Do you know what your Target Diopter numbers are? Like +1 or -2, etc.
I also have had retina scarring surgery (ERM, Vitrectomy) and am looking into Cataract surgery so I would be interested in what your Cataract Surgeon targeted and what you actually ended up at.
Also, how you like it.
Thank you !
no I dont know the numbers. I had the reader replaced with a distance lense 10 days ago
It depends on the visual potential of the eye.

I had ERM surgery in my right eye, which left me with excellent acuity but mild distortion due to retinal damage. Looking though my right eye, images are slightly elongated--like in an El Greco painting. The distortion is most noticeable when I look at faces with only my right eye. However, both my IOLs are set for distance, and I am not aware of the distortion using both eyes together--my good left eye seems to override my damaged one. I use progressive glasses for near/intermediate vision. I don't know whether my experience would generalize to that of others.
I've been told that the eye is a 20/40 eye
