To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Lens Implantation I was extremely farsighted and decided, when I learned that a “bi-focal” lens was available, to treat myself and get the surgery to implant bi-focal lenses into my eyes. (This is also considered cataract surgery). It has been a nightmare ever since. While it was divulged there could be some “haloing” and the lens wasn’t perfect, I had no idea it would be as different as my vision was prior to the procedure. Though the practice I chose to perform this procedure is very good and the surgeon who performed the procedure was equally as good, I wasn’t prepared for the limitations of the lens implant. I advise anyone who decides to have elective surgery to rid themselves of glasses (not Lasik, but lens implantation) that they do thorough research before moving forward. March 2008
