I've had the former (in both eyes) over the past two years, and opted for replacement lenses that corrected for distance. Since then, I've had perfect distance vision (for the first time since kindergarten), and been able to get by with cheap readers for close-in stuff.<br clear="none">

I've had no glare issues at all with my artificial lenses.<br clear="none">

I had heard about glare from early Lasik but had not heard about it with cataract surgery. I am suppose to have it later this week on one eye. My Dr told me mine would correct my distance/astigmatism and after wards we would look at the right eye as I have one there but it is not as severe as my left eye. If we do both he said I should only need reading glasses. Been wearing multi focal for about 40 years. Also posted on FB group.<br clear="none">

I seem to remember that this has come up in the past, but I wanted to check with people about what is happening now.<br clear="none">
A friend and co-worker is going in for cataract surgery. He has the choice between a lens that will correct the astigmatism or one that will improve sight as well. The one that improves vision is reported to be more prone to glare in dark environments.<br clear="none">
Since, he is a rigger/flyman/carpenter, he is concerned that the glare from looking up into the lights might make it harder to work.<br clear="none">
Any help or experiences would be appreciated.<br clear="none">
The model of lens is a Technis Multifocal 10L by Abbot.<br clear="none">
Thanks,<br clear="none">
