I have astigmatism and cataracts. Most of my activities involve seeing at long distances-say 1/4-1/2 miles. What should I tell my eye doctor when discussing my monofocal implants?

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
Tell him what you told us - that you require eyesight that allows for long distances. Monofocal surgery is the most common of these kinds of surgeries and most who get this get them for distance vision - like you will. So your surgeon will be familiar with your needs.

Good luck with your surgery!
