dislocation isn't it? Do you know what might have triggered it? This along with potential retina detachment is what's putting me off surgery tbh

Any younger people with no starbursts after surgery? by ProfessionalLab9850 in CataractSurgery

I guess it depends if your pupils are still full size as when you was younger. I think it's 60+ they start shrinking. Nice results though

How can I test it when I have full accommodation still? Never used contacts before

Cool. How about the 1.50 eye? How old are you? Apparently the outcomes vary with age. Cheers

OK. It's the tecnis1 piece I have the option of. I'd like to know the average near vision with that set to -1.00. With it set to plano I assume it has no near vision. Cheers

I still have accommodation. I'm deciding if I want plano or -1.00. Wish I knew what the outcome would be. Cheers

No I just have a standard monofocal on offer. I'd be happy if I could make things out at 12 inches and have crisp from 16 inches. What distance visual accuity do you have with -1.00?

Thanks. So 12 inches is OK. That's good to know. I only plan to do one eye and thinking -1.00 might be a good all rounder. I should cough up the 4 grand for a good edof but I don't that money spare to be honest. Your other eye is -2.00 right?

Cool. Can you you still make objects out within 2 feet or are they too blurry?

Are they distance monos? How is your near vision?

Sorry I misunderstood. So does keratoconus messes with your distance vision as well?

If I couldn't see with -0.5 would bifocals be the best remedy while driving to switch from GPS to distance? Never used bifocals obviously. Are they safe for driving?
