Of course if our eyesight worsens we'll get a stronger prescription. We certainly won't need three different types of eye glasses. Jill |

Cataracts are not treated by laser surgery, they draw the cataract material out with a needle then insert a soft, plastic lens (just like the ones you can take in and out) under the cornea. Lasik or laser surgery helps with near sightedness. |

In article >,
says... > Cataracts are not treated by laser surgery, They can be. > they draw the cataract > material out with a needle then insert a soft, plastic lens (just like > the ones you can take in and out) under the cornea. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/disea...aser-assisted- cataract-surgery "How is laser-assisted cataract surgery done? With laser-assisted cataract surgery, a camera/ultrasound imaging device is placed over your eye to map its surface and gather information about the lens. The device sends detailed information to a computer that programs the laser for the exact location, size and depth of the incisions. The surgeon uses the laser to make the corneal incision and the opening in the lens capsule. Energy from the laser may also be used to soften the cataract. Then the ultrasound probe used in traditional cataract surgery is used to break the lens into pieces and suction them out of the eye. The IOL is implanted. As with traditional cataract surgery, the corneal incision usually does not require stitches. Who can be offered laser-assisted cataract surgery? Under today?s Medicare guidelines, only certain patients may be offered laser-assisted cataract surgery. Specifically, your ophthalmologist can offer it if you have astigmatism diagnosed during your cataract consultation and would like to have that refractive error corrected during cataract surgery. In this situation, the laser is used to create specific incisions in the cornea to reshape it, treating the astigmatism. You may also be offered laser cataract surgery if you choose to have a premium lens implanted, such as an astigmatism-correcting toric IOL or a multifocal IOL. Ophthalmologists who use laser cataract removal technology explain that it allows them to see and map the lens capsule better and place the opening in the capsule more precisely, allowing for better centering of the IOL.

Can't be surprised by that! Now you've explained you have some sort of complex vision issues. Sorry, Carol, but you made it sound like everyone would need new and three pairs of glasses. A blanket statement. That's why I didn't understand what you were talking about. I'm sorry for you, but I doubt I will encounter the same situation. Knock wood. Jill |

I never said all wold need 3 pairs of glasses. The only time the 3rd comes in is with issues with sunlight and that comment is a side thread. I never said i had cataracts. I do not. What I have is a very common issue that causes one to lose both distance and close vision at the same time. It can actually lead to middle distance issues as well. I am glad you have little personal experience with this as it means you do not have to deal with it. |

These are the reading glasses or computer glasses shes talking about. Reading glasses dont make your prescription stronger, they actually lower the power you need for those of us who are nearsighted. For instance, Im -10.00 in one eye, but I need magnification of +2.00 in order to read a dang menu in a dim restaurant, so with readers, my prescription effectively becomes -8.00. |

These are the reading glasses or computer glasses shes talking about. Reading glasses dont make your prescription stronger, they actually lower the power you need for those of us who are nearsighted. For instance, Im -10.00 in one eye, but I need magnification of +2.00 in order to read a dang menu in a dim restaurant, so with readers, my prescription effectively becomes -8.00. == Interesting! I don't have a clue what my numbers are  I just use the same glasses for everything, except I have one prescription pair (exactly the same as the others) but shaded for wear in the sun. I can still read etc with them |

Yes, I think that is what it is called. Im my case, I have a prescription set that is a bifocal for driving and regular distance things like a car dashboard. I have a second set that is also a bi-focal and its medium and close range. Those are specifically geared to working with compters and spreadsheets (ie; specific to distance to monitor(s). I have a 3rd set that I probably won't replace as they age out but they are bi-focals with distance and close up. Mid range is fuzzy. I tried but was not comfortable with the viewing area of tri-focals. I am both near sighted and far sighted, or so is how it is described? It's not technically both (at least I don't think it is technically accurate), but that is what it 'feels like'. I also have astigmatisms. The Navy told me I class as legally blind without my glasses but that may be fairly common. I recall as I entered the Navy, thy took off my glasses and spun me around then told me to read the wall chart. I had to ask which wall it was on... (not entirely joking but had to squint to read the first line). That was in my 20's and only lacked distance vision then. |

The real difference is, legally blind is when it cannot be corrected to better than 20/200. I always donate my old glasses to the Lions club and they give them to people in poor countries. I wonder what it would be like for a native to go through life very nearsighted and suddenly get a pair of corrective lenses. As an aside, you can have better than 2020 vision. Here are some other facts Levels of Vision 20/20 - Normal vision. Fighter pilot minimum. Required to read the stock quotes in the newspaper, or numbers in the telephone book. 20/40 - Able to pass Driver's License Test in all 50 States. Most printed material is at this level. 20/80 - Able to read alarm clock at 10 feet. News Headlines are this size. 20/200 - Legal blindness. Able to see STOP sign letters. |

I went in for my annual eye exam yesterday. I've cataract surgery in both eyes. We discovered yesterday that my right eye is no longer 20/20 but has slipped to 20/30. Statistically it doesn't happen a lot to people who have had cataract surgery but it does happen. I hope it doesn't slip further. |

I know I'm not correctable to 20/20 but with glasses, pass the drivers vision test. |

Eventually if you are near and far sighted enough, you end up needng 2 pairs to work well. That is all I meant. I am happy if neither of you have vision isses to meet that difference. |

Eventually if you are near and far sighted enough, you end up needng 2 pairs to work well. That is all I meant.

Varilux lenses do not have separate zones, the zones are continuous throughout, with the bottom portion for close reading and the upper region for distance, with most viewing in the center portion. It can take up to a week for one's eyes to adapt. Varilux employs no lines/no separate lens portions... I love them... I hated bi/tri focals. |
