Choosing an IOL
1. I want a Foldable,Unifocal, Toric, Aspheric, Hydrophobic IOL. A UB or Blue filter will reduce light to retina. As I age (currently 63) this will get worse. Will choosing No filter IOL be advisable?
2. I want to wear eyeglasses only for distance and not for near and intermediate (computer) distance. I also do not want progresses eyeglasses. Is this possible?
