Hi Jialat,
I had my right eye cataract surgery 6 weeks ago. Implanted PanOptix Multifocal Lens. But Im having hard time seeing near and intermediate as the words are always “glowing” and I cant even read fine print...Im seeing double/glowing/shadow.
Background:
1. My Optician asked me to consult an eye doctor as she is having hard time giving me the right prescription as Im not seeing things as clear as my left and every 3 months my power increases (Since beginning 2020)
2. Went to eye specialist and they told me both eye had cataract.
3. My IOL reading was done by a person sitting at a receptionist counter (Guess the PIC went for lunch?) and set appt for surgery 1 week later.
4. Submitted pre approval for GL request.
5. Went for second opinion. They confirmed I do have cataract and dry eyes.
6. On the day of surgery I wasn’t well, body aching (Neck and shoulder), but the doctor proceeded with surgery. (No sedation given, and I was having panic and anxiety till the end)
7. One month post ops: Results Distance +1.00, Astig +1.25, Add power +1.00 (Before Distance -5.25, Astig -0.25)
My question:
1. Did they implanted wrong IOL power?
2. Panoptix lens is not suitable for me? I can’t see properly..I cant work on my computer using my operated eye.
3. Lasik will help fixing my current issue?
4. Do you have any recommendations where to go for my left eye cataract?
hi, i afraid nothing much surgically can be done for your right eye, many suffer from multifocal IOL implant too and the remaining eye they will go for a good monofocal IOL implant to at least keep the distance vision clear and be able to walk and drive safe with one eye. most of them experience the same glaring and blur near vision like you do. Lasik can't help them too/
please private message me so I can refer you to another eye specialist for his opinion on the right eye problem and to do your left cataract surgery.
All the best and take care.
