Post Cataract Lens Replacement
Do you need glasses after cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, many people still benefit from wearing glasses—how much depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you received and how your eye heals.
✔️ You might need glasses for:
- Reading and close-up work
- Distance vision if your monofocal IOL was set for near
- Astigmatism correction unless handled with a toric lens
- Intermediate tasks like computer work
- Driving, particularly at night
✔️ You might not need glasses if:
- You received multifocal, trifocal, or EDOF lenses
- You chose monovision
- Your astigmatism was fully corrected with a toric IOL
⏱️ When can you get new glasses?
Your prescription usually stabilizes 4–6 weeks after surgery. That’s when most people get their updated glasses.
Common types of post-surgery glasses
- Reading glasses
- Distance-only glasses
- Progressives
- Computer lenses
- Over-the-counter readers
⭐ Cheshire Reglaze – a convenient option after cataract surgery
If you already have frames you love, Cheshire Reglaze can update them with lenses tailored to your new vision—without the cost of buying new glasses.
Their service includes:
- Fitting your updated post-surgery prescription into your existing frames
- Providing all lens types: reading, distance, progressives, computer lenses
- Offering premium coatings for enhanced clarity
- Convenient mail-in reglazing to save time and money
- We can replace one lens after surgery if only one eye has changed or you’re still waiting for the second eye’s procedure
- Giving you a budget-friendly way to maintain good vision as your eyes stabilize
This is especially helpful if you’ve only had one eye operated on or if the two eyes are
Do I need thinner lenses?
✅ You might benefit from thinner/high-index lenses if:
-
Your prescription is strong (typically worse than −3.00 for nearsightedness or +3.00 for farsightedness).
-
Your lenses feel heavy or make the glasses slide down your nose.
-
The edges of your lenses look thick and you want a slimmer look.
-
You have astigmatism (especially above 2.00), which can increase lens thickness.
❓ If you want, you can tell me:
-
Your prescription (SPH, CYL, and PD if you know it)
-
Your frame style (full rim, semi-rimless, rimless)
-
Whether you want lighter weight, better appearance, or both

Night Driving
For indivuals who spend prolonged periods behind the wheel of their car, DriveVision single vision and progressive lenses for driving can offer the visual support they need.
Common Problems of Night Driving
1. Reduced Visibility
Low light conditions make it harder to see road markings, pedestrians, obstacles, and hazards. Even with headlights, the range of visibility is limited compared to daytime.
2. Increased Glare
Oncoming headlights, streetlights, and reflective surfaces can create uncomfortable glare. This can momentarily blind or distract drivers, making it difficult to keep focus on the road.
3. Poor Contrast Perception
Objects blend into darker surroundings, making it harder to judge distances and detect movement. Reduced contrast sensitivity is especially challenging on poorly lit or rural roads.
4. Slower Reaction Times
Because the eyes struggle more in low light, the brain processes visual information more slowly. This can delay reaction times during unexpected events.
5. Eye Fatigue
Focusing in low-light conditions makes the eyes work harder, leading to dryness, strain, and faster fatigue—especially on long journeys.
6. Age-Related Vision Changes
Night driving becomes more challenging with age. Conditions like reduced pupil size, decreased contrast sensitivity, and early cataracts increase glare and decrease clarity.
7. Weather Amplifies Issues
Rain, fog, and wet roads greatly worsen nighttime visibility by scattering light, creating reflections, and reducing contrast even further.
8. Difficulty Judging Speed and Distance
With fewer visual cues and limited depth perception in the dark, estimating the speed of oncoming vehicles or the distance to objects becomes more difficult.
