Interested in opinions of musicians who have had cataract surgery about what is best choice for implanted lens. I play mostly clarinet - standing, sitting - as well as saxophone where in big bands the fronts can be low and you're standing/half crouch looking at the sheet.
Having cataract surgery this Tues and have choice of far, intermediate, or near focal length monofocal lens. Multifocal lens apparently is not an option for technical/medical reasons.
Since I spend a LOT of time practicing, and previously performing- I thought maybe intermediate lens would be best since I wouldn't need glasses to play, and hopefully wouldn't have to stay immobile while playing, but I would need glasses for driving. If I get distance lenses, then I would need glasses to play. It also occurs to me that if intermediate implanted lenses don't work well you're stuck them. Also considered different focal lengths for each eye, with the notion that brain eventually gets used this and corrects the images. Again if it doesn't work out - stuck with them. Opthalmologist basically says its my choice.
What has been the experience here. Suggestions?
Thanks.
