How to reduce reliance on reading glasses after monofocal lens implantationMonofocal Lens
1 week ago
I had cataract surgery with monofocal lens in one eye recently, and the vision feels great for distance but reading is difficult. How long does it take to adapt, and are there tricks to reduce dependency on reading glasses?

It’s normal to need reading glasses after monofocal lens surgery. Your distance vision usually adapts within days, while your brain adjusts to the new visual balance over a few weeks. Good lighting and high-quality reading glasses make near tasks much easier. Most patients find that daily activities quickly become more comfortable, and the combination of sharp distance vision plus simple reading aids greatly improves independence and quality of life.
