Cataracts: Anyone get multifocal lenses?

[Passepartout]

As someone who's worn multifocal contact lenses for years and had a multifocal IOL implanted during cataract surgery, it's worth mentioning that nothing precludes wearing a contact lens after cataract surgery if you find your post surgery vision not exactly to your liking.

Point taken. Thanks.

I had mono vision lens implanted when I had cataract surgery about 14 years ago and they've worked fine. I was used to the concept having worn mono vision contac lens for many years previously. My far vision isn't the greatest, such as when we're outside at night and my husband is pointing out some constellation and I don't see it. But, I don't really need to see into outer space. It's good enough for driving, and the near vision is good enough to read and do the computer without glasses.

Well when those aliens from another galaxy show up you might actually wish to see into outer space!
