Multifocal intraocular lens implantation in pediatric cataract surgery

What kind of lens did you get, a fixed focal distance or newer?

———What kind of lens did you get,———

For both eyes I get fixed focal length lenses. I had decided that i did not want to spend the money in excess of the Medicare Advantage payment.

The doctor told me he actually did not recommend any of the several other types available. Astigmatism is present in both eyes and he did not think my correction would be adequate with the astigmatic implanted lenses. I will have bifocal (maybe trifocal again) lenses with astigmatic correction in tops with no power and readers in the bottom
