You said nothing about the diagonal streaking and flaring seen lights, or the perspective distortions and bending seen with astigmatism. So just showing blurriness is not very comprehensive.

Is this good for sics

This description was perfect! I wasn’t given instructions either will mention that to my surgeons office!

This was insanely helpful, thank you!

It's not like that for me. It's more like things are stretched vertically. Astigmatism is caused by the shape of your eye changing due to your skull warping it. Because of this light refracts differently before it hits the back of your eye (because it's not going through a perfect sphere, or a perfect "whatever shape your eye is supposed to be"). In my case the shape is changed in such a way that things are warped vertically. The easiest example is when looking at stars, when I'm looking at just one star I can see two or three of them slightly above the actual one. It's not a huge deal in day-to-day life but can make reading impossible. Everybody is different, based on the shape of their eye other people might have distortion and other directions or in more or less extreme measures. I didn't need glasses until I was 33, before then I had perfect vision. I didn't realize anything was even wrong and thought I just had dry eyes until I went to the eye doctor. When I put on my first ever pair of glasses it was like those videos where you see little kids get their first pair and freak out, I couldn't believe how clear things were. I'd been telling my friends that 4K TVs were gimmicks for the past 6 months and felt like shit.

thanks for posting. How long do we need to wear this? One week? 2 weeks? 3 Years?

Thank you for addressing the issues that I have experienced after cataract surgery. It be helpful to also include the potential risks involved in lasik corrective surgery.

Best instruction. Thank you. I had a GLUCOMA operation yesterday. I was given an eye shield.

Your video gave me exactly what I came here for. Thanks so much. Only, in my brother’s case, he is blind in the right eye and just had his surgery on the left so he really does need to be able to see if he gets up to go at night, which he does alot. So yeah, the v-shaped and the edge methods are really helpful. 👍🏾

I like to do these measurements, using my Snellen and test lenses. Very educational.

Suggestion: Do this with a Snellen, when you gave 20/20 Spherical.

Interesting perspective. 45% have it! Nice trial lens kit reviews. Thank you!

We need a better definition of AMBLYOPA.

This really put my mind at ease. My lasik after cataract surgery is less than a week away and I was having second thoughts. I feel much better after seeing your video and now plan to move ahead with the procedure. Thanks!

Great. Now put on your CPAP mask !

I am 43 years old with high astigmatism and last year started to have trouble reading/seeing up close would this surgery be a good fit to get me out of glasses permanently ? Or would another procedure be recommended.

I have -6 astigmatism it effects both my distance and my reading/close up vision woth out glasses if i hold something close about 2 inches from my face i can read/see enough .

Aaaaah--putting some tape on first certainly makes perfect sense and definitely makes life easier. Thanks for the tip--and for this video!

Hi doctor, i had monofocal lens implanted in my right eye 2 months ago due to my high myopia, is it posibble to exchange it with another iol (like multifocal) and perform myopic shift to enchance my near vision? can i also perform LASIK to enchance my far vision? I still need my near visison due to my hobby and most of activities. Thankyou in advance🙏🏻

Needed this! Thank you as did not know best positioning!! Great

I had multi focal lens put in about 3 months ago. I can see great. My issue is the Halos around all headlights, street lights and street signs. It has not gotten any better. I am so worried that they won't go away. Any suggestions. Thank you

Sure needed this! Just had partial cornea transplant Thank you.

I was diagnosed with astigmatism 7 months ago.

Are there any situations where lasik could not be used post cataract surgery? I got the basic lenses that corrected my vision from -5.75 down to -2.25. But now I have 20/20 vision as far as my dashboard, which I never had before. Been trying different glasses and mono vision and multi focal contacts and NOTHING works.

Excellent thank you just had my left eye done today

Can Lasik clear up near vision problems caused by a Clareon Panoptix implant?

Excellent video, I had cataract surgery on both my eyes about 5+ years ago and I've been having more problems than before. I have a black spot on both eyes that many times I can even see it. Also I have a lot of little pieces of lint that look like thin threads in both eyes. I've come to the conclusion of getting lasik surgery, first on my right eye and see if it makes a difference. If so I will have it on my left eye. I'd sincerely appreciate any response from you Dr.. Thank you very much.

Your video is a lifesaver. My doctor's office didn't explain this and after 4 miserable hours of having pointy end poking middle of my forehead I decided to check RUclips for help. Thank you for your clear, easy to follow explanation!

Get a proper microphone - do some prep

Thank God I chose ICLs instead.

I had multi-focal lens implants in October then had the YAG laser and I’m due to have laser touch up in a few weeks. At this stage I wish I hadn’t started down this road but after spending £7,000 I need to see it through. Fingers crossed this works.

Great video!!!! I have a question that maybe you can weigh in on. I had cataract surgery 5 years ago & a 2.25D toric lens was used to improve my irregular astigmatism. I see 20/25 without glasses, but I see ghosting & looking at headlights is rough. Can LASIK smooth out my irregular astigmatism & match my toric lens & is PRK a better option. My cornea doctor is happy with my 20/25 results and he is leary to try to improve it, but the ghosting and multiple images and halos at night is driving me nuts. Where is your practice located? If within a days drive, maybe I could get a consult. Thanks

100% correct.

i started with - 2 in my 7th standard, probably due to my minidoxil injections side effect for alopecia hair loss, during follow-up stated headaches doctor said maybe due eye power charges, i couldn't even read the calendar in the clinic, found out - 2 power was present, now i'm 44 & have add +1.25 also single distance vison was so sharp, progressive lens gave me shock in the division of distance, intermediate & reading focals,still have made a single distance vison for outdoor activities comfort.

This helped soooo much. Thank you.

Actually, it's quite, painful removing the tape 😮

Awesome video! The -1.00 did it for me. 👓

Very helpful video! Is lasik okay after having a detached retina? I’m seeing a new ophthalmologist this week and hopefully I’ll be a candidate for YAG procedure. Previous doctor never told me about PCO, I’ve been getting stronger and stronger prescriptions since about a year after cataract surgery. I’m kinda PO’d I had to learn about this on RUclips.

I don’t think you get the proper intended effect because the phone camera is always correcting lighting.. maybe have your phones focused locked in so it dosent keep automatically correcting the light?

I wear a -2.75 and a -3.75 for my astigmatism, and one eye is horizontal, the other oblique. Also a +1.75 bifocal. My astigmatism makes lights distorted and things just blurry, especially at night. Hard to describe the blur exactly.

These procedures are absolutely horrific. PRK destroyed my vision and my life and the lives of so many others. These are surgeries that damage the structure of the eye. The cornea was never meant to be cut into. I’ve heard of so many stories and met so many people who lives were destroyed my refractive eye surgery. No one needs these procedures. Anyone can wear glasses or almost anyone can wear soft contact lenses. I’d give anything to be able to go back to wearing either one. Instead I’m plagued by about a dozen vision issues because of this procedure that can not be fixed. I regret every single day of my life getting this horrific procedure. So many people have taken their lives because they cannot live with the horrific vision issues and/or severe eye pain these surgeries can cause. What other elective surgery is causing people to commit suicide? You clearly should be aware of all of this an ophthalmologist. I don’t know you can live with yourself knowing you’re making money off the suffering of others. I haven’t done the best things in my life but I could not live with myself knowing I destroyed someone’s life just to in the pursuit of making money. You people are soulless human beings with no empathy. Enjoy your money knowing you’re performing an unnecessary procedure that literally causes good people so much pain and misery. I believe in karma and what goes around comes around.

Thanks

This video was ahead of its time.

Thank you for this! I have always had astigmatism with myopia but it has gotten worse and worse over time. As a child I had lazy eye and they still can see it a little bit. I am now going on 38 and it is so scary seeing a extremely high prescription. I think I will be going to a different eye doctor for a 2nd opinion. It's not that I don't trust him I can see but I just wanna make sure that I seriously won't go blind especially as over the years it keeps getting worse and worse without glasses. I was told originally it would "settle down" in my 20s...and it hasn't

Very helpful! Thanks Doc!

I can't imagine it will fit well when wearing a CPAP mask. I'm facing that soon.

Wearing that thing at night was the worst aspect of my cataract surgery, and even that wasn’t too bad. Meanwhile, my everything from about 7 feet to infinity is in focus.

Will the shield work to separate the egg white from the yolk? 😁

Thank you for your video! I have a mild like astigmatism -2.00-2.50 or even -3.00 on top of my myopia (-7.5 one eye -2.00 astigmatism and -11.5 another eye (with cataract now) where I have -3 astigmatism). It’s strange as before cataract the eye which is -11.5 now was -8.5 and had -2.25-2.5 astigmatism, but now it showed -3 astigmatism). I notice I see with less headache with -2.00 cyl on left eye than with -2.5 cyl where the vision is more clear and dazzling. But that’s not what is bothering me. If they put monofocal IOL lens set for distance with my astigmatism is that how I’m going to see as you show in your test? How come I can sort of see ok when I take off my glasses and bring the phone next to my nose (where I have my focus) and I can see all right (apart from that stupid fog occasionally). I can still read and watch a film without glasses on my phone and I don’t feel any astigmatism??? How am I going to see if they don’t correct astigmatism during a cataract surgery? That’s all very strange and puzzles me. I just wonder as I worry that toric lenses may not be safe or stable or that’s the only option for me?

Thank you so much for your advice!
