My symptoms seem to be reoccuring in my right eye. Cataract surgery in 2019 (both eyes).. YAG procedure in 2024 (both eyes)... Right eye is blurry in 2025. Possibly another YAG procedure?

For a diabetic pt.with glaucoma minor astigmatism (wearing 2diopter bifocal glasses)What would be best lens option for cataract surgery?.Would Torac lens be a good option?.

This highly informative video - best one out there! - managed to considerably quell my anxiety over impending cataract surgery. Well done…thank you!

Thank you so much

Are these eye drops suitable for people who've had cataract surgery with a lens implant and have retinal issues?

hi as of this video- how many adjustable lenses have you installed?

ok and how much more are the johnson and johnson lenses?

hi how much extra are the light adjustable lenses for people on medicare?

Im about to have the lal surgery in my dominant eye in a few weeks. I am thinking of lal+ in my none dominant eye. thoughts on this strategy ? Ive never had lasik or any other eye surgery.

You’re a wonderful doctor! Thanks for sharing the wisdom

Eyes for me have always been an issue. Glasses at age 9 and when I was -8 in both eyes, in 1990 I did RK surgery which was only partially of value and over the years created a lot of issues including carrying around almost half a dozen glasses from +1.25 to +6 (prescription). After being diagnosed with cataracts, two months ago was the second eye at Prism Eye care and the result has been very good so far although early in the day I still need +6 and sometimes a magnifying glass to read the newspaper. Later on (hour or so) I can begin to reduce the power of readers and get to a point of not needing glasses at all. Unfortunately, my peripheral vision is not sufficient to allow me to regain my driver's license so I rely upon my wife who had laser cataract surgery about 7 years ago and has perfect vision both distance and reading. Not cheap! Would be nice to know if there is anything that can be done to improve peripheral vision. Floaters now are not an issue but had been for most of my life previous to the current surgery. One bonus eh?

I admit I didn't watch the video. That's because I already had cataract surgery. My mom told me it was no worse than going to the market - she was right. But the best part is that they implant permanent lenses so I now have the best sight I have ever had in my life. So I'm a huge fan of cataract surgery.

Simple answer, NO.

Thanks Dr Lee for telling me about cataracts I'm facing that surgery trying to put ot off as long as I can

Had a Alcon vivity Monofocal with EDOF implanted 3 days Back.

Hi Dr. Lee, Thank you for your informative video. I went to my eye surgeon today to do measurements for my cataract surgery. She suggested I choose the LAL+. When I went for the consultation a couple of months ago, she said monofocal lenses with blended vision would work well for me. It turns out that she just started to offer LAL like this week. I was wondering it is reasonable for me to ask her if she had training on how to do LAL adjustment.

That annoyed my eye

My parents both had lasar cataract surgery. My dad had both eyes, then had problems after. My mom had one eye done lasar, had problems, and had the second surgery "regular". You can see the difference in her eyes.

Which one be good for someone who has mild myopia (-1.8) with good cornea thickness?

I’m so confused🥺

Okay. You talked me out of getting it done. Seriously, why haven't you analyzed and reported on who has the bad effects? Can't you identify who might have these bad side effects?

I think that asking a patient to pay extra for Intraoperative aberrometry, a proceedure that makes the surgery easier and more accurate by the surgeon, is ridiculous. The surgeon should not be charging each patient who is willing to pay the fee for equipment that makes measuring the strength of the IOL more accurate. If a particular scalpel used by the surgeon makes his work easier and more accurate a patient shouldn't be responsible for buying a scalpel for the doctor. That's exactly what is being asked of the patient when presented the option to pay the doctor $500 for measuring with Intraoperative aberrometry during cataract surgery.

I did lasik one eye, prk the other +20 years ago. Now i need glasses, for medium to long distance (near sighted) what i hear from this its recomended to do monofocal or edof? Anything else to think about .. im 50 yrs.

Pano mag order mag kano po?

Being a two year old vid I doubt anyone will see this comment but I will post anyway. I am a 61yro developing cataracts. The lines of siding on my neighbor's house are disappearing. Glare from street lamps, vehicle lights and sun reflections are fractured in the past year. I can hardly see the keys on this phone to post this comment. I have an appointment with VA optometry on the 15th. My vision used to be 20/15. As a kid I'd been proud of that. (Whatever "that" is). I also have more floaters than I care for. The first time I ignored a floater over my coffee it turned out to be a housefly. Unconsciously I bit into it absently thinking it was a lump of Coffee Mate... (((crunch))). I haven't used an artificial creamer since. I hope this surgery goes well. Thanks for the heads up. 🎉

Thanks a lot Dr

These steps do not prevent cataract

waste of time

Many thanks, great video❤

TIP: RefreshPlus vials have no preservatives. I had LASIK surgery in 2004, after which I needed eye drops for dry eyes. It took a couple of months to find eye drops that do not contain preservatives. The RefreshPlus drops in the bottle do, but the ones in the vials do not. So, I buy the 100-vial box from Costco. They are good for about 8-10 drops per vial. I use them first thing in the morning, and whenever I feel I need them. It’s not very environmentally friendly, but it helps so much.

Thank you so much for this video. I needed to know the information you shared.

Bro i get huge ass styes on my eyes beneath and above without peace...

I’ve worn glasses or contacts since I was 9 - and have astigmatism. Now have “extremely” slight cataracts. I’m excited for surgery - with corrective lenses! so I can finally see when I get up in the morning. And I don’t really care how much it costs

Can the LAL lens correct for astigmatism, such as the Vivity premium EDOF lens can? --Thanks

If I want light adjustable lenses and have moderate astigmatism, is traditional cataract surgery sufficient?

If you want Light Adjustable Lenses and have moderate astigmatism, would traditional cataract surgery be sufficient?

I will be getting basic cataract surgery after researching others that have paid enormous amounts of money for the specialized lenses. Out of 10, 9 regret paying for the specialized lenses and going into debt to cover the ridiculous costs of the specialized lenses. The doctors make a good piece of change selling you on these "specialized" lenses even when many do not work as they say. The other thing is, there is no redo of these costly lenses unless you pay again. Not going to fill my doctors pocket for something I found no one was happy with.

How many of the people who are not happy with cataract surgery appropriately treated their eyes with the drops their doctor gave them before the pre-surgery exam? The measurements taken then are critical.

When it is dark u see small gray dots

Thankfully YT ended up placing this video on my feed.

As soon as you said safe and effective 🤣🥵💉💉

hello I had hydrops of the cornea and now I have a scar under the pupil, my vision has improved but it is very bad especially in the evening, it has been 3 months since the hydrops started, but I am wondering if the lenses will help to improve my vision

Thanks. Good information

Wish my ophtamologist was more thorough in explaining expectations and any common or uncommon side effects. A monofocal lense was never discussed, although I probably would not have chosen that. So many people I spoke to had such amazing results it raised my expectations even more. As always, ASK QUESTIONS! Better before than after.

Two years after removing both cataracts, I have chronic dry eyes with frequent red veins and soreness, and the area around my pupils has never again been clear and white. I am left with bigger floaters than I had before which, contrary to hopes and advice, have stayed. My short sight is hopeless sans my specs and, while I no longer need them for legal driving, on balance I wish I had held out until the situation became unsustainable.

My wife a bone marrow transplant survivor had a recent cataract surgery. Her eye became infected and the dr was doing his best to save her eye which he did successfully. Now my wife wants nothing to do with surgery for the other eye. Maybe we will have it done at Cleveland Clinic main campus where she had her bone marrow transplant

Had mine this past Monday and I have been diagnosed with negative dysphotopsia. Dr said it should work itself out within 3 months. I hope so because it's very distracting. Had a retinal detachment a little less than a year ago and my vision is better now than it has been since that, so I'm still glad that I got the cataract surgery

Is PRK and Lasek are one and same??
