It may be beneficial to hold off until this lens is available here.
Interesting.
Do it to about 10 million eyes and then get back to me.
If the lawsuits are less than a page, I will look at it.
My 90-year-old father in law just had this procedure done. It’s really improved the quality of his life.

I don’t know what lenses my doctor implanted, but I’ve had my multi focal lenses for 5 years, 7 distances from super close to full driving. I don’t need reading glasses and can even use needle and thread just fine. He said that was where I might have a problem.
These implanted lenses are the best thing that’s ever happened with my vision. Happy camper!
I used to have to use those cheater glasses just to type this screed, but now, the only thing I need those nose hangers for is to read the fine print on medical scripts.
My night vision has no stars nor halos and night driving is no longer a frightening ride.
I am so thrilled with my cataract surgery that I'd do a free TV ad for my doctor, and I told her so.
She is so damn good, that she doesn't advertise, not a single dimes worth of any kind.
Her only source of advertisement is word of mouth from satisfied patients and referring eye doctors, which is the best of all kind.
I am 76 years old...I had cataract surgery about two months ago...I had worn glasses or contacts since I was 8 years old...I now wear neither and I have perfectly clear vision...
IT WAS OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife has the multi-focal IOL. She no longer needs glasses for any distance (including reading), but does see halos at night due to the concentric rings in the lens; its a minor problem as we don’t go out at night very often.
She’s very happy with her lens. The PureSee sounds potentially better but it will be interesting to see what they cost relative to existing lens in the U.S. market.

There are many options in the cataract dicsion. This was one, but I chose far sighted lenses. enjoy looking at the sky and trees with coffee in the morning. Some choose near sighted for reading. Pros and cons.
BKMRK.
This couldn’t be more timely for me — I just went in last week for my initial consultation with the eye doctor re cataracts and she referred me to the cataract specials.
I’ve been near-sighted all my life. Interestingly, my right eye is getting what’s called “second sight” where your distance vision improves but near vision degrades. I really like having excellent distance vision in the right eye. I’m torn whether to get replacement lenses for near- or far-sightedness. My wife recently got one of each, but she’s worn contact lenses like that for decades.
I’m glad I’ve waited.
A timely post. I need cataract surgery.
I’m having this surgery done in Nov
And Dec. But medicare/medicaid doesn’t pay for good multifocals. Thousands would have to come out of my pocket...Ain’t gonna happen. I have a choice of being near sighted or far sighted, and will still need glasses. I chose near sighted because though I drive, it’s not that often. Most of my world is close up. In my younger years, I was near sighted in one eye, far sighted in the other. I’m a little nervous of what to expect.
PureSEE. Data were available for 238 patients...
You really have to know where to look, in order to PurSeev.
😉
And on Mars, Pursee is short for Perseverance.
😂
Of course, Percy is the perky lil rover that found the leopard spots, which NASA was all over for the best evidence for Life on Mars to date.
>>> The story of this potential biosignature began in July 2024. After years of exploring the floor of Jezero Crater, an ancient lakebed, the Perseverance rover drove into Neretva Vallis, the river valley that once fed the now-dry lake. There, it encountered the peculiar Cheyava Falls rock within the Bright Angel formation — a set of rocky outcrops along the northern and southern edges of the river valley. The rock was immediately striking, adorned with small, dark “poppy seed” flecks and distinctive, white, ringed “leopard spots.”
Initial analysis with the rover quickly confirmed the presence of organic molecules — carbon-based molecules that form the basic building blocks of life. But the true significance lay hidden in the chemistry of the spots themselves, which contained minerals thought to indicate the presence of microbial life billions of years ago.

I had cataract surgery about 3 years ago. I had to have it done, because one of the cataracts was right in the middle of my left eye. What they don't tell you before you have the surgery, is that in a majority of cases, you will have to go back and have a laser procedure on both eyes to destroy cells that eventually develop on the lenses and blur your site. It's a one time procedure, and they only do it one eye at a time on different occasions.
I can see 20/20 distance, but shit for anything else. Medicare paid for the frames I picked out, but they did not pay for the graduated lenses I needed for computer and book reading. I paid $350 for them, and I can't wear them to do either. It's because the size of the areas in the graduated lenses that I view from when using the computer and when reading books, isn't big enough to allow me to see clearly. I had to go out and buy reading glasses in two different scripts that I use when I'm on the computer, and when I read books.

She now has "no glasses" vision, both near and far, for the first time in her lifetime. Before the implants her far vision glasses were reaching the point where they had maxed out.
