1- I keep my laptop at around 16 or 19 or 20 inch from eye.

2- If I choose 20 inch IOL – is it that I will not be able to read from distance less than 20 inch?

3- If I choose 16 inch IOL – Is it that I will not be able to read from 20 inch?

4- What happens if I keep two monitors and choose 20 inch IOL?

5- Will it depend on my pupil movement for near vision?

6- Can I keep my monitor/laptop at same level or when pupil is straight?

7- Do I need to bring my pupil down for near vision?

8- What about TECNIS Symfony® Extended Depth of Focus IOL – Saw some good reviews!

9- I read about macula. Is it normal in my eyes? Due to diabetics will it create any problem in future. Like
operation of multifocal IOL in Dim/low light etc. in future?

10- Laser Cataract Surgery vs Standard Cataract Surgery – Will it be good if I go with Laser assisted Surgery-
LENSAR – I heard the breaking of cataract into pieces involves less energy using LASER? It improves post
healing in few cases and faster recovery. Just need opinion.
