Performance improvement of a different nature...I hope

Due to the natural forces of aging I have elected to have intraocular lens replacements(folded type) in both my eyes in an attempt to restore my vision and rid myself of glasses forever.At this point with the second surgery only a few days old I have already achieved 20/20 vision in my left eye(first) and expect comparable results in my right eye over the next few days and my glasses are now in the garbage can.
I was wondering if anyone else out there in Husa-world has had this procedure performed and specifically what effect it has on your ability to ride and see, at speed, on your motorcycle. My surgeon elected to use medium range lenses in both my eyes.

Tm-enduro,
Thanks for your reply,I did not require glasses until I was 35 yrs old,but in the last 5 years I too found that with the required fully blended lenses that my vision had narrowed to two narrow focal points.The thrill of ripping down a rough trail with your glasses bouncing all over the place is a thrill I will not miss.I too feel that I may have a challenge focusing at all ranges as IOL is only capable of perfect focus in a specific range.

The term 20/20 refers to the established data gathered over the years of what a person sees.Example: 20/20 means that you see at 20 feet distance what the average person sees at 20 feet distance.20/40 means that you see at 20 feet what the average person sees at 40 feet .In europe where metric measurement is used I believe the term for normal vision is 6/6.

Viking,
Thanks for your reply,my surgeon used the same or very close lenses in both eyes.So far my vision is very good at close range and I seem to be able to read all but the finest print with no glasses.Only thing I think I may need a little tweaking is my medium to long range vision,it is not as sharp as I would like. There is a good chance I may use glasses for driving/riding. I borrowed a pair of glasses from a young fellow that is in my employ this morning who said he needs glasses only for distance and they really improved vision from 50 ft to the horizon.His glasses are very light wt. so that is a option.
I am aware of the retinal detachment issues,they are very rare, was there any any special circumstances in your case?

Just an update for anyone thinking of having this procedure.It is now 19 days since my left eye and 11 days since my right eye.The vision in my left eye is now 20/15 and 20/25 in my right eye. I do have and have always had mild stigmatism in my right eye(shaped like a football).At this point my vision is as good as it ever was with glasses and as good as it ever was without glasses as far as I can remember.My eyesight continues to improve and is especially good in the mornings in good light conditions.Two differences are that it took some time to get used to having peripheral vision again,glasses frames and the effect that glasses have on the eye muscles have a negative effect on this feature.Next is that i use my eye muscles again to focus instead of simply moving my eyes to a different point in the lens as you do when wearing blended eye glasses,I found that my eyes would feel tired but this diminishes each day. At this point I do not require glasses at all expect to read very fine print,I will now conclude this(road) test of this procedure. FWIW i chose my surgeon carefully I was looking for a man(bigger ego than a women)who was at the top of his game between the age of 36-42 who specialized in this procedure ,I found him and he did a great job.
