Could you explain the difference between the Alcon Clareon lens and the Alcon AcrySof IQ lens for cataract surgery? I'm trying to figure out which one might be better and which is the newest option available.

View allI'm noticing that one of my eyes seems to have a wider visual field than the other, way more than usual. It's like the peripheral view in that eye is much larger compared to the other one. Should I be concerned about this? What kind of eye problems could this indicate?

I'm a bit confused about my recent eye test results. I went to Titan Eye and they said my vision is 2.00 on both sides, so I ordered glasses based on that. But a few days later, during a family checkup, another eye test showed my vision as 1.50. When I asked Titan Eye about this, they mentioned that a variation of 0.25 or 0.50 is normal and suggested that wearing 2.00 glasses wouldn't harm my eyes. But I'm not quite convinced. Is it really okay to wear glasses with a slightly higher power, like 2.00 instead of 1.50? Do you think its better to stick with a 1.50 power for reading, or should I consider progressive lenses? I've tested with another doctor who also said it's 1.50. What's your advice on the best route to take here?
You go according to ophthalmologist opinion , sometimes technicians may not do it properly.. .minor variation will be there in all test, its interobsever variation.... Results also depends on type of test whether it's just a chart test or slit lamp test..
