Has anyone had

[Nay]

1. I just had cataract surgery myself. During the consultation, the doc explained to me

that there were different lenses that could offer different options. Since I've always worn glasses because I was nearsighted, I chose to have lenses that focused on distance vision rather than closeup vision. I use drugstore reading glasses to give me very clear closeup vision.

There were several lenses that promised to give distance vision and also a good shot at closeup vision, but I had already talked to friends who had those lenses and they said that the closeup vision was NOT as good as their natural former closeup vision -- they were disappointed, mostly. One woman was happy with her lenses and said that it gave her enough closeup vision for her to be satisfied. The doc also told me that they couldn't guarantee that I'd have both distance and closeup, so I did not choose that option.

I believe there are also lenses that can give you closeup vision and not distance vision.

In any case, your doctor should have explained all of this to you before the operation so you could make a choice.
