Help! - Cataract Surgery

[still_one]

8. Something doesn't sound right. Did they give you an eye exam and check for astigmatism?

What I would do is get the eye exam values and consider a second opinion

I am assuming the Pan Optix option based on what you described is a bi-focal or progressive lens option. Unless your contacts are currently multi-focal or bifocal, I would strong discourage you NOT to have multi-focal contacts, because it may be very difficult to get used to them, and with cataract surgery you don't want something that you may need to get accustomed to

If it was me, I would just get the cataract lens for distance, which I assume is the standard package, and use reading glasses for close up as you do now.

To me it sounds like they are trying to push you into unecessary revenue.

I hate to say this, but I wonder if your ophthalmologist ethical

Because of trying to push you into something you may not need, I would want to get a second opinion, ideally recommended by friends or family

Hope it works out for you

Take care
