FYI there is are great forums/groups on Reddit and Facebook that dive in pretty deep with information for potential future folks with cataracts. You can any questions and there are usually a few ophthalmologists along with many people who have already had the surgery. Don’t trust the overhype from the companies that make the IOLs or even some of the doctors. Every eye is different and expectations need to be tempered. Most people end up satisfied but remember to get all available info so you can make an informed choice
I am going to have surgery in February. I currently don't wear glasses for reading, and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't care about wearing glasses for distance vision. What is my best option? (I don't care about insurance coverage.)
Thank you for your knowledge and for the excellent explanation of everything
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
You mentioned monofocal would be the best selection if one has a pre-existing eye condition. Would higher risk of developing an eye condition also be a good reason for selecting monofocal? For example, my Dr said I have an enlarged optic nerve in one eye so am at a risk for glaucoma, that they'd want to keep an eye on. Would getting glaucoma and having say multi-focal or EDOF lens already implanted compromise your vision quality more than if you had had monofocal lenses implanted?
Risk of an eye disease is probably not enough of a reason to go with monofocal...but ask your surgeon
@@GoodOptometryMorning OK , thank you. I asked my Dr about the possibility of Vivity. She pretty much nixed it, that I'd be wasting my money, since one eye is so bad off that she doubted that it could be brought up to 20/20 with any IOL
I am 66, have strong myopia, -9.0, -10.0 , had presbyopia, had mild astigmatism, do not have any eye surgery in the past . Retina is healthy and no muscular glaucoma issues. I am concerned with the panoptic lenses . With the high myopia , can it be corrected to 20/20 ?
High myopia can be corrected with most implants. Keep in mind that cataract surgery will not improve your vision better than what your best potential...ie if you didn't have 20/20 vision with your glasses in your 20's, you won't have 20/20 vision after cataract surgery
Just recently started watching and subscribed to your videos after going to my Optomitrist and he told me I was starting to show signs of cataracts and he advised me to do some research on getting cataract surgery done. You have interesting videos and i appreciate your information on the new lenses that companies are making now. ------ I'm 68yrs old and wore glasses for near sightedness all my life (since a child) and I just got new glasses for my drivers license and my Optomitrist told me i'm nearing the end of his machines ability to match my perscription for glasses and I have always had floaters and he said he is seeing signs that I am starting to develop Cataracts, he didn't mention other eye diseases. Just wanted to thank you and I appreciate any information on new types of cataract lenses like this video as I am going to have that done in the future.
Thanks for your sharing your story. Keep us updated on how it goes. and thanks for subscribing.
@@GoodOptometryMorning Dr, please help me I put hylogel lubricating eyedrops in one of the eyes of my father, he said that i missed the dose it did`nt felt it got in the eye and I am not sure if it is so when i pumped it so I tried for the second time, now my question is I hope that I did`nt give my father 2 drops in his eyes of hylogel.iS it bad if so.?Thank you
I am in my 70s and had both eyes done this month. They used the Alcon Clareon standard lenses, and after 2 weeks, I no longer need my glasses at 14" (where I asked them to set for computer work). Should get new progressives in 4 more weeks since I have heavy duty astigmatism in both eyes, and of course, the distance is blurry which I expected.. In fact the day after surgery, my vision was pretty good.
The killer is that Insurance and Medicare part B, only cover the standard lenses, which in this day and age is absurd! The way I understood it was that they wouldn't even apply what they covered against premium or Toric lenses which were about $5500 per eye. With the standard lenses, I am out of pocket about 1k USD for the cataract surgery, surgery ctr, and anesthesiologist. I actually miss wearing glasses since I have worn them for more than 50 years.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad you are seeing better after cataract surgery. It is a pretty incredible procedure don't you think?
@@GoodOptometryMorning Absolutely! I think I spent 2 hrs while they dilated my pupils..then another hour getting prepped and put under light anesthesia (and waiting my turn..LOL). The operation itself took about 15 minutes (manual..no laser). Then maybe another 15 minutes waiting for the anesthesia to wear off; and then they led me out to a waiting taxi. Just like a well oiled machine!🙂
I was dreading my upcoming DMV renewal, but now I can't wait for their eye test. (tested 20/20 a few days after the operation, without glasses.) The clarity and sharpness of colors is back to being amazing.
@@jeffme6891 Thanks again for sharing. Fortunately your experience is the norm.
I'm scheduled for the same as you got: Clareon standard with focal distance aiming for intermediate. My Dr is going to set one eye for -2 and the other for -3 to get this effect. Do you know if your Dr did the same sort of setting? When you say your distance is blurry, when does it start getting blurry? Last night I was watching TV from 15' away and was wondering if I'd be able to read the closed captions with my IOLs set for intermediate. I'm going to follow up with my Dr with this specific question but wondered about your experience. The progressive glasses that you are going to get, do you expect to be using them for driving only, so you can see distance out of the top part, then it graduates to less power further down?
@@jeffme6891 Did you find the colors true to what you expect or did they have a cool tint similar to under fluorescent lighting? I noticed that Clareon offers yellow-tinted or blue light filtering lenses as opposed to clear tint for those who might want it.
Great information, clearly and precisely explained. I was just booked with an ophthalmologist to have my cataracts removed so I am trying to educate myself. This video has helped a bunch. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful. Post an update on what you choose and why.
This is so interesting.You have explained really well. I have two cataracts growing. So daunting. I am pleased to listen to you.The optician said come back in a years time!!! Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.You are so impressive.
Glad it was helpful! What country are you from?
I was set up for cataract surgery but canceled because I didn't feel good about it because I have Fuch's Distrophy and that is sometimes affected by the surgery. I have used some homemade DMSO drops that have helped a lot with the FD and I won't be able to use them any more if I have artificial lenses because DMSO is a solvent and may break down the new lenses. Do you think it would be a problem?
Excellent! Thank you so much. This really helps with my decisions. ☺️
I'm not sure I'd care about "glistenings" as you describe it. As long as it didn't produce any bothersome side effects on my vision, I don't care if others see slight reflection off of them. My Dr is an Alcon user, so I'll just rely on whichever model she gets at time of my surgery.
I do have a very strong prescription. Short sighted. I am concerned and a bit dismayed at what is truly is going on. How long do the lens last. Do you have to go back lots to be replaced. I am in England. Thank you so very much.
Lens implants will out live you. They don't need to be replaced.
@@GoodOptometryMorning And cataracts won't grow back, from what I was told.
Could you comment on the BLF (blue light filtering) option for these lenses and why one might select it (or not select it)?
there is not really a blue light filter option in cataract IOL's. They do have UV protection
@@GoodOptometryMorning Thanks for replying back. I went to the Alcon Clareon site and it shows two different models for the monofocal IOL (which is the one I'm interested in). One is UVA (UV protection) and the other is UV + BLF (UV + blue light filtering). Model nos: CC60WF is the first one SY60WF is the second. I'm not so concerned about BLF but instead on how the colors appear. The BLF lens is tinted yellow (to block out the blue light) and may be preferable to some people as the result is warmer in tone and closer to what a naturally aging person would see.
