Useful video. That’s right. I have been doing Vivity in dominant eye and Panoptix in the other in some of maya patients for a while. My patients are highly satisfied with that.

I had Vivity lenses implanted 5 months ago. I had a lot of dysphotopsia especially at night. I couldn’t drive at night for a few months. It has gotten a lot better now and I feel fairly comfortable driving at night. At first I questioned my decision, but am actually very happy with my vision now. It took a while though. I wasn’t one of those people who was ecstatic right off the bat. I’m 20/25 in one eye and 20/20 in the other eye. If you’re having problems maybe give your eyes and brain some time to get it together.

I am scheduled to have Vivity in both eyes, but after watching this video I am wondering if I should choose Vivity in the dominant eye and PanOptix in the other eye. I am young, 48 years old, and use the computer a lot and read a lot. Is this the best combination for me?

I had no cataracts but wanted to get out of glasses and paid $7k to have PanOptix implanted in my right eye in Oct of 2022 and was planning to pay another $7k for PanOptix in my left eye 1 week later. I was not happy with the PanOtix at first and felt that it was a substantial reduction in my vision quality. Halos were a bit overwelming at times but have gotten better. I have gotten by for a year and a half with PanOptix in my right and and a contact in my left eye corrected for distance. I'm pretty happy with PanOptix now and considering Vivity in my left eye. I would do PanOptix in the left too if it wasn't for the halos at night. The Vivity/PanOptix combo seems to be the way to go IMO. It takes time for our brain to get used to the lenses. I also believe that folks that have cataracts and go to PanOptix or Vivity would be blown away but I had crystal clear vision with glasses and therefor saw this as a downgrade at first until I got used to it. I do LOVE not dealing with glasses.

I was all set for my cataract surgery electing to go with PanOptix in both eyes. After doing a marathon session on YouTube videos of all available premium lenses at the time (two years ago), I decided to do Vivity in my dominant eye, PanOptix the other eye.

My surgeon supported and commended my decision, as a way to minimize halos at nighttime. Very happy with the results! I’m now lamenting that I had not waited for the new Clearview lenses that came out this year, which virtually eliminates halo effects, because they have no rings in their design…😢😅

I have vivity - moderately happy. My eyes have gotten more dry and from what I understand vivity depends upon moisture for good focus. That is a problem with dry eyes, that's been my experience. Didn't know I could mix/match lens. Wish I had done PanOptix in one eye, or both, but halos at night would not be good either. I paid an additonal $4K - that's part of my dissatisfaction with the results.

[mrunderhood]

I have the Vivity lens in my right eye. It focuses at 15 to 20 inches and is blurring at any other range and halos at night. It was not worth the $5, 000.00 I paid three years ago. It is difficult to get good advice from Texas Laser's doctors until after I got the lens and then I got excuses. They are more interested in their profit than giving you the very best vision possible in my opinion.

[DJ-Illuminate]

I am pushed to the Vivity but I want to be able to read without glasses. I hope this isn't a mistake.

What lens would you recommend to a patient with hyperopia? Thanks

[davidgroncki]

If I am a pool player who really needs to see between say 2 and 10 feet crisply, are either of these lens better than the other? Does intermediate distance cover the 2 foot starting distance?

[earistianreyes]

What happened if you Choose both of one for the left ang one for the right

[damtse]

If you choose vivity in one eye and panoptics in the other, halos will still be seen right?

[danmwrn]

My doctor recommends the Panoptic lens for both eyes. He mentioned the night time issues of halos and glare. Does this improve (decrease) over time? Does this disappear completely?
