My opthamologist also gave a negative review to the new lenses. His exact words: "They are not where they need to be yet." I had surgery and my right eye was corrected for distance. I had to wait two weeks for the left eye to be corrected. We tried an experiment during the interval. He gave me two contact lenses for the left eye: one corrected for distance and the other for reading. He advised me to try both and see which worked better. To my surprise, the reading lens worked better. I had the second surgery and my left eye was corrected to read a computer screen. My brain somehow takes the different inputs from my left and right eyes and I see perfectly for distance and for reading. The only time I need glasses is to thread a needle or do my nails. It's awesome. I highly recommend experimenting with contacts before surgery to see if this works for you. It's called monovision.
