As I said before, after the IOL implant in my right eye, it has now a "residual" .25D myopia. Is that common? I'm asking this because I thought that with the implant of a far sight lens the eye would be free of any myopia. I guess that's a very low number, but before the surgery I had a perfect far vision acuity ( on daylight ) with glasses and now the slight "double vision" bothers a bit, mainly when driving ( am I asking too much? ).
Thanks for your comment! I haven't thought of that and you're right, my near vision was perfect until maybe 12 years ago. Today I can still read small prints with my left eye uncorrected at about 10 inches away. I'll really look ( no pun... )into that.
You have probably enjoyed good uncorrected near vision for most of your adult life. If you go with a distance correction in your second eye, you will lose your good uncorrected near/intermediate vision. Many formerly nearsighted people have difficulty adjusting to this loss. Mini-monovision (intermediate vision in your second eye) might be a good compromise for you. It would allow you to perform tasks such as shaving without glasses.
I forgot to say that the right eye surgery went well and I was able to identify details very far. It was a bit "foggy" and dark on the first two days, but that disappeared. On the last three days that eye's vision has become a bit blurry beyond maybe 35 feet, more like a double vision, I went to the Oftalmologist yesterday and he detected a residual -.25 myopia. He said it could go away within the next two weeks.....or not!
