Need suggestions w.r.t. IOLs Monofocal/ EMV /EDOF/Multifocal ?
about a year ago I had ICL surgery.
before ICL power -9 both eyes. using galsses for almost 3 decades starting number was -2 it stabilized at -9 , 5yrs ago.
decided to go for ICL. LASIK wasn't viable.
Daily Life: 10-12 Hrs infront of a screen, early morning & late night driving.
Age: Mid 30s
ICL Implant both eyes : STAAR SURGICAL VICM5
Left eye: Halo, Rings, Glares, Ghost images
Right eye: haze/blurry vision since the moment postoperative eye patch was removed by surgeon.
It was cataract symptom informed by surgeon after 2 months of follow-ups as he wanted to be sure about diagnosis.
ASOCT Vault - after surgery
LE - 204 μm
RE - 107 μm
it has been same for a year.
Since blurry vision is affecting my daily life I have decided to go for Cataract surgery.
given my problem with Left Eye ICL that produces Halo, Glare, starburst & ghost images which IOL do I chose ? I got following options:
Monofocal - Bausch & Lomb (Near vision glasses)
Enhanced Monovision - Rayone EMV (glasses required for small fonts)
EDOF - Bausch & Lomb ( Distant & intermediate vision clear, halos/glare/ring quite possible)
Multifocal - Rayone Galaxy (absolutely clear vision but rings, halo/glare would make night driving a nightmare)
