Has anyone had Mutifocus Lens Replacement?

As soon as my cataracts were diagnosed my op was scheduled for a few weeks later. Straightforward and painless. That interim period with 'odd eyes' was kept as short as possible to avoid dealing with the discrepancy.

I'm paying for it myself Phoenix - spending my inheritance! My cataracts are at a early stage so wouldn't be done on the NHS. I had already made up my mind to have lens replacement and they found the cataracts when I had their tests for the op.
Last year for the first time in my life I was really scared some nights driving home in the dark from work especially if it was raining.
As my husband died last year I'm on my own and I refuse to give in and not driving at night - nor can I if I want to keep working. I know I'm very lucky I'm in a position to be able to afford to get it done.

mumski is this being done on the NHS, or privately?

I wear varifocals, had cataract done in one eye last year, will probably need the other one done before too long!

Driving at night is still worrying, so I tend to avoid it.

All your comments have really helped. I was told I've got cataracts developing in both eyes so this will be an added bonus for getting them done too.
Thank you so much. I feel much more reassured now xx

Highly recommend. I had both eyes done in 2012 with lens replacements. It is the best decision I ever made. Took me successfully from 3 pairs of glasses to 20/20 vision. As I can have no form of anesthetic I was scared. The painless lazier treatment took 10-20 mins max for each eye on separate occasions. One eye had to be patched and drops used before the second eye could be done 2 weeks later. The none patched eye takes over the vision and the brain adjusts in days. After one month I had 20/20 vision. Sometimes I get a slight halo from oncoming traffic at night in one eye when tired. Putting the sun visor down or wearing sunglasses eliminate it. Something I had not taken into consideration, as my eyesight was poor, the lens in the left eye is for long sight, the left short sight. Together perfect vision.

Benefits:
You will be amazed at the shades of colours you can see. Black is no longer grey etc. Never need a cataracts op. Save a fortune on glasses. Smile when people ask you if you have your glasses with you as if all 60+ should wear them. Enjoy nature & paintings in minute detail. Read small print books & instructions.
Good luck with your op. hope it is as successful as mine.

I had this done about 8 years ago, fantastic, never looked back. I had my cataracts done and instead of the plain lens usually inserted, I had the multifocal lens inserted so that I never have to wear glasses again, (except ready readers for computer work). It's worth it.

I had this done a few years ago as I was fed up of wearing varifocal glasses.
The procedure itself was absolutely fine. The week between the two procedures was a bit odd because I had normal vision in one eye but impaired vision in the one with normal lens.
As for the halo effect, well it was so pretty I had trouble ‘relaxing’ and not looking at it. For me, it took well over 12 months for the halo to diminish but I rarely drive at night, I have no need to, and I think more exposure to being out at night might have speeded up the process.
After the initial 12 months the halo effect continued to lessen but I can’t remember when it actually stopped.
I’m very happy that I had this done.
Oh I should add that daytime vision within a couple of days of the second procedure was perfect.
Good luck, I’m sure all will be well.
