Hope you're well soon, Steve, and you come back fighting. These MINI MEs can be your eyes and ears in the meantime.

Steve, Sorry about the right eye. I can empathise. I recently had cataract surgery on my right eye with the implant of (the most expensive) multifocal lens. Unfortunately, and not fully explained to me at the time, a small percentage of patients have problems with multifocal lenses and suffer from "glare" and blurred vision. Unfortunately I am one of that small percentage and the vision in my right eye is now worse that before the cataract operation after spending a large amount above the medical insurance coverage. The problem was potentially diagnosed as PCO and I had a follow-up procedure using a Laser intervention to (potentially) clear the cloudiness. It didn't. SO now I am left with a decision either to live with a worse situation than when I started OR start again and replace the multifocal lens with a monofocal, which is now more difficult after the Laser intervention. This is the state of "medicine" today.

So I wish you well....
