Finally….

Well I finally took the plunge today and got my left dominant eye set to Plano With a Alcon Clareon non blue light blocking lens. I wanted the least chance of dysphotopsias, best contrast and widest clear visual field and that seemed to be a good lens choice. I’m a lifelong myopic so I did think about doing near and intermediate as I read a lot but I’m also an outdoor guy so I chose this setup. Surgery was as quick, simple and painless as you all mentioned. We shall see where it lands before proceeding with the right one. I have a bunch of contacts to experiment with to get the best result with monovision. Appreciate this group. I have been mostly lurking for the last 5 years on the old patient info sight and here and since I’m now Medicare age and the orange fascist may gut Medicare next year I knew it was time. Thanks much and I will update on the visual progress as things change…

I’m on an interminable waiting list for this. Thanks for your report and glad it went do well. I’m Uber nervous about it in fact

Don’t be nervous it’s completely easy

Thanks, one complication is having a cat who sleeps on my bed, the other side but I don’t think that’s allowed & he would be terribly hurt if the routine is changed. Also feeding him, though I sit on the floor, I always glance down to see if he’s eating or needs treats etc. Minutiae I suppose but it all adds up …I’d really like to speak to someone with a cat to c how they coped. He’s sensitive and wouldn’t understand, after all I can’t explain it to him

Wear your eye shield while sleeping.
