a lens implant that will allow me to thread a needle
I was told there are no nearsighted lenses. I'm a high myope and I can see close with my right eye. If I have cataract surgery, I would like to be able to thread a needle without reading glasses. Am I out of luck with this wish?

how many have 20/800 with macular puckers?.......There are many people who never wore glasses prior to cataract surgery for distance or close.
25% are myopes only 2% of myopes are high myopes,
so approximately 17,000 are high myopes, and then further lower number with macular puckers. And that's out of 3.5 million cataract surgeries a year....
I don’t mean to appear dumb, but I have poor vision and am legally blind in right eye due to scarring from radial keratotomy surgery some 40 or so years ago! Had a cornea transplant in that right eye in 2003 but unsuccessful due to the incisions in my cornea opening up and requiring cornea stitches leading to severe astigmatism. Now, as far as the left eye, I had cataract surgery in left eye a few years ago but to my knowledge no lens to give me better vision was implanted! ?????
Sounds unusual.....but maybe you can call your eye surgeon to confirm Wishing you all the best....
