    Correct, I don't need glasses for anything day to day, my night vision took a little longer to come around than my day vision, but it's all good and the same now. Good luck

    Hello! Question: In daily tasks, such as reading a book, newspaper, cell phone, computer, can you do this without problems with Vivity? In the dark, does it have the same quality of vision or does it change? Thanks!

    How’s your near vision given the vivity lens corrects only distance and intermediate vision?

  • @JH-pd1bl

    No need for glasses hardly ever. If I needed to thread a needle, for instance, readers may help however I don't know where my old glasses are anymore as I never need them. The halos cleaned up after 9 mos and are so insignificant that I don't even think about them. Night vision is great and yes, I would recommend Vivity. I'm not quite sure what trifocal you are speaking of, as my lenses are extended depth of focus and to the best of my knowledge, don't have trifocal rings of any sort. Good luck!

    Thanks for your video and looking to get trifocal lens replacements done too.. are the halos in both eyes? My surgeon says halos can occur but some don't get them at all.. are you getting used to then? Do they bother you at night much? I heard trifocals are harder to see in low light.. is that your experience? Some people have reported their mid and long distance is worse post op.. hope that isn't the case.. would you say you have perfect clarity at all distances now without any need for glasses to date and would you still recommend the vivity lenses? Thank you.. really appreciate your reply

    My experience was I had a cataract in my left eye which is my dominant eye ever though I am right handed. 6 December 2022 I had the Vivity lens put in, right away looking out the side of the patch I noticed the lights on the Christmas tree were brighter and more colorful than before, and like others had said all of a sudden white was white! 11 January 2024 the Opthamologist informed me that my right eye now needs to be replaced as well. 13 February 2024 I went to talk to him about maybe doing a micro-mono with my right eye, we discussed it at length and I told him manely want to see and focus on my cell at almost arms length, but only if it doesn't affect my distance and intermediate vision, he informed me of all his experience doing mono and mini-mono and the patients haven't been very happy. Micro-mono is normally about 0.5 diopter, he said he would give me 0.22 diopter or a micro-micro-mono, and my distance and intermediate I probably wouldn't notice a difference at all. Well I do notice a slight difference in the right eye when compared to the left, but at about 12 to 14 inches from my eyes my right eye can see clearly and focused, my left eye can barely do that at arms length and then the printing is to small to easily read. When watching TV at a distance of about 11 to 12 feet, with white print on a black background, left is is crystal clear, right eye is slightly blurry, alm9st like I see a slight vertical triple vision, a slight double above and below the main character on the screen. But with both eyes open the brain takes the best picture and uses that so I can see perfectly. I do know the correction needed was different for both eyes, ny left eye at Plano was +23.5 Diopters, my right eye was +24 Diopters. My right eye has the Acrysof.IQ Vivity Toric IOL, and my left is the new Clareon Vivity Toric IOL. As for dystosias I had none in my left eye but a year after I had my left eye was done I had a secondary cataract, laser surgery was used to remove it, then I got starbursts only in my left eye, but nothing yet in my right eye, but may get it if a secondary cataract should develop. But after a few months I did get used to it. Overall I am very happy with what my vision is, but I still find myself putting on reading glasses out of habit only, hard habit to break after 20 years. I did notice that finally Canada has something cheaper than the US, several thousand less, thank God!

    • @sheldons231
      @sheldons231 4 місяці тому

      I guess I need to add that this was not elective surgery, as I did have cataracts, so tjat may have something to do with the lower cost.

    I'm not sure how describe the way I see colors in Kelvin, but I can say white is much whiter and colors are more vivid than I remember them. Overall, my best advice is, "Give it time". My vision didn't completely settle in for at least a year. I had a small floater that also has resolved itself. I hope that helps

    Hello-YES! I can easily track my tee shots, even in very low light as we are the first tee time on Sundays and tee off more or less in the dark. and I can now clearly see the ball when I tee it up. In fact I now focus on a very small spot on the ball in backswing which has improved my game. The new clubs on the other hand... :/. I guess it's not the arrow, it's the indian! The night time halos are almost completely gone and I'm still very happy with my results.

    I'm scheduled to do my preop visit with the eye surgeon and then pick a lens option. I too am a golfer who has a hard time locating and following a golf ball because my right eye has medium to severe cataract and when I look out of it I see what looks like a morning fog. The optometrist says my right eye vision is about 20/2000. My question is has your golf game improved or the ability to track your ball improved, My left eye is a total different problem and I hope I can get that fixed with just Lasick or something like that.

  • @AS-tt8ui
    @AS-tt8ui 5 місяців тому

    The very sharpest and highest contrast distance vision is still the monofocal lens. Intermediate is decent too. Arm length and nearer slowly gets blurry and readers are needed for reading. Night driving is best with monofocal lens too not because of no halos but because 100% of the light is focused on the retina unlike the multifocal lens. As you age less light reaches the retina and multifocals make it worse. (age 73) Night driving and seeing in dim light is great.

    I think these focal lenses are over hyped. Vivity UV, Both eyes got blinder effect on the out side edge. Rt eye blurry at all distances with star burst glare, left eye halo glare. Dont attribute the new clarity to the lens it was removal of the cateract. Glasses were better for seeing but less convenient. Maybe 3 stars on Amazon scale. 😮
