I am returning to this community after years. I had cataract surgery with a Tecnis Symfony toric IOL in 2015 and was extremely satisfied with the results. 20-20 vision. Dr Hagan: you were an enormous help, both to me and to all this community, for which we are indebted. Unfortunately, i am one of those 75 year olds who has developed astigmatism which impairs my vision somewhat but I still manage without eyeglass correction 95% of the time.
I am now answering questions about my experience from my brother and a friend who need cataract surgery. I have encouraged them to join medhelp, and submit questions which I know that you, Dr Hagan, will be so kind to answer. But I wanted to send them the link to your primer on choosing an IOL, and in so doing, I found your remarks about , and recommendation for, the LAL RxSight.
My question is this: does the RxSight act as a multifocal lens like the Symfony and newer versions from J&J? Or is each eye corrected for a specific distance, like a monofocal solution? I imagine that there could be a monovision correction where the non dominant eye is under-corrected for near vision/reading.
Many thanks, Dr Hagan
