Thanks for the video link. I'd advise anyone needing cataract surgery to not get talked in to having a different focal point ie one for reading and one for long distance . In my view that just gives you a compromise in all that you do with your eyes oweing to the improvements you get with proper binocular vision both for close up and distance . Just continue with reading glasses if you were allready doing that.
I'm about 1.5 years and 1.1 years into my IOL surgeries . The thing to remember is that its a bit of a lucky dip down the track how things turn out . Butif your vision was really suffering before you will still be way better off.
Before I was about -6 dioptres short sighted in both eyes plus wearing readers with typically a + 1.5 add. Astronomy was seriously compromised with my right eye cataract progressing very fast . My right eye became so short sighted no optical correction would help . There was also a yellow brown haze, so that my righteye became useless for astronomy and pretty bad in the day .
Cutting to the end of the story , I had Zeiss aspheric clear implants ( not the usual yellow tint they try to sell you on. My daytime vision is now brilliant - I can easily read the very smallest letter on the bottom line of the chart .
Still have some night myopia and some different astigmatism when pupils expanded . I have some astronomy glasses , which have about - 0.5 dioptre extra sherical correction and an 0.5 dioptre astigmatism in both eyes , which is not a problem in the day . So night vision with these glasses is amazing .
I can split naked eye doubles I can remember splitting when I was 11 or 12 . The astigmatism in my left eye ( where I had none before the implants ) seems to persist in the telescope at all magnifications with glasses off , while I don't see it at all in my right eye ( which was originally the bad eye ). I am converting my eyepieces over to Baader Morpheus 76 degree which I can use a Badder Dioptrix corrector on if I choose - or I just use my right eye mostly anyway .
My day vision is so sharp I can read my phone fine , only need readers for computer and tablet / books .
Alll in all its been a good experience . Colours are vibrant - I can see the blue end of the spectrum now and whites look a very pure white , and the pool looks blue again rather than green . Getting up in the morning and not searching for glasses is great !
Hope this helps .
