Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

I'm so so sorry this happened to you...
I may have told you that I took the risk (which was downplayed by my cataract surgeon) to have a lens exchange. I regret that so much now...
This reminds me of my unintended monovision where my distance eye seems to take over for distance and near eye for near... I wonder if that might happen eventually with your eyes?

Thank you for the encouragement! It’s been 1.5 years since the failed surgery. It’s a process now of trying patched eye, tape on left glasses lens and monovision near-vision contact lens. None of these has proven to be very good.

I guess I was a little greedy wanting a final FOV “clean-up” of this eye. With my moderate success in previous surgeries by this high-powered surgeon AND with his minuscule percentage risk profile he presented for this one, I never dreamed I’d have this terrible result. There is never Zero risk. Many are worse off than me and I am blessed.
