9:23-10:42: Closing thoughts
Most patients considering cataract or premium lens replacement surgery are scared.
Scared that they will have a complication.
Scared that their surgery will not go well.
Scared that they will go blind.
The reality is that cataract and lens replacement surgery is:
1 super safe
2 patients feel pressure but minimal to no pain
3 the risk of blindness is about 1 in 5000
Our team here at Austin Eye is hyper-focused on ensuring the best and safest outcomes for our patients.
Let me bring YOU in to our OR so you can watch how we do cataract surgery.
Conclusion:
The patient in this video is typical of most of our patients:
1 They were comfortable during the procedure
2 Surgery went well
3 The patient could carry -on a conversation during surgery
4 Immediately after surgery, they felt fine
5 Most patients typically leave our center 5-10 minutes after their surgery concludes
Hopefully after watching this video, you have a better sense of what to expect when you have cataract or premium lens replacement surgery. And hopefully you’ll feel a little more comfortable with what to expect. Thank you for your time!

Thank you so much for your videos, Dr. Wong. It has truly made me feel much more comfortable as my surgery date approaches. It's been quite an adventure getting to the point I am at to finally have lens replacement surgery in two weeks. I am active duty Navy, so scheduling the procedure in between deployments and missions has been difficult. Unfortunately, but now fortunately, I was not a candidate for LASIK due to my "extreme" farsightedness (+5.50 Right Eye and +5.00 Left), and the Navy did not support RLE without cataracts. I ran across an army doctor and was approved at a local Army Hospital a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I have been wearing contacts since I was eleven years old, back in 2001. Thank you again for the videos and they have been a blessing!
Thank you for your service!
I just had this exact surgery done at your surgery center today - about 12 hours ago. It was amazingly easy. Getting my other eye done in one week. Dr. Wong, you are a genius and your staff is the best. Thank you for the excellent care.
I had mine done in Louisville last month by a top Doctor here. I have Synergy with great results.
At the hospital they used GA in my IV to put me to sleep so I didn't get to see/hear any of this. I wasn't even sure they did anything to my eye until the next morning when they removed the patch and I could see everything in 4K. Clareon Vivity along with mini-mono is an awesome combination. No glasses for reading or distance vision.
These videos are fascinating. I can't look away.
I look forward to new tech on the horizon like the Juvene lens. My retina specialist recently said I have the super early stages of a cataract, but it's absolutely nothing to worry about.
Maybe in 10-15 yrs, it might be a consideration. By then, hopefully those fluid lenses will be out of clinical trials and long term users supporting efficacy :D
Thank you for the video, but I couldn't finish it, because I am now terrified of having my eyes done. I didn't realize I would be awake and have to be looking straight ahead while it was being done.
I just had both eyes done over a period of three weeks at the Eye Center within the largest hospital in Charleston. While not totally out, there was an anesthesiologist involved, and while somewhat awake, I don’t remember much of the procedure at all.
@@CharlieHaber , thank you for your reply. I was diagnosed with cataracts when I was 40 and keep putting off the surgery. Meanwhile, 9 years later, my vision is to a point where I can't deny I need the surgery, but I'm still feeling my way through.
I had the same experience as Charlie, I was given something that made me feel a bit sleepy and happy and don't remember much of the procedure beyond being asked to look at a light. Don't worry, you'll be perfectly fine.
I had both done ..justva week ago my 2nd sonstill recovering..but qstvwas easier 2nd I was in pain in evening and threw up..1st was much easier ..I'm having to use fake tears now as sharp pain in eye otherwise but vision is great..short distance I need readers and my old ones are not great anymore..things are wonky
But op doesn't hurt and you can't see nothing
The breaking up of the old lens was a bit scary 😬 will need to watch again to get comfortable and prepare mentally for when my time comes……Many thanks !!
I’ve watched several of your videos, and they really helped with my fears. That is, right up until I saw all the draping. I’m extremely claustrophobic. I know you use pre-medication but when I was given that before, it was even worse because I couldn’t think clear enough to control my fears at all. I’d like to be able to see more clearly, but this fair is holding me back.
I am about to have my right eye cataract removed. I’ve had Mono vision glasses for years and before that for years wore only one contact lens in the right eye.
I have always been able to read the tiniest print with no correction with my left eye. This is very very important to me as I read constantly and have no need for readers.
My worry - the doctor wants to do my left (good reading eye) next in a couple of weeks. I don’t think I want to do that because something might happen to make it necessary to use readers. I would be very unhappy for sure.
Should I leave the left eye alone until it’s causing a problem? Will leaving the cataract alone for the time being hurt my eye in the long run?
I’m 75 yrs old with the smallest start of dry macular degeneration the doctor said.
(My Mother had wet macular degeneration bad enough to have the shots in her 80’s until she passed at 92.)
Very cool video, and thanks for posting it here. My Pop just had both of his eyes done like this and I just showed him this video because he was curious. He was amazed by how fast and seemingly simple it can be. Prep time takes the most time lol! He is pleased with the results of his surgeries and is now better informed as to what happened while he was on the table. Thanks again!
My dad got his done in 2005 in Egypt they even used ultrasound. He only paid something like 4000 which is cheap compared to the US.
Dr you are an excellent surgeon and when I'm ready for my surgery I would definitely fly over to you in Austin Texas.
At least im relieved of fear in undergoing the procedure. Many thanks, Dok.❤
Excellent video. I had my first eye surgery early this week & will be getting my second eye done next week. My experience was better than I thought. It was painless & just slight discomfort. This video is helpful to anyone planning on getting cataract surgery.
Thank you. Im having my left eye done the 10th and right eye the 24th
My BP shoot up throughout this clip. But thanks, this is very clear how this procedure is done
Im having my lense replaced tomorrow in Riyadh
What’s with the 3 Airbubbels u left behind in the eye?
Thanks for the great work Dr Wong
A very interesting video, I'm going to have my cataract surgery this Nov. 28, 2022 in Monroe NC., thank you for sharing.
Same here, same day in NYC!
Thank uuuuu❤
Thank you for the interesting video. I am currently trying to learn as much about the RLE surgery as possible. I am planned for the procedure at the end of October `23. I will have both my eyes done (shortsightedness, presbyopia) at the same time, this provider only offers it this way. Is there a reason why this should not be done? (The surgeon is well experienced 3000+ eyes and does surgery in various places in Europe).
Cool. Next week is my first cataract removal and Clareon Vivity lens implant surgery. I'll be listening for the sounds.
I want very much to not be reliant on glasses anymore. My eyes are healthy but I have presbyopia and some astigmatism. I’m-afraid to have too much halo effect at night. My question then is would perhaps the pan optics be good to get in one eye and then put the vivity lens in the other eye?? That might give me better near vision to read and less halos at night?
Really would appreciate your thoughts.
You gotta be one of the best surgeons out there I'm from New Jersey and I wish you were closer to me because I would have you do my left eye I have a Clarion Panoptics multifulcal toric in my right eye 2 months ago is still having some slight issues with pain and discomfort thinking it's from light sensitivity.
Was a breeze. The numbing eye drops stung for a minute and that was it. 3-4 hours after I had a bit of a headache. And some discomfort and that was ir
Thank you very much your video really helped me knowing the full operation before and after,well done to you all.
Shannon Wong, MD - How can I found out or do you know who the Top Surgeon is in Wisconsin or northern Illinois is ?
Am scared to death
How to prevent slipping the finger during surgery to injure other parts of the eye?
Is the sort of liquid you inject in the eye a type of solution that keeps the eye moist or does it just make the blood go away?
How can I have an appointment to examine my eyes with you Dr. Shannon Wong MD?
The surgery is really good, they freeze your eyes and you don't anything much.
Very insightful. Thank you for the information. Can you talk about “Light Adjustable IOLs”? Thanks
Our practice has chosen to not use the light adjustable lens.
I'm just afraid I won't be able to withstand not blinking for so long. How can someone not blink for that long? : (
We insert an instrument to keep the eyelids apart (to prevent blinking) while the eye is numb.
Are there different kind of lenses? Thanks.
How do I set an appt to meet with your team and possible do the premium lens placement surgery?
www.austineye.com
Hi Dr. Wong, I'm interested in premium IOLs but my eye doctor said I don't qualify since my axial length is 30 mm and the premium lenses don't have enough power to correct that degree of myopia. Is this true?
When we encounter this scenario, there are two options: 1) Piggybacking of a 2nd intraocular lens to correct the residual misfocus or 2) LASIK surgery in addition to lens implant surgery.
@@ShannonWongMD Thank you!
Well that was incredible!
Wich chopper do you use?
EP-134 chopper from Epsilon Eye.
Ave price for this procedure?
Thanks so much Sir
What is that weird musical sound during surgery?
The Stellaris elite phacoemulsification machine has sounds that provide audible feedback to the surgeon on what the instrument in the eye is doing: irrigation of fluid/aspiration of fluid/ultrasound energy or a combination of these.
I want a video about reverse optic capture
As you wish: ruclips.net/video/SZ8V1kT-6kA/видео.html
Can I play soccer or/and kick ball using my head after surgery and eye recovered? Wha happen if the ball hit my eye? Will lens be moved/broken and I lose my sight? Thanks,
A nicely done, comprehensive video. Mr. Wong can you actually confirm that the debris we see inside the eye at 9:18 are in fact clumps of collagen / protein inside the vitreous, that we usually call "floaters".
They have made my life a complete misery since January 4th and I wish a safer solution came to relieve us from non-stop mental agony.
I just turned 30 three weeks ago and I'm not severely nearsighted at all.
I see 3 bubbles (not floaters) at 9:18. The bubbles reabsorb within 1-2 hours.
@@ShannonWongMDBubbles are obviously fine and they are the product of the surgery. I was referring to the shadowy specks that lightly float around with the movement of the eye beyond those bubbles. I am are more than convinced they are floaters, the gentleman has plenty, but then again he's over double my age.
Vitreous strands/floaters are visible through the microscopes we use in 100% of patients. Everyone can and most will develop floaters that they see. Most learn to adapt and ignore them. Those that can't can consult with a retina surgeon to consider vitrectomy surgery to remove the vitreous floaters.
