On Monday the 5th I got a new lens in my right eye. Cataract operation and I opted to spend extra money to have PanOptix Toric lenses put it. Cost me a bundle, but so far it's looking good. after over a week I can actually see my smart phone letters and watch TV without glasses, of course with one eye, the other is not that bad but is going to be done Tuesday, the 20th. Incredible what they can do these days. I just wish they could give me a new spine and maybe some memory and reflex back.
The new lens is able to focus from about 15" to infinity in 3 stages, it's not like trifocals though, it just focuses some how. And it also corrects for astigmatism. I find myself already trying to take off my glasses that I don't have on. The first day felt like someone poked me in the eye with a stick, but by that evening the pain was gone enough to sleep fine. It did take a week for the swelling to go down so the lens works right. Only issue I have is a big fuzzy floater in the right eye right where I look to read. I'm hoping with the left done, I can just ignore it. I may look into fixing that too.
