Second eye IOL surgery question
Hi. I had cataract surgery on my right eye 1.5 years ago. Now without glasses acceptable vision starts at about 6 feet out and farther, Closer than 6 feet it's blurry without glasses (but pretty good with progressives).
I'll be having cataract surgery in my LEFT eye soon. I'd like post-op to see clearly out the LEFT eye without glasses from 1 ft out to 6 feet (or more) to fill the range where my right eye doesn't see well, I understand this is called Monovision. I also have -1.75 astigmatism in the left eye, which I hope a toric IOL will fix. How do I achieve good vision post-op from 1 to 6 feet? I don't mind wearing glasses for distance vision for this eye. Thanks.
