What are you doing today?

technically neither. Unlike multifocal lenses, the ones I have are continuous focus from a couple feet to infinity. They are called “vivity,” and in addition to not being made with 3 discrete focal zones, they also essentially eliminate flare/starbursts that you get from multifocals.

Only downsides I’ve found is my near vision (for reading closer than computer distance) needs about +1.25 correction (in the left eye. Too soon to judge right eye), and if I’m looking at text at the very near edge of its focussing ability (around 1 foot and a half, say), it’s a little distorted (i.e. wavy).

Are you seeing any other oddities at night? I have a few, but not too bad – I consider them special effects. I also had some visual clouding that was attributed to thickening of the posterior capsule and that was successfully treated with a laser capsulotomy.

If a point light source hits at exactly the right angle, I may see a tiny little halo. Rare, and not distracting - I only notice because I’m looking for it. High beam headlights coming directly at me do flare, though it’s about the same as I used to see while wearing my glasses, so it doesn’t bother me. And in low light I can’t see quite as well as my wife (who wears glasses). Apparently you lose a little contrast with these, but I wouldn’t have known it except my wife was able to read a distant sign that I couldn’t the other night.

I hear there’s an even better lens - Galaxy - that gets you even closer vision, but it’s not yet available in the U.S., which is a shame.
