This video covers even new lens options like the Alcon Vivity IOL and the Alcon PanOptix IOL. Our practice offers ALL lens options that are FDA approved from all manufacturers.
This is the most helpful presentation I have seen in my online research. I recognized myself immediately in the reference to the 'perfectionist' and that made my decision so much easier.
Thanks to you isn’t enough. Taking a decision on which lens to choose was a nightmares until I saw you presentation. You had explained every thing with highest simplicity. I hope all eye clinic use your presentation as a guide for all patients plans to make cataract surgery. 🙏🏻🌺
This is the best info. I originally thought I would go panoptix but I'm glad I went mono yesterday. I had a hard time getting the right explanation of each. I didn't see this video but it gives me piece of mind I went the right way per your explanation. I wore glasses all my life. My glasses are providing so much safety from tree branches and different cleaning sprays that double back to hit the glasses. I want to wear glasses for the safety features. I still tinker around at 80yrs old. I can't even notice I had my first surgery yesterday except for the clear vision compared to my other eye. All my friends had the mono lens and are very happy. Mentioning pilots and perfectionist was all I had to hear.
I hope anyone considering lens exchange and researching their options finds this video. It's far and away the best I've come across. I was easily able to "place" myself based on the comparison photos and summaries. Thank you for this!
I could not stop myself appreciating your video.Its cristal clear
I wished I would’ve watched this before I had surgery! The halos around lights at night make me crazy because I chose multi-focal lenses. This is an excellent video!
Thank you for this video. You answered my question I had about the PanOptix lens and if I wanted them. I wanted to be able to not wear glasses but after watching this video I am going with the mono lens. I would rather have the good clear vision with the brighter contrast. I am more of a perfectionist and do some driving at night. Thank you so much for the examples and taking the time to put this presentation together.
Wow! Am I glad I stumbled onto this video! I had seen other videos from Dr. Devgan comparing two different brands of lenses, and another that said he would choose monofocal for his own eyes. Now I know exactly why he said that. As a 70 year old who flies RC planes as a hobby, I'm looking for the clearest distance vision possible. Wearing glasses for closer distances won't be an issue since I've been wearing them for the last 35 years anyway.
This is essential viewing for any patient wanting to make an informed decision about the IOL. None of the information discussed in this video was provided by the facility I visited for testing and preparation for a cataract surgery. The optician conducting the consultation didn’t provide a POV or ask questions that would help me make a decision and I’m glad I wanted to be informed. The billing department at the optical center were attempting to convince me the multi focal lens was the right choice without discussing my need, and that was a red flag to me. Thank you Doctor Devgan.
I am 48 Got operated 2 days back for cataract asked my surgeon to give me best long distance vision no matter how much it cost…..told him about all the option but he chose monofocal lenses Alcon acry soft IQ lens…….won’t believe the Vision is so sharp and clean….couldn’t believe my self…….so guys trust your surgeon….I don’t mind putting reading glasses but the distance vision of mine is almost 20/20….This doctor is so true the best of all I reviewed.
Thank you for this excellent presentation on for Cataract Surgery Lens Implant Options... What a great Video!. Clear, concise and detailed. No one could have explained it better... Thank you again and best wishes. PS: As an aside, I enjoy listening to your soothing and reassuring voice.
This information is very helpful. Visual learners need to see the charts. Excellent presentation without a sales pitch. Thank you.
Your explanation about the pros and cons is very clear. Thank you. My eye surgeon did not spend the time and only gave me a price list and short description. I guess it is best to do the research on your own, as it is your eyes.
This is the best explanation of different cataract replacement lenses I've seen. Thank you Dr. Devgan
Never seen anyone doing such fine presentation. Thank you for helping me understand.
This is an excellent resource for patients and very well explained, thank you for sharing Dr Devgan!
Beautifully explained sir....never understood premium IOLs so well.
This is the best video I’ve seen on different lens types. Thank you.
You are a born teacher. I am about to have cataract surgery and I am happy I found your video.
Thank you Dr. Devgan, no where will you get information like this. God bless you for having the character to tell the truth about Cataract Surgery and lens replacement! I hope every one likes your videos and subscribes to your channel! With some Ophthalmologist charging $ 5000.00 or more per eye for premium lens a patient know all the benefits and negatives of Cataract Lens surgery an replacement!
It's absolutely very comprehensive and nice explanation of cataract surgery and selecting what types of lenses you should pick , I'm really appreciate it big thanks
Love you Dr. Uday Devgan for demystifying the choice of lens.
... I had my appointment this AM, 3/15/2023, for an evaluation and explanation of options IF, the findings were to lean towards surgery. I am happy to say, my cataracts are not that bad yet at 66 y/o.
THIS video made it VERY clear what the options were and why someone would choose one over the other.
I have a much better understanding now then when the doctor explained it to me hours ago.
For me, Mono, clear distance and wear glasses for mid-range and near viewing.
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent presentation; it answered most of my questions on lens options. I almost chose the EDOF until he explained how it allows for less contrast which is important to an artist. Thx Dr. Devgan.
Ditto for me. I am a quilter and love to see things brightly, clearly and with full range of contrast. So a monofocal works best for me and I am happy to wear reading glasses/computer glasses for close work. I wanted perfect vision to be available at any range, and did not mind needing readers to get that.
Very good discussion on the complication of selecting correct IOL . You have made it clear about confusion of choosing the right lense. Thank you very much.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video - just what I needed!
Love the summary. I have been wearing glasses all my life and I feel that is the vision of my external image that I want to continue. I am up to get surgery soon at the Shiely Eye institute at UCSD. And because of your vdo I will go to mono focal. Thank you so much. Higher contrast and less halo is more important to me.
Thank you so much for your valuable Cataract Surgery Lens Implant Options! I just had an exam and given lens options with no explanation of lens, just cost as the outfit was pushing Laser options which are so expensive. No comparison or info on the different kinds of lens at all. I chose to go to another Surgeon for second opinion since I was so uncomfortable with the lack of information. My daughter was with me and feels the same. Appointment with the new Surgeon next Thursday, but this time I'm more informed and know what I want thanks to you! Again, thank you so much!!!
If u hv previous macular edema pls let ur optha see ur OCT/eye xray.. so he can give u better assessment which procedure for cataract surgery and IOL implant. In my case phacoemulsification was done last yr nov, zeiss lens monofocal right eye was used.. So far no complication.. vision is good.. left eye to be scheduled next month.
Mind sharing your experience? Cost wise? :)
Thank You Dr Devgan. The side by side images helped me make my decision as to which lens to go for. God Bless You.
Thank you Dr Devgan for the explicit explanation. 🙏
That's about the most detailed and fair explanation I've come across.
What a fantastic presentation. Thank you so much for answering all my questions about my upcoming choices after cataract surgery. I feel at peace now with my decision.
What did you decide?
Excellent presentation!
This information has removed all the confusion that I was having.
Thank you for the best information on the IOLs. It, especially the last part of "so how do you choose?" does help me to choose the very IOL I need for cataract surgery.
This is the best advice I have received to date. Thankyou very much.
A very informative video for us trying to decide the best IOL before operation. Thanks a LOT Doc 😊😊
Thank you, Dr. Devgan.
Your explanation is so clear and makes a lot of sense. I love it ❤.
Many doctors just do not offer other lenses beside the monofocal ones, including mine.
Hope I live near your office.
Great summary Doc...this should be mandatory viewing for all patients prior to even coming into office.
Agreed!

Great presentation👍 The best explanations I have found anywhere, Thank You.
I have seen a number of videos, yours is the absolute best. Really providing insights for what is meant by halo, etc...a nice "So how do you choose?" questionaire
I wish you were here in Seattle washington, I would go with your company
Dear sir,
You gave me true knowledge. My age is 38 and I'm having cataracts in both eyes... You are God to my life.... Excellent sir... Great job.
I got Cataract done for my both eyes with Dr. Anil Kumar in Secunderabad, India, he suggested mono focal as it is the best and I went with it, however when I asked him if I can have multi focal, so that my myopia also can be corrected, he said monofocal is best, and asked me to go through this post to understand the advantages of Monofocal over multi, I think he is correct. Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Can you see your cell phone without glasses?
This was great! It really has helped me understand what I need/want to know. Thank you!
Thank you so so much, this is the most and best detailed education on cataract/ IOL premium lenses I have seen. The graphic pictures explains everything. This is in 2018, hope you have a more updated video which I know will be high end. Thank you again Doc. Am about to get cataract surgery, I choose panOptic ( that will be the trifocal ). I wish you were in my state. I kept watching this. Great education.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️/🇯🇲/🇱🇷
.same choise thats one month but i cant read yet are you like me after one month
Thank you Dr. Devgan you are amazing.
Best explanation out there! I now feel comfortable with my lense choice on my upcoming cataract surgery.
What did you decide? I'm painstakingly trying to confirm a decision for myself as well. Are you happy with the outcome?
Thank you sir I got the clarity of the knowledge of lens before my catract surgery
Excellent explanation of options available with excellent graphics and pictures.
Thank you for this video. You gave me an understanding for pointing my Doc in the direction I would like to pursue. I wish you had added one more option to your "visual range" comparison ... "monovision with staggered Rx monofocal lens". I have had myopia since 2nd grade and used monovision in contacts since my 20s and now at 67 my cataract in my dominate right has made me go from -2.75 to -5.50. With glasses, I had single vision lens for distance and would look above (or below) my glasses to read. I think I will put a monofocal for distance in my dominate right and see how that works. If my left eye deteriorates, I'm hoping I can then use monovision for the left eye.
That was fantastic!! I am only 46 and have never had to wear glasses. I’ve really been struggling with this decision and this has helped tremendously! Thank you!!
Thx I also wasn't told of pro's and con's of each so I think the monofocal the best for me.
Thx for explaining it so throughly.
Fantastic! Just what I needed before I visit my Dr on wed 👍
I am getting scheduled now and have been contemplating which lens to get, I have watched numerous videos on this and can now finally say I know what I want all due to this one video. Thank you!
What did you decide? I'm painstakingly trying to confirm a decision for myself as well.
@@jenniferkeefe5842 sorry for the late response, I picked the long distance as my right eye can see close distance well and combined they switch back and forth in my brain automatically so it’s much like normal sight. If I get a cataract in my right eye I am pretty sure I’ll get a close distance lens for that eye.
I will have Cataract surgery next week. This is a very good decision maker Video
This is the best, most through, and complete description of the three choices for lenses. Excellent presentation!!
Thank you! So informative and detailed vs other sources I've found re: choosing a cataract surgery lens.
Wonderful and very informative presentation.
Thank you,
Terrific explanation of the decision matrix!
Thank you!
Awesome informative presentation!! Thank you!
It’s the best explanation ever proved with pictures
You are excellent
Thank you so much for your time and effort ❤❤❤
Next month I’m having both eyes done and this has helped me know what options are available and what questions to ask. Excellent thank you!
What did you decide?
What did u decide
Superb
You are amazing Dr Uday Devgan.
Wow. Why can all Drs be like this? The best explanation I’ve seen and made me feel better about my mono vision choice.
Hi hows your monovision?
Much much much appreciated
Great explanation
Wish I had this explanation from my surgeon before I had my implants, too late now. Good on you for making this video, it will be much appreciated by many. The only thing I would add is for ppl like me with really bad vision (-12.50, -8.50) and that the difference in vision between the lenses would be greater.
this is an excellent resource for patients.
Thank you sir.
It is really helpful.
Thank you for fantastic explanation 🙂
God Bless You doctor for this and all other videos.
Very Informative! Thank You!
This is an excellent presentation. Thanks. I only wish the EyeHance monofocal-plus had been on your chart
Excellent explanation Sir
Very well explained and very informative as I will be undergoing my cataract surgery this week if my blood glucose level becomes normal.
Perfect answer, thanks alot
Great explanation!
Very well done, thank you
I borrowed one of Uday Devgan 's book about cataract surgery before I had my cataract surgery a couple of weeks ago. It was very helpful and informative. Also I watched this video a while back which helped me decide which lens to get. Thanks Dr Devgan.
How did it go & what kind of lens did you choose ultimately?
@@mypluto1234 I got the up close vision mono lens. I have been near sighted my whole life and did not want to lose that vision. Can see very clearly out of that eye now. Before the cataract made my vision very blurry close up and in the distance. Surgeon said my cataract was very thick and needed to removed.
Thank you Dr. Devgan for excellent presentation! According to your expertise, which lens would be preferable for a healthy young patient 39 years-old with subcapsular cataract in both eyes who works in intermediate distance?
Thank you for your superb content! I am due to have cataract surgery soon to fit a lens in my other eye having previously had a successful monofocal implant! Please advise whether you have had good outcomes using the Alcon Vivity EDOF lens and what is the minimum distance at which I should expect sharp focus.
Thanks! I am about to have cataract surgery and was trying to decide between EDOF and single-lens IOL.
I watch several videos and this is by far the most informative and clear explanations of the differences.
@@saadkhalid8408 I went with the vivity. The result were fantastic for me. Unless I am reading a book with small print in bed with poor lighting i have no need for reading glasses. I basically don't need need glasses and have good vision from 14 inches on. I can even read text messages on my watch!
How is your night vision?
@@debbieb5673 Night vision is good. Do have some hallows around some lights as well as some star burst. But it is no bothersome as before. I used to avoid driving at night and now it's no issue.
Thanks for replying and I was wondering which Vivity did you go with , x wave or acrysof IQ .
Thank you for posting your choice and thoughts on your results. I am in the same situation and this is helping so much!!
Thank you for this info .
So well explained I was told to get cataract surgery & was not comfortable now I understand. Too bad I am in Florida.
Thank you so much for your helpful video. I was recently diagnosed with early stage glaucoma and am extremely near sighted with moderate astigmatism too. The final eye measurements are yet to be done. I may choose a toric lens to correct the astigmatism, but I don’t think the trifocal lens will be an option. However will mention it to my doctor as well as mono vision lenses. You didn’t mention mono vision lenses here so maybe 🤔 you do not care for the option. It’s all so much for the patient to absorb! Thanks again!
Thank you for explaining the difference in lenses. I canceled my surgery because I was not comfortable about the implants. Your video has helped me understand and allows me to hopefully make the right choice.
What did you decide?
What did u decide
@@deniselanglois6193what is your decision?
@anniephillips561 So what did you decide, inquiring minds want to know?
Brilliantly done educational and marketing piece… thank you!!
Very nice Dr
Thanks a lot
Very good presentation.
Just had my left eye done November 1 2022 with a CIareon IOL +21.5D words cannot describe how happy I am absolutely unbelievable how well I see thank you Doc for such a good presentation ..
Hi is it a monofocal lense ?
How much glare with the panoptix ? Thanks
Excellent presentation. Does this video cover light adjustable lenses?
This is very helpful information. In your graph of Visual Range With Each Lens Type (Without Glasses) could you add a curve for a Light Adjustable Lens? Thank you
Great video! Thanks
Amazing video
THANKS 🙏 I already asked my hospital for monofocal! 🙏🙏
Dr. Devgan, I have watched this amazing video several times as I am planning to have cataract surgery at age 82. I am wondering how accurate the comparisons are between mono-focal and tri-focal implants. Are these exaggerations needed to show differences, or or these differences truly realistic, especially the night comparison?
Now I get it. I was going to go with the vivity, but I am a perfectionist. So my optometrist's suggestion of the monovision distance was better. Thankyou! I have worn trifocals since 5th grade, could not adapt to contact lenses. I tried about 30 kinds.
Also I want to see stars at night.
Doctor thanks for the wonderful explanation. I am planning for cataract surgery. Can you please give your opinion on eyhance. They say it is a monofocal lens with enhanced inter meditate vision and hence give the same vision quality as normal monofocal lens and not an edof. Can I go for it.
Well explained sir Can v implant EDOF for 2nd eye if first eye is monofocal thank you
Thank you Sir
Great video Doc.
Could you please help with the differences between Slit knife and Clear corneal knife.
Is that necessary to buy these new knife or Slit is well enough?
Thanks for the presentation. Can you please comment on the lens Tecnis Eyhance IOL, thank you
Thanks for this excellent video showing pictures with all the pros and cons of lenses... I have a simple question... if you have coke bottle glasses now and get cataract surgery and have a Mono or EDOF lens put in will you still be near sighted and need thick glasses??? Also will your distance vision be better with mono or EDOF rather than Multifocal lense when not having glasses or contacts??? I just want to know if i will be able to drive without glasses with whatever lense i choose....thanks again for this....
