Premium Lens Options for Cataract Surgery

- Kristin Kelly, Refractive Surgery Coordinator for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Vision Center in Sunnyvale, discusses options for replacement lens for cataract surgery, including: intraocular lens (iol implant), multifocal intraocular lens, accommodating intraocular lens, standard monofocual lens and toric lens
I had cataract surgery and had trifocal lenses installed. I love them. My wife however is not too happy with my results. She thought the trifocal
lenses would finally make me see things her way...they did not.
😂
Simple - is best. I have 20/20, and reasonable near vision. Presbyopia is never a problem. Thanks!
Thank you for this simple and understandable explanation of the different lens options! Any long term differences between the multi focal and accommodating lens'?
Ok, but what is the average price to a Medicare patient for the premium upgrade? That is what will be most important thing to know for 90% of people watching this video.
Thank you, Very well explain!!!!!👍😀
Best explanation on types of lenses and astigmatism. Thank you sister.
Very good explanation of the alternatives and what is available.
2022 and still don't offer trial contacts of the exact planned lens RX to determine if it will work or not.
Thank you, very useful information 🌹
I have toric Envista lens inserted in my left eye I barely see with it now. I spent $1,500 just for the lens 😭
What did the doctor say? I’m getting monovision contacts in a month and have severe astigmatism. I expect to receive at least on toric.
I got premium lens called Symfony,
I wish I had gone with a regular lens. The rings make halos and starburst around lights and vision is not sharp its 20/20 but not clear. I am going with a regular lens in other eye, surgery is in February 2019, hoping I won't have to replace the symfony lens. I suggest asking a lot of questions about vision clarity and trouble with lights .
I had a regular lens first in my left eye. Last week, I got a premium lens in my right eye. Restor IQ 2.5. Had complications during surgery m Had to get stitches in my eye. Couldn't see at all in my right eye the next day...all a blur. Dr. said it was normal because he had to give me stronger pain drops, which causes blurry vision temporarily. 4 days later and my vision is getting better every day. I can finally read with vision from my right eye. Noticed glare from lights, but it dont bother me. I think one regular lens and one premium lens is a good combination. My distance vision is slowly getting better in my right eye, but nothing close to my left eye. Once stitches come out, should make better progress. Anyways, think you will be happy with the regular lens. Your eyes should adjust easier with the regular lens.
Regular monofocal lens give the best distance vision compared to premium. The premium multifocal lens split the incoming light focusing on the retina and will never be as sharp.
I had surgery on both eyes a month apart. My Doctor recommended that I get the standard lens due to problems with clarity and halos around light. I am so glad I listened. My eyes are great and to be honest I don't need glasses.
@@Shay1147 hai, Shaya. How's it going with your vision for now? Do you still need glasses to read book/smartphones?
@@Bagastriwidodo Hello hope all is blessed. My vision is still at 20/20. I don't wear glasses though my doctor recommends it. 2 check ups back It was 19/20 due to my left eye running a temp and I was prescribed drops to lower. It worked out.
I had both eyes done, my choice was the 2-focal, bc I never wore contacts. So they couldn’t be sure I would adjust to them. They state the choices I had a bit different here. Why would them have implants that you still need glasses for? Both surgeries were just before Thanksgiving. My only real issue it sensitively to light & dryness. I still use my RX glasses just for closeup. Readers are also working, can see mid-range & far. 👀👁👀 All & all, I would do again. Cataracts are slow growing, you really miss out on so much. $2650.00 per eye.
Aren't monofocal lenses available to eliminate glasses at close/intermediate ranges, too? I would prefer those, since most of my daily activities are at close range and being nearsighted, I already wear glasses for driving and so on.
Nice video 👍. From the comments below the multifocal are more problematic
@Palo Alto Medical Foundation - Kristin, why do you say if I get monofocal FAR I will need glasses for intermediate? My opthamologist is telling me I will only need reading glasses and that everything will be perfect beyond "arms length". Is this not correct?? I am young and my vision was better than 20/20 prior to cataracts. I don't want to give up any detail vision (which I am used to) which I imagine a mutifocal would cause, and considering I had perfect vision all my life and just about still do in one eye... With regard to the "Accommodating lens", do you think the technology is there yet? In terms of risk of intended outcome, and how long they will function properly.
Tell me Doctor .... Does the artificial lense interact with the brain to enable diffusion and refraction of light. ?
It's approximately $1500 in Mexico 🇲🇽
this is a great video but you should have shown prices
My cataract are more avanced.
Must lay one day on hospital after the surgery.
Some pills 4 days and 2 different drops 4 time 24h.

Achim Enssle so, did your vision get better?
@@achim659 did you get better? I had cataract surgery but that wasn't my only eye issu
@@calypsocaratzia7210 it is ok now, but still a little trouble sometimes when eyes get very dry! On a nice sunny day it's great, like everyone mentioned when its dark , the stuggle begin! But hey, no glasses with 62 years old after wearing glasses for 45 years!!
thanks
IOL
One of the worst things ever happened to me. Even with multi focal lens. Wait a few years or more. Maybe tech will get better. Trust me. My lens were 3 grand each.
Which multifocal lens did you have implanted into your eyes?
Yes. Which lens did u have implanted???
Your options are not GOOD Options, unless they are for someone, who is losing their sight. I am stymied a little, but My Eye Doctor says I won't lose my vision, because he say's my Cataracts are the slow growing kind. I will have to wait a little longer for better solutions...
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover meaning of vision correction numbers try Great Gazer Fix (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
as nice as all of these cataract videos are, it is always the same. push the premium stuff meaning more money since insurance wont cover it. i'm just tired of it
Cut the BS what's the price
Good information; however, while seeming knowledgeable and pleasant, Ms. Kelly's constant head motion while presenting the info was very distracting.
There’s always an asshole in the comments. And yes ,,,,, that’s you.
Susie Christie. I am always happy to hear from someone that makes me appreciate my wife more
