Cataract and lens replacement day of surgery and postoperative instructions. 1-9-2018

[@elcordobes-i1h]

The medical community wonders people go on the net rather than talking to their doctors. Well, here's why. The doctors rush you by while the net gives you detailed info. Well done, Dr. Wong.

[@julespeace684]

I so agree with you.

[@julespeace684]

Dr. Wong, you’re awesome, THANK YOU 🤙🏽

[@kimlersue]

My doctor took great time with me. His initial appointments for pre-surgery work up and choices schedule for well over 2 hours!

[@helenpalad1699]

Thank you Dr.Wong. You explained it very clearly. I'm having my cataract surgery next week.

[@ursulak.2691]

@@helenpalad1699 how did it go?

[@danielclooney6248]

Dr Wong, I cannot thank you enough for this video. You spoke about the details that I'm sure many Drs don't take the time to explain fully enough; or they go so fast an older person cannot absorb or remember. I've saved this video in case I need to watch it again. You made me feel so relaxed about my surgery tomorrow morning. Thank you again.

[@harleyhawkeye01]

Hello ! I have Refresh Advance ( less than 3 years) not work, tried another , got swallow allergy after back to Dr.eye gave me Refresh PM five time a days before surgery contract by Dec 9 th.

Do we have to be awake during the surgery?

[@dianne7250]

[@keilana6]

It would help if they would at least give patient a informational sheet pre & post op to supplement lack of clarity the surgeon gives. Appreciate videos but still haven't found anything about effect of pollen on eye post op.

[@aliciasanburn8026]

I could listen to dr wong all day. He’s so reassuring and helpful.

[@carolrossi5861]

If only I had seen and heard your video, pre and post op care, my stress would have been greatly decreased! My Dr. Rushed me through my first visit and was too busy writing to explain things face to face. I had to ask all the questions and again, I felt I inconvenienced him and left feeling stressed. Once I was being prepped on the table on the day of surgery, it was again a whorl wind of hands all over me and I was still trying to ask questions and wanted to see a few pictures of procedure so as to allay my fears. My answer was, “why didn’t you watch You Tube,”. Wish I was told that info BEFORE I saw Dr. For the first time!!!! The other thing is that senior folks like me aren’t all that savvy about the things you can find online. So glad I found your very informative video. Thank you. The more tools you can give to the pt. the better. Carol

[@gerryryan6988]

I found this video an hour before I left for my surgery. Dr. Wong told me much more than my doctor had. I'm no longer scared now that I know what's coming and what to do. Wonderful video! Thank you Dr. Wong.

[@Sooz1234]

I have my surgery coming up in a week, and my doctor hasn't covered any of this material. Thank you for your reassuring presence on KZbin!

[@danev1969]

Dr. Wong, I am forwarding your video to our Ophthalmologist who did my wife's cataract surgery this morning. I would recommend your video to every cataract patient prior to surgery. You told us many things to be aware of that were just glossed over by the team helping my wife. My guess is that they do so many surgeries each day that to them most of this is "obvious". Truth is, for most of us there is more than a little trepidation and mystery. Thank you.

[@ShannonWongMD]

Thank you Dan!

[@mdmonowar7339]

Hello the best info that ive ever had was with the great gazer fix (just google it) - I found it the most useful idea that I've tried.

[@wallys11000]

Dan~ Trepidation is right. That's why I've been putting it off. I'm 67 and still can see but things are getting pretty grey.

[@MrWholdaway]

Pleasant experience for you? Anytime someone has to touch my eyes 👀 is NOT a pleasant experience. I have cataract surgery next Monday. I am looking forward to the results of the surgery, but NOT the actual surgery

[@jimmyribble6332]

You deserve a public award of some kind. Thank-you...so much. This was so helpful...my first day/night after lens replacement. The awe I experienced today looking with clear vision ..the awe of the children of Abraham walking through the split red sea, the awe at the rising of stinking dead Lazerus after theee days in the tomb, THAT kind of awe at what you did/do...on my vision.

[@noriherrera4603]

Hello I’m blind of one eye yesterday I had cataract surgery in my “good eye” . Today I went for post op check up, and now I have 20/20 vision first time in my life that I can see clear. You explained everything so well. Thank you Doctor!

[@aanaperdigao]

Thank you for writing this, Nori. I'm blind of 1 eye Too. I had retina detachment in my left eye (when i was born). In my right eye I had it too, but we discovered earlier and I got laser surgery, a few times. So now I have cataract in my good eye. I have myopia in my good eye too (-11 😢). And I'm afraid of post op. There is more risk of retina detachment, but at the same time I have to do the surgery because cataract is advancing. Blurred vision, double vision, its sucks. 😢 it's difficult to read, even near my eye. My glasses don't serve anymore 😂 while I'm writing this comment, I see double vision. And I'm freaking out. My vision now 20/60, my normal is 20/40. Doctor said that lens could correct my myopia (less or none glasses). Seeing your comment e watching this video made me calm down.

[@veenahalady2144]

Thanks Dr. Wong for this excellent, detailed explanation that really put my mind at ease about cataract surgery. You obviously care about your patients. Wish there were more doctors like you out there. God bless you.

[@eqlzr2]

This is one of the most extremely useful videos on youtube, thx. Every single opthalmologist should be required to show this video to their own patients, or make one similar that is at least as comprehensive. Also, they should be required to discuss the lens options in detail, their relative risks, benefits, and limitations, and the out of pocket costs. These are very substantial issues of great importance to people on fixed incomes and/or who rely on their vision professionally. Informed consent demands it, and every patient has the right to expect it from their surgeon. Again, many thx.

[@ml.5200]

Thank you , dr. Wong, very informative.

[@Sasbie65]

👍🏼💯

[@razrsharkvideo]

Dr. Wong, I have watched all of your videos that you have so thoughtfully made for cataract surgery candidates. I want to thank you, as they have put me at ease as to what to expect prior, during and after the procedure. My surgery was just performed 4 days ago and it went exactly as you have said, there were no surprises, thanks to your information provided. You are a credit to your profession!

[@nhlakeskier8878]

I’m an optometrist who recently had cataract surgery myself. EXCELLENT job covering 99% of potential questions that patients would have. Many surgeons give patients 3 separate bottles rather than the PGB combo drop (PGB more expensive)...just might mention that

[@MargueriteFairProductions]

I had two cataract surgeries. Even after the first eye was done, I was laying in my bed 3 hours later, and noticed my scarf on the desk, the colors were brilliant, I didn't even know how beautiful the scarf was! The next morning, it was still a little clouded, but by the time I got back home from the follow up appointment I could see everything!

[@secretofsinging]

Thank you for your meticulous explanation...it is unusual to have a doctor who explains things so well. Again, THANK YOU.

[@josephinefagbemi9167]

This is a wonderful presentation from a competent and sympathetic professional..I wish him continuous success in his loved profession.

[@carolsparks7286]

This is such a valuable video. All doctors should provide this for their patients - a lot is thrown at you when you are groggy after surgery. Thank you - it was so helpful to me.

[@1456Sassy]

Thank you for such a detailed video on post op care. From putting the shield on to using the drops correctly, made a huge difference. The first time I tried putting the shield on, it just didn't feel right and shifted when I lay down. If I could, I'd give a thousand thumbs up. My instructions, were to just use the shield when I sleep, for at least a week and wear my glasses or sunglasses during the day. I can't believe the difference the surgery made. I didn't realize how bad my vision was getting and am ready for the surgery on the other eye.

[@keilana6]

My shield was taken off day after surgery. Would have preferred to keep it on a couple days.

[@gerriwohltmann339]

I’m going to be rewatching this video many times prior to my surgery date. My opthalmologist is very busy and I’m thankful you took the time to explain the nuts and bolts of cataract surgery, patient preparation beforehand, day of, and the following one to two months. Thank you so much for your thorough explanation.

[@brandystevens805]

Doc looks cool in those shades!! I just had both of my eyes done and I hope people listen to these instructions bc they are very important although I had the dropless cataract surgery which I recommend highly to anyone thinking of having this done, it's worth it I went from one having no vision to 20/30 24hrs post op, and 20/200 to 20/20 24hrs post op! Thank God for opthalmologists!!! God bless you all!!!

[@BornFree0731]

Dr. Shannon Wong is a fantastic and caring doctor. He did my Lasik in 2004. I am developing cataracts and will be coming back to him for this, maybe soon.

While i am very pleased with my doctor, i have to say this is the most helpful, informative and comforting video and wish i knew about it prior to surgery. Dr. Wongs patients are quite lucky. Thank you so much and God Bless you !

[@wildchild9675]

Dr. Wong, Just saw your video today. I cannot thank you enough! For answering so many questions which I had. Yesterday I had cataract surgery on one of my eyes. Today was my follow up. The only instructions the surgeon gave me was "do not get your eye wet, Put in this drops and here's this eye patch" (No glasses, no kit, no tape or explanation on eye patch) and "I'll see you in 2 weeks". I thank god I'm seeing much much better, But pre and post surgery I knew most of the questions which I asked were not answered properly or at all. I didn't know what to make of it. But after seeing your video, I know I was right about asking the questions i managed to ask. This is one of those times I Thank god for youtube! I am sure your video has and will have individuals better prepared when considering cataract surgery. It has helped me a great deal THANK YOU!!!! Keep up the great work! and god bless!

[@Delta1Duck]

Dr. Wong, many thanks to you for taking the time to record this video sharing your expertise and medical information/instruction. You have clarified several points for me.

[@traciejones3375]

Thank you so much for this video. I had my second eye done yesterday and all went well! I was terrified of having this done but this video and the comment section helped immensely. The surgeries were painless and although the time between the 2 was hard due to differences in vision (I had to get a temporary contact for one eye to drive), now vision is perfect! I'm hoping it stays exactly as it is now. For the 1st time since I've been 6 yrs old I can see when I wake up. Thanks to the opthalmic community for this technology!

[@annemeridien3384]

This is a great video. I just finished my two cataract surgeries. I had one small concern about one eye, and you answered it, saving me an extra trip to the eye doctor. As everyone else posts, your video was better than the instructions from my surgery center. I am amazed at the results, and my heart breaks for people who do not have access to great surgeons, or who cannot afford the co-pays. Even worse, if they don't have insurance. I wonder how many seniors are driving around with impaired vision. I am so glad that I had this surgery. I barely need glasses, just for very small print.

[@LindaVeeSado]

I am lucky to have gone somewhere that they spent a ton of time with me explaing everything, but I still wanted to watch this incase I missed something. I was putting the eye shield on wrong even if it did work, but this looks easier and way less tape than I was using. I am having my other eye done in two days. It is miraculous what they can do now. I was awake and chatting with the doctor the entire time he did it and I also had my astigmatism laser corrected with it. I never had to ask for the Twilight sleep though they did have it hooked up. It is that fast painless. This is a great video for those who didn't get such precise instruction or don't remember them all. However everything looked bright purple to me after. I had 20/25 when I went in the next day and he said it will get even better since I still have cornea swelling from the laser. Don't be afraid people. It is wonderful to see like a teenager again and thanks for the video

What a terrific video - thank you! I had my first eye done about five weeks ago; the second one will be done mid-January. I wish I had seen this video prior to my surgery, though my surgeon pretty much told me what you've shared. My doctor gave me a prescription for three different eye drops (prednisolone, vigamox and nevanac), which I had to take for a total of five weeks; having one bottle would have been preferable, and so much easier. I also had IV sedation for the procedure, so was out the whole time (which thrilled me). Because my eye was quite irritated, my doctor suggested using a humidifier, as well as gel drops, which I did, and helped tremendously. Because I have a very high prescription, I've been wearing a contact lens in my non-operated eye, to even things out, so to speak. A week ago, I developed conjuctivitis in that eye. I realized pretty quickly what it was, so started using the Vigamox and wore an eye patch at night. I was worried about it moving to the recently operated eye, but fortunately, it didn't. Eye is fine now. Loved this video. Rhonda

Outstanding video! My Ophthalmologists office is like an assembly line. I doubt that I’ll receive this level of instruction before surgery. Thank You for posting.

Same. I developed scar tissue after surgery will have to get laser in a few months. My doct rushes me but he was suggested by two sixties so I stuck with him

Dear Doctor, thank you for your help, advice and excellent clip. I had a cataract and IOL back in `86 and `87 here in Australia This was the early days when they would do the procedure 6 months apart. Unfortunately for me the left eye was a failure, as from it my vision is the same. However the right eye works well and the only drawback is that I have a daylight only drivers license. My biggest problem at that time for about two years was that at night my vision was like streaks when looking at a street light for example. I was 42 y/o then. Cheers, Alf.

I did my surgery a month ago and really appreciate your video. You are so reassuring and helpful.

I am having my left eye done this Thursday morning. I am very scared because I had a retinal detachment when I was very young. (over 40 years ago) and a few repairs since then. I am faithful with eye checkups and eye care. But still, cataract surgery frightens me because it seems like a mystery. Your video has helped me tremendously, especially about what to expect right after surgery. Thank you so much .

I am between surgeries on both eyes. This is the most helpful information I have received to date. I wish my surgeon used the 3 in 1 drops that you have. I have to administer 11 drops a day from 4 bottles. Thank you dearly.

I got no instructions on drops till next day drops went down my tear ducts and made me have metallic taste. No instructions on eye guard. You cleared all my questions and I thank you so much

THIS was super helpful! I appreciated your thoroughness and your care that shown through. You've given me confidence to go through with my refractive lens exchange surgery. Lots of doctors could learn a lot from your patience and thoroughness. Blessings
