OT: Eye cataracts

I'm wondering if anyone here has had eye cataract surgery, and if there are any recommendations for what type works more effectively with digital graphics. I'm confused about the several options for lens replacements.

    Due to taking prednisone for a few years, I've needed cataract surgery in both eyes, but can't speak to different option types. My replacements were tiny liquid sacks and work very well. My only side effect is halos around strong lights at night, but they do not impede any of my activities.

    I had both my eyes done in 2009. My dr implanted AcrySofIQ lenses. I haven't had any problems and sailed right through. It has really been a joy to see again. BTW, I'm 71.

    thank you for responding to my post. I figured DAZ forum folks would know what worked for them for graphics interface.

    do you happen to have blue eyes or light colored eyes?

    I was just wondering if it was similar to what can happen with LASIK. I had it several years ago, and I have get haloing occasionally. I have light blue/gray eyes and people with light eyes tend to have pupils that dilate larger.
