Will monofocal lenses help seniors regain near-normal vision?Monofocal Lens

My mother is emotionally anxious about surgery because she fears losing independence. Can monofocal lenses actually restore vision to near-normal levels for elderly patients, or will she still need help for daily activities?

Monofocal lenses restore clear distance vision reliably, which is essential for independence. Reading glasses may still be needed, but many elderly patients can cook, walk, and perform household tasks without assistance. Improved vision often boosts confidence and reduces anxiety. The overall quality of life usually improves, and patients regain a sense of control and safety in their daily routine.
