Warning if HIGH MYOPE.....I had my left eye done last year, and I'm so depressed with outcome. I have macular puckers in both eyes without any symptoms before surgery. I've been wearing glasses since 9 yo, for distance, I used to be able to see fine....before surgery. After surgery the words and letters danced up and down on the page, but the worst is the implanted lens. I told the doctor I wanted to be able to thread a needle. I'm an accountant that does my own tax returns and bills, and love reading, doing needlepoint, embroidery and just plain sewing. Dr implanted a lens that I would have to thread a needle at arm's length and other activities. To see close up properly I have to close my left eye and only look with my right (it still has cataract). It will be a LONG time before I trust a doctor to touch my right eye.
So forewarned is forearmed.......especially if you're high myope and hope to see close again....ps my doctor came highly recommended, although after my first visit I wasn't sure about him.
