My ophthalmologist has recommended I consider cataract surgery for my left eye, as the clouding is starting to significantly affect my night driving and reading. I'm trying to decide between a standard monofocal lens and a premium multifocal option, but I'm concerned about potential side effects like halos and the out-of-pocket cost difference. For those who have gone through the procedure recently, what factors most influenced your lens choice, and how was your recovery experience in terms of visual clarity and adapting to the new lens, especially if you had the surgery on just one eye initially? I'm also curious about the realistic timeline for returning to normal activities like using a computer or light exercise.
