Replacement lenses for cataract surgery

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.

We were told about the 40% possibility by the surgeon, 2 yrs after the replacement lenses installation at a regular annual eye appointment. Surprised us... at least it was fixable with a 5-min laser treatment. I still believe they should have divulged ibfo about the possible 40% prior to surgery.
