[mariepi]

Have Restor multifocal toric  IOL  SND1T2     OD 19.5D       1.00CYL  +3.00 add           end of 2013
                                                         "                OS  20.0 D      "                 "
I visited my optometrist because I am not pleased with my vision and the ophthalmologist just brush me  off telling me that I should not need glasses other than store generic readers. The glare should go with time. the starburst too with pilocarpine that I tried and disliked. I also have  some degree of blur.My optometrist told me that I had some residual astigmatism. It might be why things are not sharp and lack definition . He proposed that I wear glasses if I am really bothered by the lack of precision or when I need it, I am a fibre artist and a painter . He said that he himself did not go for a   premium lens. My mistake was not have seen him before the surgery. And,kept off the internet when I saw so much negative stuff.
Mea culpa !
He gave me a Rx:
OD +.50 -1.00x100
OS +.25-.75 x 92
Add OD +2.50       OS +2.50      Can you  explain me what it means regarding the IOL rx

I will see my ophthalmologist in 3 weeks to decide if I want more YAG to help the starbursts ( had it done 90 days after implant) , my optometrist said like a Dr. here that it is the nature of these lens and he advised me against more YAG when I asked .

[Doreen Fazio, M.D.]

In the right eye, +0.50 is a small amount of hyperopia (farsightedness), the -1.00 is the amount of astigmatism, and the 100 is the axis or orientation of the astigmatism.  In the left eye, the +0.25 is a very small amount of hyperopia, the -0.75 is the astigmatism, and the 92 is the axis or orientation of the astigmatism.  Small amounts of uncorrected refractive error will decrease the vision in patients with multifocal IOLs (intraocular lenses).  Try the glasses first, and see if they help to decrease some of the vision problems.  If not, seek out another opinion from an experienced cataract surgeon who is an expert in multifocal IOLs and refractive surgery.  You may be able to find such a surgeon on the ASCRS web site.  You probably do not need to have the YAG capsulotomy enlarged, unless it is very small.  Multifocal IOLs inherently decrease contrast sensitivity, and some patients have glare and haloes, due to the optics of these implants.

Thank you for the information about the Rx.it does help a lot. I was not sold to the re YAG, if these starbursts are so identical in sizes and forms in both eyes I do not see how YAG again will help. Your opinion makes me more certain that I do not want it   This whole process disturbs me more and more. I find myself looking for answers online where I refused to take information from before surgery because of so much negative posts..
I am wondering why these lens are still sold with big promises by the  makers if there are so many people unhappy. I have to admit that I can see a lot better then before and no glasses but I need t.

I have to wonder where you are located, since there are no multifocal toric IOLs available in the US at this time.
