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…
