Thank you for this video. Yes, you’re right, we don’t have ANY synthetic lenses that will ever replace our natural visual acuity, especially if you just need glasses to correct your VA. I’m glad to see that some countries don’t offer medical insurance/aid for some of these IOLs. I’d suggest if you’re considering it, look at EVERY aspect, not just on good promises. If you have myopia, say -3.0 or -3.5 and astigmatism, I’d suggest that you stick to your glasses, because most surgeons won’t tell you, as they “over promise” and are really just trying to sell you a product that you essentially don’t need. If you want to be independent of glasses, use contact lenses. Unnecessary surgeries DO have risks.
I am thankful I happened on your channel. I am currently investigating all aspects of IOL for myself. So much information to digest. I will be asking questions, if that is appropriate with you. I am a medical person for decades and agree that patients never get to whole picture regarding any procedure. Look forward to your channel.
Thank you for your knowledge, it helped me choose the lens I needed for myopia, justify my choice to the surgeon, and place both eyes on the same day. I’m happy. Thanks to you all. I had to master optics, compare everything and make my choice. The surgeon more often placed other IOLs
I'm very happy to hear that! Could you please share what was your myopia and what decision you made which makes you happy? It may help me and other people. Thank you!
Thank you! for your expansive IOL and cataract surgery knowledge. My wife will be getting surgery soon ... and your information has benefited us tremendously.
You are doing a fantastic job trying to link all those bubbles together. I have already uncovered the lack of communication and explanation from surgeons. They are sort of secretive about certain things. I have been in process since February and hopefully now I’m getting towards 2 appointments with two different surgeons who are going to sell me what they want to offer. For me: I expect an explanation about the IOLs they quoted, why they chose it, benefits and so on. One clinic on a phone consultation suggested me they have any IOLs available which is also confusing, but I hope the surgeon will narrow it down. I did a massive research on any IOL I found on your channel and have some ideas but there are at least 4 choices of EDOF Toric I favour, which one to choose? I struggle as I’m not the one who’s going to install it. As I’m getting towards the end of my research the final worrying part is choosing what diopters to have in eyes. On the phone she said they do for example: Monovision - one eye distance and intermediate, another intermediate near. Mini monovision: like -1 diopter on one and 0 (perfect or plano) on dominant: that may give me 35-40cm. They do both eyes the same. That would give me 50cm. I’m honestly struggling here thinking that one eye will be disabled if I chose mini mono. Now I see no lines in right eye. How many lines would I see if it’s -1 diopter in right eye to compare to the perfect left eye? Should I choose mini monovision? What difference in diopters between eyes would you suggest for me? Sorry, I searched but I didn’t find your video about this topic. Please help and thank you for all your hard work you are doing for people. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have found out so many things about it.
Hello! Many thanks for your warm words! Well, it's true that doctors look secretive, but it is what it is. That's why I'm working here to help people know more. Honestly I'd like to have similar channels for all healthcare areas, as if I will have any health issues when I will need to take a decision... well, I'd like to get full information, without marketing claims, doctor's secrecy and objective. Regarding monovision, it's in my plan to do a video about that, especially important now as there are more options for monovision like mini- / micro- in additional to classic full monovision. What lens, what mono vision range is depends on what you would like to get, and what you want to avoid, so having no idea about your needs, I can not suggest anything. We may schedule a call to define that and to help you be prepared for a discussion with the surgeon (available by the link: iol-adviser.com/consultation), or I hope in 4-6 weeks I'll launch my new project (iol-adviser.ai), which will allow you to chat with trained by me AI model, which will give you all the answers (as I hope). Generally - focus on your visual experience before, needs and expectations in terms of "to get"/"to avoid" All the best with your appointments!
@@iol-adviserThank you so much for all your help and wisdom, doctor, wish you a good health. I will be listening to myself, reflect, think of options and I’m sure I will get there with my decision. All your videos has been so helpful. Hope to see more of your videos soon, hope a video about monovision would help many people to understand what to expect.
Surgeons are so busy minting money, they have no time to waste chit chatting with patients. If something goes wrong, they always wave the consent form saying all surgeries are risky and no guarantee provided.
Not all the same, but generally many surgeons are thinking in that way, that's true. However sometimes, despite they think another way, patient may have a perception of that way of thinking. What I'm doing working with the surgeons in my practice - I'v teaching them to communicate with the patient in a productive way to help find a personal value for visual needs and then to match the visual needs with the particular IOL technology and model. And IOL technologies and models knowledge is the weakest part for many many surgeons. That's why I'm here to help :)
Hello sir my right eye is around 35mm axial lenght and -21D the iol calculations suggest zero power iol and my surgeon recommend to not implant an iol and to leave the eye without a lens what is your opinion he will also clean the eye from floaters with combined operation phaco + ppv and endolaser thank you for your opinion
oh, sorry to hear that. It's really extremely high amount of myopia and the eyeball is large. I'd discuss with the surgeon the residual refraction and theoretical visual acuity you may get with that solution, and then try to get a second opinion. There a lenses solution exist for extreme diopters, so it's a complicated question where the IOLs available at your region and your eye health and anatomy status shall be taken into consideration
Hello. Tecnis is a family of IOLs from Johnson&Johnson, including Eyhance, Symfony, Synergy, PureSee and Odyssey. ClearView 3 is a multifocal IOL from LensTec representing the segmented-bifocal multifocal (bi-focal) IOLs, with far and near focus (for the ClearView 3). Similar segmented-bifocal manufactured by Teleon-Surgical in Europe. Generally bifocal IOLs are not able to provide with the good intermediate visual acuity as bifocal IOL are either Far+near OR Far+intermediate and in that case near visual acuity will be low. But clinically that design called asymmetric segmented multifocal demonstrates fair enough intermediate. Hope this helps

Agree with your point. Thank you for your comment.

I hope her surgery will bring a vision she expects.

What is your opinion of the Tecnis Clearview 3 multifocal iol?

thank you!
It's raining there?
Yes. I decided to keep filming as cataract somehow related to waterfall and the waterfall somehow related to rain ☔️:)
what a stupid question and yes there ARE stupid questions.
