Concensus on blue light filtering in regards to amd

Do we know if its a good idea to pick blf iol's to prevent supposed retina toxicity since clear iol's do not? Or is it up in the air? I suppose if they later find blue light does in fact contribute to amd then younger people with clear iol's already implanted are kinda screwed since they will have them for decades and thus have a much larger absorption of blue light toxicity over many years. Just thinking out loud. What do you think?

Distance monofocals near vision quality

When people with distance monofocals say they cannot see within 3-6 feet are we talking blurry text or are actual objects unidentifiable? Like stuff 2 feet away on a kitchen top. Can you still identify and use objects from that sort of distance without glasses?

Anyone have bad starbursts with monofocals?

Currently have terrible starbursts with my cataracts. At the right angle they are huge and blinding. Parked cars with the sun reflecting off them can be completely covered by the size of the starbursts.

Can monofocals have starbursts close to this bad in worst case scenarios?

Starbursts along with back lighting problems are my worst symptoms. I'm hoping my starbursts are reduced by at least 50%. Ideally 100% but I have large pupils so I imagine I'll still retain some level of them. For someone with large pupils is it possible to have zero starbursts with monofocals even at night? Tecnis1 monofocals is the most likely type ill get. They're acrylic. Ty

Is it worth waiting for the fixOflex iol capsule to become widespread or is it overrated?

Might be getting cataract surgery soon but recently found out about this device that came out this year. Do you think its worth waiting for? I assume its quite expensive. Haven't seen it offered by the clinic iv had consults with. Ty

After getting your first eye done, was your starbursts significantly reduced with both eyes open?

As title. I only want to do one eye. Starbursts along with back-light problems are my worst symptoms. Both eyes have the same symptoms.

After doing one eye was your starburst almost gone since the brain should favour the better eye when they're both open? Ty

Distance glasses on monofocal iols

Forgive my ignorance but if I wear distance glasses on top of near set monofocals will I retain the near vision while wearing them or will I need bifocals. same thing with contacts. Ty

How much near vision with -0.50 monofocal

Can anyone with -0.50 monofocals describe their near vision? Is it almost as bad as plano?

I'd like decent distance vision but thought -0.5 could give some good near vision so im not blind in the 2-3 feet range. -1.00 would sacrifice too much distance vision I think.

Iv never had better than -1.25 before so thought It would be nice to experience better distance vision than I have before. Ty
