well i am petrified of my second cataract op as it took three years to get some vision back after my first op where i suffered cornea and macular damage the first time.

- Given that a badly managed PCR with its dreaded downstream effects are not uncommon (not to mention endophthalmitis) do you think an elderly patient with grade 1 cataract (acuity 6/9 in one eye and 6/6 in the other after correction; can read the smallest print up close unaided) with negligible (subjective) worsening of quality of vision should take the plunge, so to speak? At which point should he decide it's time? - You didn't mention cystoid macular edema in the list of complications. What's the prognosis? How is it prevented and managed? - Is PVD (complete with Weiss ring) an independent risk factor for post-surgery retinal detachment? - How tough is IFIS to handle for a surgeon if he/she is aware of the possibility in a patient who took alfuzosin for 3 months onevyear ago and then stopped? Will appreciate a response. I am a sixty-one year old primary care physician from India, btw.

I am looking at this lens for my non dominant eye. Dominant is a mono focal distance at 20/20. Will this give me good depth of field?

This is the best explanation for the strategy of the adjustment procedure and the reason for it that i have found, thank you.

Can a DMEK procedure be done at the same time as the LAL implant?

My doctor mentioned this. I'm so scared now of my second surgery next week. I don't want to be aware of anything yikes

Great explanations.very reassuring and helpful.

How is it for sports? I’m worried about depth perception.

how young can this surgery be done if you have poor vision but not yet a cataract (and dont qualify for laser or ICL)

No need to see this

Just implanted my two. Thanks for the information.

TY Dr Patell.

Could certain patients benefit from a depth of focus lens such as an Apthera lens in one eye and a light adjustable lens in the other eye? Would that reduce the glare and halo effects?

Rxsight, symbol RXST, is the way to invest in this Technology.

My doctor said he can do manual surgical correction with the lal to correct for astigmatism and to dial in near, close and far better.

Greetings from San Diego! Thank you, Dr. Patel, this is very helpful. I am scheduled for cataract and glaucoma surgery this month. I’m consulting with the surgeon tomorrow, but from my research I feel that the light adjustable lens and the Hydrus microstent will be the best options for me. Thank you for sharing your experience regarding setting one eye for distance and the other for midrange - I will bring this up with my doctor. The new technology available in this field is truly a godsend. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot better than I have my entire life - hopefully without glasses in most situations. Thanks again for the great video!

Thank you! You are highly recommended and I can confirm the process was quick, painless, and you put me at ease before and during the surgery. Many thanks to you and the team. My expectations were met and am so grateful.

Thank you. All is well at this time.

Thank you.

Great video, Thank you for the surgery. Great experience and great Dr. Really appreciate your calling and great work.
