@@GoodOptometryMorning I am 80 got my cataract done 3 weeks ago. I usually get very concerned about anything regarding health matters , but on this occasion I was not excited or worried in the least , during surgery I experienced some pain on 3 occasions , and after I went home my eye was painful until I took 2 pain killers , the good part 1, I would not hesitate to under go this operation again , 2 my vision was crystal clear the minute I got off the operating table, 3 in the day after the operation I had no pain whatsoever just a little discomfort at times 4 I regret not having it done 4 years previously , the only thing you require to consider is that the nhs procedure only corrects the lens problem , so they are only prepared to pay for that,where on the private side if you pay up to £3,750 an eye they have a big range of lenses to chose from & have the ability to fine tune your requirements where you may not require to wear glasses ,

Thank you so very much for an EXCELLENT explanation of cataracts! I really needed this bc I’ve gradually noticed those exact changes in my vision! Especially concerning colors! I spend lots of time painting landscapes and making colorful beaded jewelry and now I know why I’m losing the ability to see colors with the vibrancy and saturation that I used to. My husband has made comments about some of my paintings telling me that the sky, flowers, or grasses I had painted during a Plein Air painting session were more muted and less vibrant than they actually were. That also explains why I need little flash lights all over the house! And I’ve experienced other symptoms you’ve mentioned and thanks to you, now I know what’s going on with my eyes! I’m so grateful to you!❤

I've worn glasses for myopia since I was about 8 and I'm now 73 - and the result in my left eye was astonishing - life-changing even. I went from -6.25 to 'eagle-eyed' - my logmar score since the op. is around 0.22 to 0.23, which is fantastic. Brilliant work that you do.

I have been having trouble with my vision and as I am a diabetic, I saw my Optometrist last week and was diagnosed with cataracts. No explanation was given of what cataracts were just that I needed surgery to fix it and a prescription for eyeglasses for my worsening astigmatism was given. I told her that let me think on it. So, I was given a follow-up appointment in 6 months, I thank you for the clear and precise explanation about cataracts. I can make an intelligent decision now about my eyes. FYI: she said that my diabetes had not affected my eyes.

@@GoodOptometryMorning : I had a wonderful experience. I wish everyone to have my experience. My doctor was a rock star 2 times so far. My vision went back 20 years and hope it stays that way for another 20. I spent over 100 hours on research. Made my doctor measure 3 times and told him 3 separate times what I want and what I expect. Paid for everything he said will help him and give me the highest chance of success. Did everything I was told to do and made sure to discuss this with the head doctor above us all. My results have been brilliant so far, just like they've been for millions of people this year. But as we all know there are no guarantees in life and that's why I let the doctor do anything he wants as long as it increased my chances.

I went to look for information on the symptoms of cataracts, and Ifound much of this very descriptuve, but in a very helpful way.. Unfortunately, in trying to find out what was going on with my own eyesight, it took the response of several friends and acquaintances who have had cataracts, who seemed to say similar things which matched my own experience so far. I saw none of this mentioned in this video. The most profound comment made was seeing a grayish shadow in the affected eye. It blocked the center of vision. It seemed each person had a different size or area size which was affected, sometimes the shadow is larger, sometimes smaller. Mine is centered right in the middle of my vision In the left eye. It also appears, no matter the size, they also stated seeing what appears to be lightning or swirling lights on the edges, and sometimes right in the middle of this gray shadow. Once they went to see their ophthalmologists, they were diagnosed with cataracts. While I've learned both eyes could be affected, currently it is only what I see in my left eye, and like others they had it in one eye first, and eventually had to have the other replaced (lens). I am thankful there is a remedy. The cataract, while in one eye, affects my overall vision. After all, we are two-eyed creatures. 😉 Thank you for allowing me to share this.

Yours is a valuable addition to what I have learned so far. Still scared, but looking forward to better vision. They found my cataracts 15+ years ago, but I didn't know how much they affected my vision until I went for an exam and new glasses recently. I made the decision many yrs ago, so I went in for a consultation immediately.

I am 82 years old and was diagnosed about 5 years ago with the beginnings of cataract in one eye. Recently I returned to the ophthalmologist about improving my glasses. Apparently the issue was my cataract getting worse and in the other eye also. I have a couple questions that I hope someone with the right info can answer: I still see well enough to drive regularly and read etc. but I wonder at what point do I move to have cataract surgery? Also, I have felt a granular feeling in one eye occasionally for 3 months, is that related to the cataract? I have been using castor oil around that eye, is that just coincidental?

So my opthomologist did cataract surgery on my eyes 2 years ago. I'm now wondering if I even needed it. Did not have the symptoms except dry eyes & glare at night. Neither of these changed after surgery. I was told I had uveitis before the cateracts therefore 3-4 injections in each eye BEFORE he said cataracts. I still have sarcoid uveitis & he says my vision will not get any better. It's extremely frustrating & depressing.

Such a great video! Thank you so much for providing such important information. You effectively summarized and explained symptoms related to cataract. I’ve had double vision for some time now. I’m extremely near sighted and when I had my eyes checked, I was told I had developed cataract in my right eye, but it’s not bad enough to have a surgery. I was sent to see a neuro-ophthalmologist who made me to wear a temporary prism on the right lens of my glasses. Then in the recent weeks, I have started to feel my right lens is cloudy or foggy, as if there were some steam. Also I feel something got in my right eye and I keep rubbing it to do away that. I also see halo around traffic lights or street lights, etc. I don’t know if all of these have to do with the effect of the prism or the fact that the cataract in my right eye is getting worse. But the cataract surgeon says I should wait to do the surgery and get my double vision corrected first by getting a paire of prism glasses first. Btw, I also have astigmatism. Your video makes me think I should deal with the cataract first. So should I go get cataract surgery first or get prism glasses first which are very expensive. I hope you and your audience will provide some input. Btw, I’m 65, too young to develop cataract? Thank you again, doctor.

When I was in third grade, I could see blades of grass on a moonless night. Some artificial light. The last time I drove home at night in the rain was a nightmare. I couldn't see the lines on the road with the oncoming lights, and it was a curved road. 30 mile drive. I swore I would never drive in the rain at night again. But shortly thereafter, my 36 year old car gave up and I declined to fix it. Sometimes I take a taxi at night, and I don't know how the driver can see. I don't like driving anyway. I think the speed limit should be 30. I'm not 70 yet, but this has been going on for years. But now lightng appears a notch lower.

My first symptom was that I closed my left eye and saw three images of a single point light sources in an equilateral triangle.

Can chronic reactivation of herpes virus cause cataracts? I have all the symtoms and are only 40 yeard old. Every time I get a relapse of neuropathies I get red eyes or like pins and needles in the eyes just like on the skin. Pretty subtile. But black look grey, I see halos around lights, starbursts, light seem to "bleed" out in dark enviroments so that it looks like the eniroment looks like it filled with fog/mist.

Serious question: why don’t ophthalmologists perform lens change during vitrectomy surgery? It’s almost guaranteed that vitrectomy surgery speeds up the cataract formation. I went through vitrectomy surgery in January, and cataract surgery 9 months later for a dense cataract. The cataract surgery was 100 times more painful than the vitrectomy surgery. Make it make sense…..

The general philosophy is not to make any procedure more complicated than it needs to be...that reduces the risk of complications.

Cataracts seem to happen mainly in near sighted people and near sightedness seems to get progressively worse.

63 and mine went from moderate to dense in 10 months. (Just had one done and the other in a few weeks). I was originally told by optometrist that they couldn't prescribe glasses anymore. I currently have one eye where my car is white and through the other it is cream colored.

A hint for optometrists: if you have a patient on your "will call" list, do not send that patient a text message. No way a cataeacrive patient can read #6 black font on a white screen. If you send a text message, send it to a friend if the patient who can read it. A hint for patients: get on a "will call" list to get an appointment if someone cancels. Call the office every two or three days to ask where you are on the will call list. I got on the list, got examined and got a surgery appointment in two weeks this way. A friend got an appointment to get examined in November by not doing this.
