Replacement lenses for cataract surgery

Im sorry you had the damage to your eye. I've held off on cataracts removal til Im darned near blind, because when my husband had 1 of his cataracts removed, the lenses became blurry again after a couple years...they had not disclosed that this happens about 40% of the time! So I've held off. But, its time. My surgeon also has an option of each eye being different lense, 1 near vision, the other eye distant
vision... that would not be for me; i can't even handle gradual bifocal with my vertigo!
I so appreciate all the responses Im getting; is really helping me w my decision.

I don’t doubt you, but I wonder where you found the statistic that 40% of patients have cloudy vision after several years of an IOL. I am just like you: very anxious about vision after IOL I am extremely nearsighted and have astigmatism.
Years ago I wore different contact lenses to help with that: one for distance, one for close up. I had no problem with vertigo at all, but I felt it certainly compromised by distance vision. At age 69 I am hoping that they keep perfecting these IOL offerings. My cataracts are at Stage 1 now.
