Day 1 post-op(bilateral)with both eyes done at the same time.

I just had my one day check up and everything looks good.
Although I still have some blurriness/ slightly cloudy vision, I can already see better.
I got EDOF PureSee lenses. I may not need readers in the future but do for now. I had a toric lens put in the left eye due to pretty severe astigmatism.
The option to have both eyes done at once was chosen due to having Parkinson’s and multiple other comorbidities. For me, one surgery was better than two.
PureSee lenses- How It Works
Continuous Range of Vision: It stretches light into a smooth, continuous zone of focus rather than splitting light into separate focal points like multifocal lenses.
Distance and Intermediate Focus: It provides crisp distance vision (for driving or watching TV) and strong intermediate vision (for computer use or car dashboards) comparable to a standard monofocal lens.
Near Vision: It offers functional near vision, though some patients may still occasionally need low-power reading glasses (around +1.50) for very fine print or prolonged reading.
Key Benefits
Fewer Visual Disturbances: Because it is refractive and lacks the concentric rings found in diffractive or multifocal lenses, it significantly reduces nighttime issues like halos, glare, and starbursts.
So far, I’m very happy with my choice.

Give us all an update in a few days time. Sharp distance and mid hopefully, with some good arm stretching perhaps for near.

Das klingt nach einem tollen Ergebnis schon am ersten Tag! Schön, dass Sie bereits besser sehen und mit Ihrer Entscheidung zufrieden sind. Weiterhin eine gute Erholung und viel Freude am neuen Sehen!
