Question: I had toric lens put in right eye during cataract surgery
with no since I still have to wear glasses for distance. I'm considering
monovision lens for left eye so I can still read without glasses. If I do this
will glasses enable the left eye to see distance clearly?
Answer:
First, if you still need to wear glasses with the toric lens implant for
distance, you need to find out why and whether there is a solution to get you
seeing better. It is important to know the reason and understand whether it has
anything to do with the lens implant, the cataract surgery or the health of
your eye-especially the retina. Second, if you now correct the left eye for
near-NO-you will not be able to see clearly at distance with the left eye. You
need to get better answers from your cataract surgeon and if you are not
satisfied seek a second opinion.
