I think no need to take risk of other expensive lenses. Monofocal is the best...
Exactly
Hi! I'm 37 with perfect vision most of my life until an autoimmune trigger that caused iritis/inflammation in my right eye. Due to prolonged steriod use, I now have a cataract. My Dr's suggest doing the surgery now that my inflammation is under control. My instinct wants the "best available" especially because I'm not used to wearing glasses. I do a lot of computer work but also travel quite a bit. My Dr suggests multifocal - does this sound accurate?
As long as the retina and cornea are healthy, a multi focal is an option. I’m more concerned about the history of prolonged iritis. It never hurts to see another eye surgeon in your town for a second opinion
Your first doctor does seem like a good doctor
@@DrJeffreyTran thank you! I do see a separate vitreoretinal specialist who has also done bloodwork (along with PCP) for additional indicators but they are clear. My specialist said now is a good time to get the surgery since my inflammation and symptoms have been consistently clear and the cataract surgery could improve my vision. My normal ophthalmologist suggested multi focal. I am very happy with my doctors but this is such big decision for my age, I'm nervous ❤️
@sheriewhitehead8304 I would choose monofocal. My doctor explained to me that people who have some retina, macula and/or vitreous disease is candidate for monofocal because multifocal wouldn't be precise. And if you have another retina or macula event in future, it can complicate your vision with multifocal. I'm 35 and also had cataract and retina detachment. And he told me to go for monofocal. My other doctor said the same thing. ❤
I have been quite myopic since the age of 8 or 9. I’ve had Presbyopia for 15 years or so too, so I have been wearing progressives. Now, at 70, I have cataracts. I have been offered a monofocal, Eyhance lens, or Synergy lens. Im leaning toward the Eyhance. I love the idea of finally being spectacle free and don’t mind using reading glasses. My question is what is the intermediate sight with the Eyhance? Will I be able to see the dashboard in my car? Will I be able to see when I am cooking something, chopping vegetables, see what’s on my plate without glasses?
The Eyehance is good at intermediate, but it’s not on the level of the synergy lens for near. I suspect you will need reading glasses for near activity if your surgeon aims for distance
Doc thanks for this video. My ophthalmologist suggested multifocal but I drive a lot at night and have high astigmatism on the right eye (where the cataract is) i’m at my mid 20’s and my cataract was trauma induced. My left eye is near sighted. I can see from near like typing with the phone. But has a grade of 200. If I go with the monofocal (which I like more due to the fact I can’t risk the glare) would my left eye be able to adjust when I have my right eye operated?
I think what may be best would be to have cataract surgery in the right eye, aim for distance monofocal (lowest risk of glare) and then wear glasses in both eyes (or contacts).
The right eye will have a small need for glasses, the left will need more power. The one thing that can occur is when both eyes have a large power difference, it may have a weird visual effect. What does your surgeon say about this
