@juliannabeanie I agree that you should make an appointment and get checked out. My expereince with the cataract surgery was negitive in so many ways. Before surgery they asked if I found myself needing more light, or was I reaching for a magnifying glass more often? Before surgery no, but after all the time! I can not look at any lighted image without a ghost image that follows. I myself wish I would have looked in to it more than just going ahead and doing it because so many people said it was great. I understand that everyones experience is different, but my eyes do not even feel like my natural eyes anymore. Very Strange. I am planning on seeing a different doctor when I can to get a second opinion. Dry eyes are a problem now too. There are side effects to the surgery that they do not mention, so I would say I think it is good for you to get your eyes checked. I am not going to go back to the same place!

@chrispie I had cataract surgery on both eyes in January 2025. Since both surgeries, I have blurry vision and floaters. I was told my eyes are dry so I have been treating them with drops, gels, compresses, IPL, steam, etc. I have decided to have my lenses replaced as the Vivity lens I have can cause issues with glare and halos for some people. I will be having the surgery in a couple weeks and I am flying to have it done by a doctor who is experienced with exchanging the Vivity lens. I plan to have the basic lens put in--I am a diabetic and I have read that it is best for diabetics. I will deal with the floaters later. I was told by one doctor that it is because the new lens is clear and I am able to see them now. Another doctor told me it may have been caused by the cataract surgery. I have seen 4 doctors for opinions after the initial surgeries and the exchange doctor will be the 5th.

@chrispie I am also not going back to the same place. They treated me poorly after my first surgery when I told them my vision was way too strong. I asked for them to correct my vision and they were all excited and said I would be able to see clearly without glasses. Well, in my one eye I can see to the moon I think, LOL... but not across the room to the TV it's too strong. When I told them this their answer was... "this surgery is to remove your cataract, not to make your vision perfect... and that's what we did"... I was shocked. They also told me after that appointment there was no need to return for further check ups... So I'm looking for someone else.
