Multi-focal lens implant

Don't make the same mistake I did and get a multi focal lens. Despite being convinced about glare and halos being reduced by the surgeon and their lterature, I have very poor vision now in the eye and will be getting the lens removed soon and replaced with a mono focus lens. I have unacceptable halos and blurred vision in all but bright sunshine. That means indoors, outdoors in cloudy weather, at work, I am effectively using the other eye as the eye with the implant gives next to useless vision. Don't be fooled like I was. These types of lens are still prone to all kinds of problems, not least because they let in about 20% less light than monofocals and this makes contrast difficult, something no amount of time will cure.

I am really p*ssed at myself for not doing my homework properly. Be very sceptical of the marketing hype around these lens. In my opinion, they should be banned.
