I am disappointed that my eye surgeon did not explain much to me. I appreciate your education as I am about to have the surgery.

[@tailzzzzz]

I have both cataracts and macular degeneration (dry form), diagnosed in my late 40's to early 50's. I forget exactly. No surgery or treatment for either yet. At some point in my 30's I began to notice that my hit-you-in-the-face green eyes had developed some coppery brown spokes (some wide) and some coppery brown splotches (close to the pupil), more on the left side, the eye with the macular degeneration. They almost all disappeared around the time I was diagnosed with both of these conditions. My eyes are no longer as green too. I mentioned this to my eye doctor, and he must be misunderstanding me. He shined a light on his own eye and showed me how his own eyes are various colors. These colors were in rings, however, not spokes and splotches. He has brown eyes, but with the light on his eye, there was a thin blue circle around the outer colored portion, then brown, then a slightly thicker ring of gold around his pupil. This is not what I was seeing in the mirror with my own pupils. They weren't rings. They were wide coppery brown spokes and splotches scattered about. How do I explain this to him? He also doesn't believe me when I tell him that I can watch TV and read the clock on the wall from across the room while wearing my computer/reading bifocals. He says that's impossible, but I even drove home after picking up my glasses wearing my computer/reading bifocals because I too thought it was strange, as I am also severely myopic. There is something weird going on with my eyes. Also, why does macular degeneration spread? I also have gum disease and have read that oral microbes have been found in the macula of those with macular degeneration.

Thank you for this excellent and informative video.

[@paulettedrake2972]

I have just went through having the cataract surgery. What I did not know is that when the lens is replaced in your eyes if you have bifocals this surgery takes away the bifocals. Not sure why. I had to get glasses with the upper part that is clear as you have your distance sight, but you will have to have bifocals put into your glasses. You can see distance after the surgery and wear a pair of magnified reading glasses that you can buy at a dollar store or drugstore that help with the close up vision you may need. It takes some time to adjust to that option as you will have to switch between the two pair of glasses. Just one more thing is that you usually will have your cataracts done one eye at a time. There is time between the procedure. Waiting for each eye to heal. Also there are post- op visits. The eye drops therapy that is required are explained in this video above.

[@laurieparis2203]

What a great video! I know I have cataracts but I've never been told what type I have. I was planning on having them taken out but I fell and broke my patella in half, had a bad case of blepharitis that I simply couldn't shake for almost 6 months, covid happened. Then it was a massive infection that ate a hole in my maxilla, followed by surgery for an accident that shattered my wrist. Talk about roadblocks to success! Anyway I need to get it done before my birthday in 2022, because I will not be able to pass the eye exam as my vision has deteriorated that much. Frankly I'm a bit spooked because I'm not sure what will happen next to prevent me getting the surgery! 😆 But your videos have been a big help... thank you so much! 🌸

[@laurieparis2203]

@@pedithnagali2612 thank you, Pedith! My update is that I wound up going for a cataract assessment, and general eye health exam at a place that specializes in cataract removal. One of the tests was a refractive exam ... You know, that test where they put this machine over your eyes and ask which lense looks better, one or two? Three or four? 😊 That's when I discovered that the majority of my vision loss was NOT from cataracts, but from a change in my prescription. One eye had actual gone up by 2.25 diopters! No wonder I couldn't see! I'd also developed quite a bit of astigmatism, which I never had before my dry eye/blepharitis ordeal. My thoughts are that the dry eye actually gave me astigmatism. And here my doctors, including the one that measured my eyes for cataract surgery, told me that my vision deterioration was all bc of my cataracts and not correctable with glasses Sure there are some small changes that glasses can't fix, bc I DO have cataracts, but the changes are so small, it's not worth it for me to risk the operation and expense, when I can see perfectly well with my new glasses. Plus I'm kinda creeped out that they lied to me about the real cause of my vision loss, that I had to discover on my own it was a prescription change and newly developed astigmatism that was the cause.

[@anngray9171]

I've had cataract surgery 20 days ago. Thank God only one eye! I seem to be the only person in the world who has had problems. Firstly excruciating pain, starting as soon as the local anaesthetic wore off. Pain like daggers stabbing into the eye. No one mentioned pain or pain relief. In desperation, after several hours of agony, I fumbled around on my phone, managed to get my GP who said it would be ok to take some painkillers. I did and the blessed relief. I have had only minor low key occasional fleeting pain since. The morning after surgery I was blind in the eye. A deep grey mist. I had to return to the hospital for the checkup that morning. Despite being blind I was told all was well! The next day I was still unable to see, a thick white mist was covering my vision. Someone took me back to the hospital and a very grumpy Dr. said it was perfectly ok. Well it's not perfectly ok. I can now see like through a blurred lens. It doesn't improve. I have followed all instructions, endless drops...I have been for another checkup, I have been through many eye examinations. Thank God, again, I have been told the macular ect are ok.....can I trust these people??? I still have much worse sight than before. They have ruined me. They say the sac clouded over immediately after surgery???? I don't believe something could happen that fast. At the moment I can see light. I'm afraid if they start messing about I will lose what little vision I have! Anyone got any advice???

[@LastTrump7]

You need to go see different eye doctors. That is not normal and I hope by now you have had that fixed….I have had cataract surgery that is far from normal.

A great video. I'm now just over 50. I had cataract surgery in my 40s in the UK, with one eye done on our public health system(NHS) and the second eye done privately. I was already Myopic with Astigmatism and have remained as such so now wear Progressive Eyeglasses or Multifocal Toric Contacts. Interestingly i had two different types of Cataract(the first eye had a Nuclear cataract and the second a Cortical cataract). `I have already had YAG laser treatment following the first surgery.

He also told me that it would correct my distance as well as some middle range. He told me that I had trouble seeing in the distance before. I advised him that I never had distance problems before, and in fact I never wore reader's until about 6 years before. I am scared that I won't be able to see after surgery.

Thank you for an excellent explanation. I didn't know anything about different types of cataracts. I need the surgery in both eyes, 1 being worse than the other. That's all I was told. Having surgery on my eyes horrifies me & haven't scheduled it. I noticed that no longer could see to drive at night then apparently I don't see colors correctly. Am having much harder time indoors at night with lights on & reading is much more difficult. Even with new prescription my sight isn't corrected. Needing a magnifying glass with your glasses to read is very frustrating.

[@gloryb-tv]

I just had my first eye done this week. It is FANTASTIC to see again. I could have waited three more years to be on medicare, but I didn't want to wait - I wanted to SEE. I'll have the second eye done 2 weeks later. I'll be posting videos of my experience on 2/18/2022. It is nothing to be scared about. Having one eye done at a time, I am able to compare "new eye" to "old eye" at this time. One eye's vision is super clear & sharp! No pain. After I got home from surgery and ate lunch, I should have taken a nap for a couple hours (the eye was dilated for a while), but I made a video about how I was doing (!), which is funny in retrospect. Later in the day I was doing really well - the dilation was down, I could see really well.

Very interesting video that explains it extremely well. I found out a few years ago I have small cataracts forming in the center of my lens in both eyes, and seems to be slowly worsening. I’m very young for this, but it doesn’t seem to be impacting my vision yet other than seeing some halos around light at times. Not sure how long until I’ll start really noticing the real negative effects, but I’m a big wimp when it comes to surgery of any kind & admittedly really nervous about needing a procedure to fix this one day. Thx for all the info, really appreciate it!

[@rstevewarmorycom]

I've had both eyes done, it doesn't hurt a all, takes about 10 minutes for each eye, I even had the second one done without sedation so I could drive myself home. The anesthetic they put in your eye makes it totally numb, and they put a device to hold your lid open. It is not uncomfortable. You feel them moving your eye around with the tools, but it's not painful a all. As soon as they put the new lens in you can see immediately. Watching them break up the old lens is also interesting, pretty colors. Have it done, it's not a problem.

That is an awful experience you had! I had my first eye done last week. Some of the drops they put in my eye were to numb it completely. I literally had no pain. An anesthesiologist was present and spoke to me during the prep phase. They only gave me a liquid concoction to calm me. Meanwhile, he told me if during the procedure I felt any pain at all to tell the surgeon right away and they would do whatever they could to ensure I had no pain at all. The fact that your surgeon put this pain issue on you is awful. He should be horrified that you had any pain during the procedure. This is on them, not on you. Don't let them gaslight you.

I learned last week I have a “surprise” cataract. Guessing the subcapsular? I am in my thirties and found that I had a retinal disease and had to take steroid drops for a while. Now it is a super low dose but suddenly my vision went from warped to blurry, to next to nothing. In two weeks went from 20/60 and no cataract to over 20/200, in one eye. It is uncomfortable and sooooo disconcerting!

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Definitely sounds like how subcapsular ones come on!

[@kittyandrews27]

@@EyeSchoolwithDrD for those who have it in one eye is it normal to experience some discomfort? It was so sudden it was like my brain could not compute and kept straining to see. 😂 My eye and brain are offended.

[@angelaharris1112]

Do you see double vision with cataracts? And complete night blindness! Anyone? 🙏

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Trouble at night due to glare is very common. Binocular (both eyes open)double vision CAN be due to cataracts but neurological causes need to be ruled out!

Are opticians honest .because I was told cataracts improve eye sight .so need new lens until getting the op ??? That could be indefinitely with the nhs , in three months .from one small one now have two large ones ???

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

As cataracts develop they can shift your prescription. There is even something we call “second sight” where your prescription can improve as cataracts develop! But as they grow, they tend to slowly cloud or blur things until you get to the point you’re ready for surgery. So yes, as cataracts are developing it is normal to see prescription shift or even improve and to need new glasses u til they get to the point they’re actually ready to be removed!

A couple of months back I was slurping some noodles and the hot, oily broth splashed into my eye. The day after, I noticed my right eye was a little blurry, so I went to see an optometrist for an eye exam. Turns out I have a cataract in my right eye at 26 years old. Dr. D, is it more likely that the cause of the cataract stemmed from the broth or is it more likely that I already had a case forming, but the broth "accelerated" the growth??

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

No, the broth isn't forceful or traumatic enough to cause. It was there/forming/congenital.

[@pastelsky1]

I am also 26 was told I have a small cataract I don't know why. Eye doctor said it could be genetics.

[@chibibos]

@@EyeSchoolwithDrD thanks for your response. Went to see an ophthalmologist and she mentioned the same thing. Looks like surgery will be the next step if my vision gets any worse!

[@joro3038]

I accidently sprayed glass cleaner(aerosal), into my left eye. After that I noticed I have loss of vision, blurriness. Right eye is fine.

Excellent video - I had a head injury close to a year ago running and slamming head on cement and immediately developed blurry vision - ER no internal bleeding - two months later opthamologist told me had concussion which Caused blurry vision one eye only- I went to a neurologist I went to another ophthalmologist who told me I had a huge cataract and had to have surgery ASAP. I told him I developed this problem after falling within two days and he told me that it was in my mind I must have had blurry vision before that which is untrue. My eye isn’t cloudy I have no glare at all it’s just blurry vision. I get a third opthamologist opinion before I proceed to have cataract surgery?

[@patmichael734]

Had cataract surgery in November. Sight improved for about a week. I now hav poor vision again, the eye feels irritated also have dry eye syndrome. My Dr gave a script for glasses. Hope it works,

[@viviennesunny]

it got better?

[@captainkangaroo4301]

You will need cataract surgery about a year before your insurance company determines that the cataract is advanced enough to require surgery.

Could you check the olens color lenses, these are one of the biggest most sold color contact company based in korea with millions of people buy them as they also get endorsed by korean pop bands like Blackpink or BTS. The material is made of Puscon and apparently they also have a UV protection. Theres over 300 stores just alone in Korea. It would be really helpful to hear ypur optinion as you can see worldwilde everyone raving about these. Many thanks. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

CASTOR OIL DOES WORK TO DISOLVE CATARACTS. In the last video , you discuss Castor oil for eyelash growth, and slightly admit its used effectively. Yet don't mention Castor oil here. Job security, I guess for you. If more people knew about topical Castor oil for cataracts, you would have to find a ew line of work.

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

I will look into its use for cataracts. I’m honestly not sure what the literature says. My hunch is that we don’t have enough evidence yet or it would be a more standard clinical practice
