Lens Options for Cataract Surgery and Visual Zones EXPLAINED by an MD

Why can I see lens in some people eyes?

I may recommend my cataract patients watch this thorough video.

I;ve had two consultations with my doctor and all she does is let me ask questions. Never explained much at all. This is the clearest explanation I've seen thus far. Wish you were my doctor.

Cool !!

thank you very much for the
significant information. god
bless you.

best video explanation I have seen... thanks

Something wrong with this whole process You’re telling patients to put in an artificial lens but you will need glasses. Pick your poison. See up close or see at distance. And that doesn’t even include all the side effects or complications that can develop. Seems technology has a long ways to go.

Why not the Dr recommend the kind of lens that suits your eye???

i enjoy watching your videos very much, you explain things very well. i would consider doing the cataract surgery, but because of many allergies i am afraid that my body will not accept the new artificial lens. can you please give your opinion doctor.

PS chk with your Ins co. see what they will/wont pay for. The multis are very expnsv and my co wdnt pay. Got near vsn lnses (1 - 2 ft for computer) and Dial Vision glass til I can get pscrptn. They work FINE for 3ft out to looking at the moon. They do have limits tho - some periphrl reflections and smaller visual area (dstortd periphrl.) I dont drive but they wldnt be good!!

I believe Medicare should pay at least the portion of the expense of basic lens for those chosing the lifestyle lens. Medicare and thr insurance companies denial of paying any portion of lifestyle lenses is just a way of increasing their greedy profits at our expense.

Great Video

am a teacher of 58 years old.I have operated my right eye cataract with Acre-soft IQ Toric(2.5 cylinder) Monofocal of 6D. can I implant Alcon Vivity EDOF Toric( 2.5 cylinder) IOL of 8D for my left eye and how it will be suitable for me?.Please guide me as early as possible. I will be very thankful to you.

I will have to have cataract surgery sometime in the near future.I have 2020 vision with my glasses , but iam bothered with glare alot. Thank you for telling me about that intermediate vision.I was a always troubled about not being able to read most items on the shelf in the supermarkets.I never knew why i had the trouble and i never discussed it with my optometrist. Iam happy that can be resolved, but iam extremely anxious over the whole ordeal . Sorry, i do not live in LA.Iam located in New Hampshire .Thanks again!

thank you dr

This is exactly my choice because l have astigmatism therefore l need toric.thanks to my Dr .already chose it for me hopefully this will correct my vision as lam due for surgery next week

very clear and precise explanation doctor I will have my right eye cataract surgery in the next 2 week.

does a multi lens correct for astigmatism? or are toric lens always mono?

How common are dysphotopsias following cataract surgery with the implantation of a monofocal lens? My wife had cataract surgery three years ago and the problem still persists.

Doc i have a cataract surgery in march2 2022 but i suffered for astigmatism headache and discomfort plz advize Doc

Love that southern California accent?? Yep there isn't any that makes it unique..ty for Info

Is the vivity lens a good option ? After comparison to panoptix it seems that vivity is the better choice !

Can I choose 2 mono and 1 for near ;1 for distance ..will my eye not be confused with that?thanks

Waiting for a flexible lens that hooks up with the focusing muscles..

Very very good explanation I need cataract surgery wish I lived closer

Very good right inf you r providing particularly while you r choosing the right lense Thankyou so much

Supraphob regen multifocal lens cost

So when are they going to approve juvene and fluid vision accommodating lenses?

thank you doctor chua ............ now i'm definitely not getting cataract surgery.

Is it possible to remove a previously-implanted mono lens and replace it with a toric lens?

Just Super!

I've worn glasses all my life - prescription around -6 diptre. About 6 years ago I developed cataracts, which have increased my spectacles prescription to about -8. Presumably the cataracts will get worse and I'll need IOL's. I need sharp vision for work. I do at lot of CAD/CAE, so multifocal OIL's are not for me. It would suit me best to be set up for -6 dioptre without glasses and just wear glasses for driving.
Michael, is the availability of monofocal IOLs limited such that asking the eye surgeon for -6 will cause him a problem? Is there any medical problem inserting a -6 lens?

What do u recommend for post RK 30 years ago?
If I have only one eye done monofocal distance can my brain focus both eyes
My left eye 4x worse than my right.

I can see pretty good now with my right eye I can see distance intermediate and close
So not getting it done.

I have seen so many videos where people unhappy with mono distance
I have surgery but paying extra for laser
And then my rk corena is an issue ??

This is the best description I have heard yet. I just got the monofocal lens in both eyes. I wasn't prepared for the lack of clear vision in the intermediate and near ranges and really hate having to carry multiple glasses with me and changing them continually. So I'm going to see if I can get glasses I can wear all the time that have progressive lenses!! I hope so.

Thank you

Have you placed the RxSight iol in a patient yet? If so, what do you think of it? I like the idea that adjustments can be made after surgery. I am also aware that with a standard toric lens, it can rotate as the eye heals after surgery reducing its effectiveness. How common or rare is this? It seems like the RxSight addresses that. I was considering a Eyhance toric lens. Finally, if I were to try a minimono I could see if I like it and if not, change it back. Could not do that with any other lens besides RxSight.

Thanks for this video Michael. I also saw the question from Joel and am somewhat worried about the effect of the Eyhance Toric IOL with regards to frequent activities quickly reading a short text on my smartwatch and reading papers in the office whilst also working on a computer. Would it be possible for you to also respond to this? I don't mind using glasses sometimes, but I would prefer not to be forced to put them on and off continually..

Nice presentation. What is you opinion of the Tecnis Eyhance IOL? Would this slightly advanced monofocal IOL be appropriate for a myopic patient with the end goal of -2.00 to -2.50 diopter rx? Thank you.
