Going into the office 5 days post-op with Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL) — realistic expectations for presentations & screen time?
Hi Everyone,
I am scheduled for Cataract surgery on right eye (my left eye is 202/20 for distance and +0.25 for reading) on Thursday, Aug 27th and I am getting the Light-Adjustable lenses (LAL) which was recommended because of my prior LASIK.
I need to go into the office on Tuesday, Sept 1st (5 days post-op) for for work for a customer presentation. I know LAL comes with strict requirments (need to wear Uv-protctive glasses, but would this be feasible for me to go into the office short 30 minutes presentation. I don't plan to drive and will be taking public transportation.
For those of you who chose LAL and work in office settings:
- How was working on Monitor/screns so soon after surgery while wearing UV glasses?
- Since on eye is being done intially, did the visual diiference between eye makes working or commuting difficult in those first few days?
I plan on to clear everyting with my surgeon at my post-op visit (Aug 28th) but wanted to hear first hand experiences from anyone who has had LAL surgery and had to go into office so soon after surgery.
Thanks!
