As I said most people in your situation have problems with the eyes working together. I have no idea why safety glasses would help but I'm glad it does. Most likely its psychological but again I can't tell for sure.

Thanks for your help.. I have one more question I was wondering if you could answer or have seen anything like it before. After I got the lens replacement(remember I have only one eye done)..I feel very off balanced like my eyes won't focus together most of the time. It also feels like there is something funny going on with my eye which received the lens. If I put on a pair of clear safety glasses it makes that funny dizzy feeling go away and kida balances my eyes. Is there a reason for that? Have you seen this before? Any thoughts?
I think it would be worth the peace of mind for you to get a second opinion such as a retina specialist.
BTW our vision has to constantly change to focus as different objects at different distances and the amount of light, contrast sensitivity, illumination, depth perception is always adapting to what you're trying to see and the amount of light available.

Hi..The thing is I have a regular monofocal lens in now and am having problems. I read the the eye chart 20/20 but by vision seems to change throughtout the day and with different lighting conditions. I also feel like there is something in my eye much of the time. Even though he cannot see anything wrong could there be something that needs a deeper look from a specialist such as a retinal detachment? He tells me if I were to get a pair of glasses they would be clear glass as my far away vision tests on the eye chart.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You can get a 2nd or 3rd opinion but I doubt if anyone tells you anything other than get use to wearing lineless multifocal bifocals.
Your problems are well known, have been discussed here at length. I am not a fan of clear lens extractions for all the reasons you posted. You had a techically perfect operation and see 20/20 at some distances without glasses better than before surgery and the glasses you need are likely much thinner than the ones you needed before surgery.
Multifocal and accommodating IOLS rarely elminiate glasses 100% of the time and many of the people posting her have had much worse results and do not see well even with glasses.
