[NSRCA-discussion] Cataract Surgery, Choice of Lens

[Curt Oberg]

Andy,

For an RC flyer,  no question, go for the best far vision.  If you’re a typical person, you’re probably already used to using reading glasses and it’s no big deal to continue to use them.  I was faced with the same decision almost 8 years ago at age 74 and my eye doctor told me to NOT go for the dual vision lens, he said that they really aren’t all that good for near or far vision.  At almost 82, I still have near 20/20 far vision and I recently passed the Florida drivers license eye exam without any corrective lens.  JMHO.

I am going to have Cataract surgery for mild cataracts, but also because of the lens available.  I wanted to get the lens that gives you both close and far vision, probable not needing glasses for either

 

After talking to the Dr. today, they are recommending the lens that specifically corrects distance vision, and using glasses for my close vision  because the lens that corrects both won't be as clear for my distance vision (after explaining my hobby/addiction and needing great distance vision.

 

Has anyone had experience, what would you recommend
