He had extreme myopia exceeding −10 D, so there was a risk of lens power deviation, but by combining several formulas the power came out as he wished, and he was satisfied.

Patient questionnaire

Answers translated from Japanese.

What was your condition before surgery?

In the year before surgery my vision kept dropping. Things were blurry and looked doubled or tripled and enlarged, and I was very worried.

What led you to have surgery?

It was interfering with my life, so I wanted it improved with treatment such as surgery.

Which did you choose, a multifocal lens or a monofocal lens?

Monofocal lenses. I judged that monofocal lenses would be enough.
