Thanks for watching! Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions for video content. I'll see you in my next video ♥
I just had cataract surgery on my left eye I’m very nearsighted was a -18 in that eye I’m am currently 2 weeks removed from the surgery both my retina specialist and ophthalmologist who did my surgery said I should be fine when it comes to a retina detachment or tear, my question is were they just saying that to put me at ease or since they know my eye internally more than I do they were telling the truth? Thanks
I’m on the medication FLOMAX and read that this can be a problem with cataract surgery.
What’s your opinion?
kudos to dr.Michele Lee and to this channel !!!
I appreciate your kind words ❤
Nice to see you tube saying your a licensed doctor in the US. They are so special. Still watching... BTW Are all surgeons competent to provide cataract surgery? How can one find out if the surgeon has any negatives on their record?
Thanks for your continued support!
Interesting. Every eye specialist I've been to wants to put off cataract surgery for as long as possible.
Yes - there is definitely a sweet spot. You don't want to get it done too early but you also don't want to wait until the last minute. Thanks for watching!
Make sure you do a really good check on your Eye Surgeon.
@@sallymcley4404I see a Glaucoma Specialist.
You're too young you dont need to see well anymore you're fine
You're too old so you dont need to see anyway you're fine
BS. What's the real reason you are preventing someone seeing well enough to function. Real life in office conversations for decades.
Allowed them to test for everything, have some conditions but they don't seem to be problematic with cat surgery.
Honesty and solutions is all we want, not vague ideas and gatekeeping vision saving intervention.
PS love this MD, but not the other random ones weve seen.
Medicare pays 💯 so it is the new cash cow.
Wow, My Surgeon didn't even talk about it. He talked in percentages of things that can go wrong that was it. Great Explanation 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are excellent. I am working through them, one by one, as I prepare for my own surgery. My surgeon here in Toronto was delighted with the questions I came to her with - all prompted by your presentations.
I have the risk factor of a long eye (around -8 in both eyes). I have dominant eye cataract surgery scheduled for Nov 21 and non-dominant eye scheduled for Nov 28. I have to inform the surgeon which lens I want next week. He recommends either the Symfony optiblue or the Vivity. I'm pretty sure I will choose Vivity. Thanks for making these informational videos!
Best of luck on your upcoming surgery!
@@MicheleLeeMD Thank you.
These risks raised some questions: What is included in a "normal" cataract surgery? What causes the additional costs to a patient from surgery not being "normal?" My surgeon mentioned additional costs if there were complications, but did not detail what was included in complications.
I had cataract surgery on both eyes in August of this year. The first surgery came off without any issues and I thought the second would as well. Two weeks later during the operation on the second eye, my heartbeat rate went from the 80s to the 130s and back to the 80s during surgery (which was successfully completed). The surgeon sent me off to the ER due to his seeing atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) on the EKG and am now on a blood thinner. During both surgeries I was on a heart monitor, and nothing was observed during the first surgery... even though the location, doctor, nurse, and medication were the same... so, I think this might have been my first instance of A-Fib. My vision in both eyes is great and I am not wearing eyeglasses for the first time in 66 years. I don't fault the surgeon, but have you observed instances of A-Fib during your surgeries?
Hi, yes sometimes we can catch heart rhythm irregularities like A-fib before or during surgery. Thanks for sharing!
Another very informative video!! Love your clear and concise delivery. As someone with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, normal corneal thickness, at risk for glaucoma (IOP 17OD, 21OS. on Timolol 0.25%) based on borderline optic nerve OTC, a refraction of -3.0, AND now cataracts, how soon is early for cataract surgery? (PXE, cataracts diagnosed 2-3yrs ago). Cataracts do make night driving a challenge but do not otherwise complicate life. Would it be prudent to be shopping around now for a surgeon who does more potentially complicated cases as my current ophthalmologist no longer does surgery? I realize that the PXE and glaucoma progress at different speeds in different people, but on average should I consider that I will probably need surgery in 2 or 3 or 5 or ??? yrs?
So did they say what is the worst complication here.
Really. Cant get an answer over here.
Potential complications both during surgery and after are much more numerous and serious for patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. That is why most ophthalmologist will recommend you select a eye surgeon who has a lot of experience with these types of complicated patients.
@@wesleyc1029Apparently they dont exist, no opthmo has ever referred to another opthmo. In decades.
Very interesting - I have -8.5 both eyes and only one eye has a cortical cataract first spotted 2 years ago. That eye has a scleral buckle for a slow moving retinal detachment in 2008. Although the other eye is clear my vision in the affected eye is now very blurred and my optometrist says I should now consider surgery. I’m concerned about the retinal issue though. Any thoughts? Am thinking I’d go to the same surgeon for the cataract as did the buckle.
I love your thorough explanation....Thank-you. Is your clinic in USA or Canada ?
Hi, I practice in the US in Scottsdale, Arizona. Thanks for watching ❤
@@MicheleLeeMD I have to talk to my boss and my wife to agree on moving my job to Arizona. I dream of hot weather and good ophthalmologist.
Hello Dr. Lee _ Do I need to send my prescription from my optometrist to my ophthalmologist?
Hey I’m interested in your work getting eye surgery for my wife who has Cataract in both eyes / 90 % vision loss
Dr. Lee, I am a sixty-one year old primary care physician based in India considering cataract surgery on my right this year. 'Grade 1 cataract' with 20/30 acuity after correction. I have been moderately myopic since my early teens, a presbyope since my mid-forties. PVD with Weiss ring in both eyes since 2021 with healthy retina and macula. Given that my current binocular vision is near-perfect (with glasses) in terms of clarity (including the smallest print), contrast, colour vibrancy and night-vision, what do you think is the risk-benefit trade-off in opting for immediate phaco surgery for my right eye (or both eyes sequentially) and what would be my best lens choice (voracious reader, movie buff, okay with glasses 24/7 and finicky about detail/quality of vision)? Warm regards. Will appreciate a response.
Is posterior polar cataract an emergency ? Can PPC expand and cover the entire posterior capsule ? And can viscodisdection break the adhesion between posterior polar cataract and posterior capsule and hence facilitate the removal of cataract ? Please let me know, thanks
I have a -10/ -9.50 dr says I probably won’t be able to get to 20/20 because of my High numbers 🙁
Great summary of risk factors. What causes a natural lens to become too "dense"? Is it because of normal increase in cloudiness with age, or due to some other factor? Is there a gradual and predictable worsening, or can it happen suddenly?
Great question! The lens can become dense gradually or very suddenly depending on rsk factors like trauma, other surgery (like a retina surgery), or exposure to risk factors like steroid drops and UV. Hope that helps!
@@MicheleLeeMD Thank you.
I wish I'd never had mine done. Biggest mistake I've ever made.
