BTW if you wear glasses to correct astigmatism, just remove the lens that they do the surgery on and you will still be able to see to do most things, even drive. That is what we did with mine, until it was healed enough for a new RX. And NO they do not correct for astigmatism with cataract implants. I’m still in multi-focals for that.

And see the Optometrist on Thursday for a new set of lenses....that is the weird part for me I need stronger glasses each year on fixed implants. But then again I have Fibromyalgia and that is one of the reasons behind needing yearly new RX’s as the eye muscles are impacted by it.

Don't know if this applies to you with other conditions in addition to the lens implants, but if you are still needing glasses with a new Rx each year, you might look into accommodating lenses. Since they adjust with variable focus, you shouldn't need new glasses and maybe not even reading glasses.
