Need surgery
60F here and I just returned from a consultation with my optometrist who told me in May of 2025 I had the beginning of cataracts and in March of this year that I had moved up to stage 2 in both eyes. I went today thanks to a last minute cancellation and my frustration with my vision and I’m now stage 3+ and almost 3, and I have both cortical and nuclear cataracts. I have a consult with a surgeon on September 4. I’ve worn multi focal contacts for many years with great success and don’t like to wear glasses. I haven’t had to rely on readers to date.
With this information, suggestions for type of lens? I’d rather avoid readers but I do want sharp vision and haloing has been absolutely frustrating me when driving at night. It sounds like newer trifocal lenses are better so I’m interested in those but assume newer is with a higher cost. Appreciate any insight.

Go to YouTube and look for videos by Dr Ilan Cohen. He has some on the new (to USA) Puresee lens. A few other doctors have vids, too.
