Due to rapidly deteriorating eyesight in my right eye, caused by a cataract, I will be having surgery as soon as I can schedule it...I have my initial appt. with the surgeon early next week.
Have been doing a lot of reading and it appears that multifocal is the way to go, even though it's considered a 'premium' lens and my insurance will most like not cover it. In my reading, people either love or hate the multis and I don't personally know anyone with these types of lenses.
Other than cataracts (the one in the left eye is tiny and stable), I have no other eye health issues and am considered an excellent candidate for the surgery. I'm currently (or was) nearsighted. I have worn progressives for a few years and love them. I'm in my 50s so these lenses will be with me a long, long, time and I plan on getting the best, no matter the cost!
I'm hoping for lots of input on the pros and cons of the various types of lenses, especially the multis. Thank you.
Edited to add: I'm looking forward to throwing away my glasses and understand that the multis can make that possible.
