Hi Willie, have had my cataracts done more than five years ago now and excellent results. Much of my time now is in CAD (3Design) and with the menus down the widescreen on my Mac I needed a wide middle distance and. then for close up work with a microscope on the TIG welder, the specialist recommended “trifocals”. The early problems was a halo effect which was present, but as expected disappeared over time. Long distance for me that was never a problem. For the previous twenty years, I used frames made by Englehardt in South Australia (patented) and their reference was the “high-rise”. These were my bifocals which featured a movable nose piece, this allowed you to feature either above or below the separation line of the lenses,
Hi Willie, I am 74 years old and just had cataract surgery - Since my contacts were mono vision - my surgeon suggested I do the same thing… love it I have 2020 vision and can work on all of my projects with no problem. Not everyone is a candidate for this process but I am very happy with the outcome.
Hi Arrie
Thanks for adding your experience.
So glad you are happy with your surgery - were you short sighted before the op?
Do you have to wear any glasses for close up work?
“We have only one body to use, let’s use it wisely” If it needs to have some ‘warranty work’ done on it then let’s do it!
BTW; the name of the Diamond Setting Technique is named… “Two-Bead Setting” with a few spots are “Four-Bead Setting” near where the Rubies are set! Also all of the “Bright-Cutting” was cut prior to any stone setting, why?
The graver would not damage the stone while being set. Imagine setting Emeralds, this could be a genuine nightmare to some setters.
With my new eyes, I am more confidant in attempting any difficult setting technique!
Yes I was near-sighted and have worn glasses or contacts since childhood. And no I don’t wear glasses for anything…YAY!
Good luck on your decision!
Arrie
