How is your vision after Cataract Surgery?

How is your vision after Cataract Surgery? Please specify whether you got a monofocal or multifocal/accommodative IOL. I would like to know what distances you are able to see clearly. What distances are slightly blurry but acceptable and what distances are just unbearably blurry. I am particularly interested in those who have received Monofocal IOL set to Distance but I would also really appreciate hearing those experiences with different IOLs. I have heard from several people that with a IOL Set to Distance they are still able to use the Computer at about 18 inches. This has confused me since I had thought IOL set to distance makes intermediate distance blurry. Thanks!

Both my eyes are at plano with monofocal IOLs. My distance vision is excellent. It would be a strain for me to see my monitor without glasses. Prolonged computer use without glasses would probably give me a headache. If you set your dominant eye for distance and non-dominant eye for intermediate vision you would probably be comfortable using the computer without glasses. I had a cataract in one eye only but I chose to have cataract surgery in both my eyes. My post-surgery distance vision in the eye without the cataract is at least as good as my best-correct vision was before surgery. I've never had a problem with my IOLs.
