(8,636 posts)I do enjoy reading, my computer, and really don't have a problem wearing glasses as needed - that is what I do already anyway. Although I do wear contacts, or did when I worked although not so much now.
So how did you choice of "near vision" work for you? Can you see as good as previously close up? I can read even small print now without my glasses and prior to my cataract getting worse in this last year I could even see my computer screen without glasses - can't see the screen well now. My prescription went from -3.50 to -6.50 just this last year and that was the first change in years for me. I can see distance now pretty well, but as I said earlier any light or glare makes it difficult. I had to go to dark mode on the desktop to even read text (that worked well).
I worry about getting my measurements for the IOL in March - how accurate it will be and of course the proposed MIGS surgery to hopefully correct my glaucoma (the drops are keeping my pressure at 11-14 without any issue). But as mentioned earlier if it does get worse additional surgery will be required and the Dr. did say that traditional glaucoma surgery is more serious that the proposed MIGS procedure.
Sorry to be so long-winded but I really do appreciate your insight. ☮
