Thanks, hope that's helpful, now the qualifiers- I'm not a physician nor specialized in that field,and cannot give medical advice on the record- actually run a Radiology dept, with clinical duties. However, I have done research in a number of areas. So ryantoworkman, I would ask the Dr. if there are different types of multifocal lenses and what their history has been- sounds like you need this procedure fairly soon. I will say that wheras there is somewhat of a fixed focal ability with the cataract lenses, a key is that the brain is able to correct quite well and reconcile the differential nicely between my "driving lens" right eye, and "reading lens" left eye, and although both can do both duties independantly, it's pretty seamless integrated, so if your physician feels you are a candidate for a good result, it may be presently appropriate.
Django, if indeed you are facing corneal transplant surgery (keratoplasty), this is different, and I assume has more risks than routine cataract surgery. In cases of cataract surgery, the risk of infection with the contact lens, plus the degradation of that lens during its span of use would have to enter into the equation vs. the procedure risks.
Good luck both!
