Looking for input from those who have had Symfony lens for cataract IOL.
My Dr. gave me the news that I had expected to hear, time for cataract removal at 55. He gave option from monofocal lens which would be great for distant vision but then need readers. But he then suggested a newer lens, Symfony, which would then give me distant and near vision, including using the computer, without readers.
I've been using readers since having Lasik many years ago, so not a change for me and my habits. But not having readers is appealing.
His said the downside with Symfony is some patients experience seeing halo's at night so nigh driving would be affected. I've had similar experience with night vision since I had Lasik, so if that should occur it seems I've already adapted to that type of experience.
There's obviously a cost difference, about $2K per eye. So for those who have had Symfony lens would you do it again?
