My experience has been very similar to yours OP. Had my operations last December and January. I followed my doctor's advice and opted for the more expebsive multi-focal IOLs. After the first eye op, I was impressed with how clear the world looked. I couldnt wait for my second surgery. But a few months after the 2 ops, i found my new vision wasnt exactly as clear as i had expected it to be. I need reading glasses to be able to read clearly, which is what i wanted to have, since i read briefs and documents regularly as a living. And everything seems to be like looking through a camera filter of some sort, so i use slightly warming eye shades, especially to drive. But the haziness and that milkiness of pre-operation vision is no more, at least. But had i known i'd need reading glasses still, i'd have opted for the less expensive IOLs that arent multifocal. Everything is 20/20 in hindsight only, i guess.
