#EyeDoctorExplains #TrueFocusEyeCare #Lasik #LaserSurgery
My question is why didn’t you have lasik? What factors have contributed to your decision to continue wearing glasses?
Why you are wearing glasses if it’s save ?
I wear glasses because of genetics! But I'm planning to get ICL when I get time to do it. I'll try to video the experience when that time comes!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare Any update?
@@TrueFocusEyeCare any update.
@JTTL Not yet. Due to the busyness of life, that endeavor is on the back burner for now. But I'm still planning on it!
all the years of wearing heavy glasses. no one has every told me that surgery would be an option. I have horrible astigmatism and cannot see anything but blurriness close or far without them. What are the options?
ICL may be a good option. We'll be making a video about that one soon!
"came to my practice on April 5, 2023, was informed that she used more myopic glasses than she needed, and therefore she had difficulties in near vision. At the end of the examination, the actual need for glasses was determined. Information about possible laser treatments and techniques was given."
Glasses used:
R: -2.50-0.25 x 175
L: -3.00-0.50 x 180
Glasses to use:
R: -1.75
L: -2.00
Which vision correct do you recommend would like a second opinion
Without looking at your eyes, I would not be able to tell you which is best for you. The explanation makes since if the new Rx is correct. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I have a fear that I wouldn't be able to keep my eye still for 10 minutes. Also concerned about having poor vision afterwards.
Has there been encounters during procedures when patients move their eye?
Yes, everyone moves their eyes! But you will not ruin the surgery because of that. Maybe if you sneeze, but hopefully you can warn them when it's coming🤷🏽♂️
Thank you for answering my question
Left e -5.50
Right e - 5.00
Which surgery is recommended for me?
It depends on your age, corneal thickness, and what you want your vision to be. Most places have free consults to see what options would be good for you.
left eye -4.00
right eye-4.00
i’m 18 years old and i’m nearsighted which surgery will be best for me??
Depends on the shape of your eye, but if your eye has the average measurements, then regular LASIK should be fine!
Thank you Sir for making video in this topic..
Glad you liked it!
If I have both myopia and asthygmatism, does this still make me a viable candidate for refractive surgery? I’m nervous because my brother who had the same thing, got PKR and has been told that his vision will improve little by little. He sees some things a little blurry but maybe I’m just paranoid?
It depends on how much you have and the thickness of your cornea. Nowadays, there seems to be a refractive surgery for anybody. It's worth a consult.
Thank you so much! Love this information. If my eyes power is: ~9 (both eyes), do you think I should undergo Phakic ICL (I’m 18)? Thank you so much, I really had no idea to do, since the risks are high too and I am so nervous. I did some research myself and on Healthline, I read that I should be older than 20 to have this surgery safely. What is your point of view, I really need some advice. Thank you docs!
Thanks for watching, Catt! 20 is a good average age recommendation, but the key is that you should have pretty stable vision for 1-2 years. LASIK could be a good option for your if your eyes if your cornea is thick enough. This can be checked during your consult. I do like ICL because the short healing period and it's huge range of correction that can be made. So, first things first, get a consult so they can see what options are available to you, but you are young, so there is no rush. Hope this helps.
Good to see you back! Full beard is looking good. 😀
Lol, thank you, sir! It's good to be back!!
Hi Dr. Vijay Shenai may I ask you why you didn’t do your laser eye surgery:)
I would love to and will eventually. I had about 4 teeth to take care of this last year, so I needed to replenish my reserves before I start working on my eyes. I can still see with my glasses, so my teeth took priority.
I'm really close to do lasik. I was wondering which machine is better between wavelight ex500 and schwind amaris 750s. Please help me out.
Sorry, but this is not my area of expertise. Every specialist has there own preference, but of all the places that my patients come back after this procedure, I don't see any difference in vision.
What happens if you are born with the left eye with poor vision seeing far away but can see close clearly and the right eye can see far away clearly but up close poorly will Lazer surgery correct it plus see a big spot with the right eye .
It depends on a lot of factors. The best person to talk to about that is your local eye doctor after they examine your eyes. Then all those factors can be laid on the table and discussed.
Hey! My corneal thickness is 541 OD and 547 OS. My current prescription is 3.75 and 4.5. Is there any surgery after which my residual thickness is not lesser than 450 microns.
Help!
Sounds like you may already know the answer to your question. The only one that I can guarantee that you will not have to worry about corneal thickness is ICL. This surgery does not remove any of the cornea, so if this is a concern for you or your doctor, then ICL is your choice!
I know this video is 2 years old but , why were Doctor Shenal wearing glasses (those glasses look like myopia glasses) while he was advocating/advising the eye corrective methods. Shouldn’t he get the procedure done himself to eliminate his vision problems? I am very concerned about this because I am preparing to get my eyes corrected. I don’t like to wear glasses unless they are for safety purposes. Thank you for all advices and input.
I appreciate the concern, but I do love wearing glasses. Also, I think people like seeing their eye doctor wear glasses. I still plan on getting LASIK, but I will actually keep my nearsightedness. At this time, I'm a -6.00, so I have to hold things about 6 inches from my face to see it. I want to set my new focal point to about 25-30 inches away. About 75% of my day, I won't need to wear glasses because this distance will allow me to see my patients, read their charts, see my laptop, and see my phone. If I need glasses for the other 25%, then I'm good with that. Because I'm pushing 40, I really don't want 5 years of no glasses, and then forever need to look for my reading glasses every time I need to read. I've lived nearsightedness most of my life, and I do like not needing glasses for near tasks. Hope this add a new perspective on how to adapt LASIK to one's lifestyle.
dr please help me 🙏
left eye 1.25 z 3.00 a 155
right eye 2.50 z 1.75 a 72
please help me what treatment woud your recommend me?
my corneal is thick enough for smile or lasik. and i never had dry eyes
thank you 🙂
There are a few other factors that are in play to figure out which would be best. For me, I am planning on doing SMILE due to the faster healing time. I need to get right back to work within the next few days. Other than that, I would recommend getting a consult with where ever you want to get this done, and see what they recommend.
Shout out to Nova Southeastern AND explaining some of the positive aspects of different types of eye care professionals :). Love this for patients. Keep up the good work Dr. Shenai (PS - hope you and your family are having a calmer summer than the time since your last videos)
Thank you, and yes, much less major hurdles! Only the occasional mild speed bumps. Lol
Hello I have cornea thickness of 455 and my vision is negative 1.75 for both right and left eye. Which lasik surgery is best for me.? Some suggested PRK and some are saying ICL. I am so confused- what would you suggest me? Please reply
Please reply
Unfortunately, without looking at your eye, I couldn't recommend anything. Either one would give you great vision, but I would think about the long term also. You have amazing near vision without any glasses on, and if you do not get LASIK, or similar, then you will retain your great near vision even after all of your friend need readers for seeing anything up close. If you get LASIK, then in your 40's, you will need to use readers for computer and closer. But it is up to you!
I am planning to have surgery at the end of Dec or maybe in Jan. I will be 22 by then and for my eyesight,
Right e:
Sph: -6.50, cyl: -0.75, axis: 40°
Left e:
Sph: -6.50, cyl: -0.75, axis: 180°
I don't really have knowledge about it and your video was the first one that I came across. What procedure do you think will be good ?
They surgery center that you will go to will help you determine that. A few things will need to be measured like the thickness of your corneas. If thick enough, then LASIK will be a good option. If it is too thin, ICL will be a great option.
Thank you for you time
Hi Dr. Shenai, why haven’t you had any of these procedures…??? I only ask because I was dating a physician and she told me that ophthalmologist never get corrective eye surgery…
That's not accurate, though. There are more eye doctors who get this surgery for themselves and their families than any other related surgery. Though, I'm not sure how many cardiologists are lining up for heart surgery for themselves. Lol, fun Stat. I haven't done it due to timing. Now is not the right timing for me, but I will eventually.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare …”its not the right timing”… do you tell your patience this kind of bull dookie…? You do this for a living, you’re not getting any younger and the more you age the less years of benefit you’re going to get from this procedure as you’ll just exchange one set of glasses for bifocals…I honestly can’t believe you said that… there’s a reason why you haven’t done this already and it’s not because of “timing” and subjecting your patience to what you’re not willing you to do yourself it’s completely unethical.
@@teddysurf wow, you are passionate about this. Timing is everything. My timing has nothing to do with age or willingness to get the surgery. I would not get the surgery to get rid of my glasses. The option that I am going to do is to reduce my need for glasses. Now, I have to use glasses for everything. Super near-sighted! I would target great near vision at around 36-20 inches becuase this is where I am 90% of my day. I would only use glasses for driving. This option would be perfect for me!
I have -5 on left eye and -4.5 on right eye . I am 19 year old . I dont want to do lasik because of the side effects. What is the best eye correction surgery for me ?
Any of the surgery could have similar side affects, so if the risk doesn't outweigh the reward, then keep wearing glasses and contacts. I'm not sure which side affects that you are thinking of, but LASIK and any of the procedures that we talked about are very safe and if you look at the data of happy patients vs unhappy, you will see that the unhappy patients are very rare.
Hi, so I know this is two years old, would you approve this for a patient with Lupus who has difficulties wearing contacts everyday, takes Xiidra and Tyrava twice daily? Stabilized distance vision with astigmatism. Thanks!!!
I have anxiety can I be sedated for Surgery
Yes, you can!
Over 50 years old. Wearing a bifocal glasses for near and far. Which surgery can you suggest?
Thanks for the question! It depends on your prescription and what your vision goals are. I would probably suggest RLE, but I haven't done a video just about that yet. We'll get there.
Thank you doctor for making this informative video nd what is your thoughts about contour vision surgery ?
Any advances in technology or procedures to open the door of these benefits to those who were not previously a candidate is wonderful. It seems to have a great results so far. Thanks for bringing it up. I'll be putting out more videos of each one of these surgeries soon.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thank you for the response doctor ❤️ very pleased with it
Right eye:- 3.15
Left eye:- 3.0
I'm 25 year old. I'm wearing spacks when I was 10 year old. Plz suggest me which is the best surgery for me??? I'm worrying about this.
If your prescription hasn't changed since your were 10, then that's impressive! But your best bet is to get a consult with your eye doctor to see if all other criteria is met for surgery.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thanks a lot. Can you tell me one thing which is best surgery or its depends on person to person? ?
@@navneetkaur175 it does depend on the person!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thanks a lot.
What would work best if I have an iris coloboma for vision corrective surgery? I keep getting told that I’m not a candidate for LASIK but I’m nervous I’ll get told the same for the other options
Without seeing your eyes, I can't give you much advise. I'm not sure why an iris coloboma would have any effect on LASIK because it's the cornea that is being worked on not the iris. But I would refer to the surgeon's advise either way.
I have a few friends who have all said Lasik has ruined their eyes....floaters , dry eye, and went in for far-sightedness and came out nearsighted ....
LASIK is not for far sighted people, so maybe they went to the wrong doctor🤷🏽♂️
@@TrueFocusEyeCare so its only for nearsightedness? I may have switched the two but definitely experienced a decline in the other direction
@@sparkcruz3319 yes, that can happen. Most will get at least 10-15 great years, but age and environment can change the shape of the eye, which in turn can change the vision.
Thank you for this information!
You're welcome! Looking forward to expounding on this topic in the future!
Can I do any of the surgeries if I am 18 years old??
It depends on your eyes. If your prescription has barely changed in a year or 2, then you could be a good candidate!
Thank you for all the info! I really like all of the video's and wished I was in Florida so I could come to you for care!
Thank you!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare sorry, im from albania and i have high miopia im 37 years old, my doc said that i cant do surgery lasic by my cornea, i cant put lentes so only glass but the glasses are so thick and are not beauty, why the science dont invetion thin beautiful myopic glasses? what can i do?
@@ROMAN-qn2ez sorry to hear, but I'm sure there are other materials that could work for you other than glasses. We rarely use glass these days, but there could be other options like RLE that could work for you other than LASIK.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare yeaa but my doc said still noo, he said everything what a do i will have still the myopia after 1 , 2 years, i dont understand, and i dont understand why my eye number still grows, i have change glasses before 2 years and i have some weeks that i se that my number is grow, i dont see well, so maybe after 10 yers i will be blind????
@@ROMAN-qn2ez I may think about contact lenses for you.
Is there any other alternative treatment that laser surgery cannot be detected from medical examination? Please let me know
There are other options as shown in this video. But I'm not sure what you are asking. During an eye exam, we can determine which might be better for the patient. This is based on the person's vision, age, shape of the eye and health.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare actually my vision is 6/18 and I am trying for Locopilot job for that, the criteria is "the candidate's vision should be 6/6 and should not undergone any Lasik surgery" during their eye examination.
@@sureshkannan4855 Oh, I see what you're saying. PRK would be a good option for you. No flap, so everything heals completely seemless!
I’m having-4.0 both eyes and 460um thickness which surgery is suitable
You do have thinner corneas than average, but it will depend on the confidence of the surgeon and the equipment used. SMILE may be a great option for you.
Great Video!
Thanks!
Is Lumify a good eye drop after Catarac Surgery
Lumify is a good drop in general for redness.
Is it save and what are the chances of success
Success rate is extremely high, but knowing what the realistic expectation you should have afterwards is key. There are a lot of factors that are unique to every person that could result is some blur in certain areas. Just like our natural eyes, we will find blur if we look for it, but are the clear areas where we most need it? This is what we should focus on.
Hi Doctor I wear contact lenses and my power is -.600, 1.25, 180 also I do boxing which surgery is suitable for me and will I be able to do sparing if do any of laser surgery thanks
I would probably recommend PRK, just becuase there is no change of a dislodged flap, even though it is very rare for that to happen. But it will depend on the thickness of your cornea, which they will measure before hand.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare
Thanks you for the information Doctor very helpful 🙏🙏🙏, also will I be able to do PRK if thrs slight prescription change thanks
@@TrueFocusEyeCare ❤️
@@Shan-cm3dg slight change should be fine. Our eyes are constantly changing, so as long as we don't see large changes each time, then no worries!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare Hi Doctor thank you very much for your info ❤️❤️
I have problems in near and far can we correct that problem how can we correct the problem
It all depends on your prescription and age! Many places will provide a free consult, so you can get checked and see if it's possible to correct it all. Worth a try!
Dr... Would YOU like to go for vision correction? :)
I was planning on it last year, but I had a few teeth that needed attention. It happened to cost more than laser correction surgery, so I'll wait another year! But yes, I am planning on it.
Helo can refractive amblyopia be treated in laser surgery thanks
Great question. Unfortunately the answer is no. Amblyopia, no matter the cause, means that the eye itself is not able to acheive 20/20 even with the best correction. Correction by glasses versus laser assisted correction does not matter. Now, it may eliminate the need for glasses, but you can't expect that your vision after laser surgery will be better than what was acheived by glasses.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare ah ok but the dominant eye is correct by the laser surgery and the amblopic eye is not corrected by the laser surgery what would you suggest doc any treatment for refractive amblyopia is there option like phakic icl thanks doc godbless I hope you answer it
@@jamesmarkquilnat3849 LASIK could be an option for the good eye, and they could correct the refractive error in your amblyopic eye. Just don't expect that eye to see better than you were corrected with glasses before the surgery.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thanks doc for answering my question
Sir I wanted to know say I am not eligible for lasik will I be eligible other surgery besides lasik
You could be, best way to find out is to get a consult with an office who does these procedures. There are many offices that have free consults.
What kind of surgey is good for high precipitation-17 and I’m 35yrs old I’m getting tired wearing glasses and contact lenses 😭😭😭
RLE is what you are looking for. I've seen a patient with -20 D vision get 20/20 vision without glasses after surgery. Pretty amazing.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thank you so much for your information I’ll look into that
@@TrueFocusEyeCare that’s really nice to hear that from you I’m happy that there’s an option for me hoping that I can find a good ophthalmologist here in california
Is the RLE only for 40yrs old and up
I search the RLE surgery it says for only 40yrs old and up
i have a grade 1,200 can i surgery for lasik ? thank you am i eligible for lasik?
That would normally be out of range for LASIK, but ICL may be a great option for you
I see Dr. Shenai is still wearing glasses. How come?
Lol, I will be getting one of these surgeries soon, but for now, I love my glasses. I believe my glasses makes my patients feel more comfortable too, so if I were to have LASIK, then I would probably not get rid of all of my nearsightedness, so I could keep wearing glasses. But at least they wouldn't be as thick as they are now!
This is more rare the blue eyes. Only 5% of people have hazel eyes and well I am one of those people who has hazel eyes. Which is weird to me because my brother was the one who should have had the hazel eyes. He did but then they went from hazel to just blue. Which my eye doctor told my mother that my eyes would change to blue eyes just like my brother's eyes did. That was when I was nine I am now 23 and my eyes are still hazel. Could they still change from hazel to blue?? Plus when I was little I had eye surgery to fix my left eye. I just want to know if my eyes can still change after 15 years.
Your vision may fluctuate at this time, but you should be pretty stable in vision and color! Thanks for watching the video
@@TrueFocusEyeCare Your Welcome!
Can an optometrists perform laser surgery ?
Not in my state of Florida, but they can in some other US states. We all had to learn and practice it, but not all of us will use it.
@0:01 He's wearing frames or glasses?
Frames in this shot. These videos give me a chance to try different frames. If the glare is too bad, I just pop out the lenses.
Why does the doctor wear glasses?
Because I like wearing glasses! I could get LASIK and get rid of all of my power, but I love what I can do with my nearsightedness. So if I did ever get surgery, then I would probably still wear glasses when I'm done. I also think people like eye doctors who wear glasses!
Why are you wearing glasses???
i just cant trust that it is so great if the workers are still choosing to wear glasses
These are options explained. Some of us are happy with glasses, whereas others want surgery, so they don't have to wear glasses. It's a choice. Simple!
BS, too vague.
Lol, This was not the video that dives deep into any one of these topics. This video was made to show the merit of this doctor who performs the procedure, so as we dive into each one of the topics, you will have a little more trust into what is being addressed. We have not made all the videos yet due to scheduling issues, so be sure to check those videos out to hopefully squelch your concerns.
Not worth the risk
We go through the risks in future videos, so we should always be aware of the risks when choosing to do any surgery. Luckily, issues with these surgeries are rare and simple to address. But I agree, these surgeries shouldn't be taken lightly.
