Any ophthalmologists here? Optometrists? I had IOL implant done with catarct [View all]

surgery and made a horrible choice for the lens, because it was not explained properly to me I did not choose distance, I chose intermediate so now I still have to wear glasses or contacts when had I done DISTANCE I would not have to.

It is devastating.

Can LASIK be done on top of this to correct it? Does it depend at all on how much scarring was left over from my surgery?

Anyone who is not a gemologist or surgeon should not get anything but distance and I wish my doctors would have sat me down and said no, you dont want this, but they didnt. i.e. there is no reason on earth to not do distance unless you make your living looking at things 3 feet away...

Anyway, help.
