    Thanks for sharing! I probably should have watched this before committing to the surgery. I just had the second eye done. The first eye was done last week, and I noticed long distance (including TV etc) is very fuzzy, whereas it used to be sharp. Short distance (up to arm's length) is getting better every day. I will go back and watch the older videos, but thank you for the sense of hope as the last few days I was getting a bit low on the long-distance issues.

    Three weeks in from my first eye One week in from my second eye. I was a glasses wearer from the age of 4 now 56 my left eye was minus 9.75 right eye minus 4.25 with loads of astigmatism. I eventually opted for toric mono-focal lenses the right eye set one dioptic lower than the left to aid near vision. After 1 day post op no pain or issues and 2 days post op my prescription was zero in the left and 0.03 in the right eye it has changed my life no glare no halo's (i drive a lot so didnt want halo's so didnt go for multifocal). Distance and colours are awesome I can see the car dashboard easily better than in my glasses previously, TV amazing and I can get away with no readers with the computer but it is a bit better with a plus 1.5 but I am more than happy with my result. I was seeing 3 traffic lights and double road markings before cataracts got me due to my short sightednes. My advice is research the surgeon thoroughly make sure he has done thousands of op's in all types of IOL lenses and listen to his advice and do the drops even though its a pain. Had mine done privately through my healthcare at work in the UK the surgeon is one of the most experienced and the best.

    I recently had cataract surgery done on both eyes. I chose a monofocal lens set for distance implanted in both eyes. No regrets and my sight is just fine. Just need glasses to read small/fine print.
    In my opinion a healthy dialogue with your eye doctor is paramount and educate yourself before you choose a proper lens for your eyes. Also, keep in mind that a relatively healthy eye is required for best results regardless of the lens you choose. Take care and good luck to everyone.

    I had mine done 2 weeks ago and I was totally out and didn't know what was going on until the nurse woke me up when it was done. Pretty painless! My right eye is about 75% healed up but it is still not as sharp, but the doctor say it might take 3-10 weeks before it heals fully. Next week, I am getting my left eye done so let's hope for the best and I'll be able to see well after both eyes are fixed! 🙏

    I had this surgery done a month and a half ago. If you are thinking about getting it done I would not hesitate for one second. No glasses!! I can read a book eight inches in front of my face with no glasses. I can watch tV and see at distance no problem. As far a distance I can't see how it could be any better? The tri focal lense is not supposed to be as good as the vivity lense when it comes to distance, but I can't see how it could be better. No pun intended.
    It is a little difficult to read in low light but not an issue. And if you're reading a book why read in low light? Light text on a dark screen like computer or phone or any electronic device does have a strange grey shadow behind it but nothing that is bothersome and I don't actually notice it much now.
    I have "haloing" at night with lights, ie traffic lights, brake lights, etc. But I don't find it to be a bother at all. Actually half the time I don't even notice it now and when I do notice it I think its kind of neat. The haloing changes with distance, lighting, and angle as well. Not an issue.
    As far as holding your eye open during the surgery, they placed this tape with a hole in the center over my eye pulling my cheek down and eyebrow up, not an issue.
    The surgery was $8500 CAD for both eyes and with the results I have so far I would have paid that for each eye! Not needing glasses anymore is absolutley priceless!!! Hated glasses with a passion!

      @@justinspirational Sorry I can't tell you the exact make of Trifocal. I enquired over the phone with the front desk after the fact but they didn't have that info on hand and I didn't enquire further.
      I don't notice the halos that often now. I think it's quite possible after a while our brains just filter out or adapt to changes in our surroundings? I rarely take notice of a halo now.
      Nothing is perfect. I feel I have perfect vision at all distances. I can read the fine print under the lable on a bottle of medicine eight inches in front of my face. I can read a book easily without glasses. You do need decent light when reading small print. It's obviously more diffucult in low light.
      They say that your long distance vision is not as good as with the bifocal lense but if there is a difference I can't notice it. When I look at longer distances and think about it I can't see how I would need better clarity.
      I look at images, readings and text size print on multiple monitors in varying light conditions at distances from three the six feet for long periods of time and sometimes I will have to lean in or out to see the writing clearly. They told mr about this before the operation and I didn't like the sound of it but my eyes have either gotten better ( not likley they are fixed power lenses) or I have addapted?
      The only thing I noticed after the operation that I didn't have before is dry eyes from time to time. About twice a week I will use hydrating drops. I also work twelve hour shifts and will in a dark room at night staring at multiple monitors. Dry eyes not a big issue.
      Hope that answers your questions? Eight months now since I had the surgery and no regrets. I stil stop from time to time and think how awesome it is. I HATED glasses with a passion!

    I'm scared. I had mine done 2 weeks ago because I got so annoyed at my reading glasses. I had awesome vision at distance like really great. I could discern individual bricks in a building 150 feet away, I just needed glasses for reading and phone. Currently I'm hating the result! I'm now nearsighted. I see blurry at all distances I can read between one and three feet and even there is not sharp. Lights and night time driving is horrendous. Every light is a static fireworks. Dozens of extra lights around every light source. I can't imagine my brain learning to make a better picture because it is just too much and in my face. If I'm driving I can't ignore the lights. They're right in the middle (headlights left) of my field of view and I have to not drive into them! Nobody can tell me if it will improve. It has a bit but not much. It's got a long way to go before it would be considered a good result. I'm scared it won't. Positive stories are mostly "great vision the next day. 20/20 and hardly any glare". I'm not finding any that weren't great from the start but got better after a number of weeks. If you have great vision, just need reading glasses, don't do this. If you have bad vision, I could see this being an improvement, but if you don't, don't fuck with it! I'm so scared.

      Mine was not perfect either. I heard all the same stories of amazing results But mine wasn’t quick at all. It’s took time but over time it did get better. I don’t notice the glare when I’m driving now .. still a bit of glare on phone and TV though but you get used to it.

    I am generally pleased , there are drawbacks. Close to is great but after 2 feet , the sort of distance that you look at stuff on shelves its fuzzy again and contrast in bright sunlight can be difficult, say a bird flapping up in a bright is stuttering. And hills against the sky have a shadow. However the ability to work close up and to have binned the glasses make up for it.

However, I told them beforehand and asked about it, I'm slightly autistic, one of the specifics of that is that the normal filters that run in usual people's brains keeping the unimportant stuff out of the processing centers don't work as well or at all in an autistic brain. All impressions get in. So maybe that's a thing with me that my brain doesn't filter as well. They said they didn't know if that was a factor.

      I will add that I drive with a set of -1 glasses, for nearsighted. Without, I see three sets of numbers on a speed sign. With it I only see one. So I think the lenses don't focus right. I told them this and they say one in a hundred has this residual deviation. Apparently I have about a -0.5 deviation which is enough to go slightly hazy in that eye. The other is -0,25 which is too small to fix.

So I need glasses for everything now, and for me even the older "tri-focals" sound better than EDOF(they sound like "meh" across the range)...Jeez, even at this stage a monofocal lense would be better as I'd not need bi-focal/varifocal glasses!!!

No glasses for any distance (reading/driving). Your opthalmologist can tell you what lens options will work best for your eyes (ask him/her about EDOF lenses). My doctor added a small amount of blended vision (he called it mini mono vision) so each eye has a different focus distance. Your brain magically blends both together. If you are on medicare they only pay for monofocal lenses. If you go with monofocal lenses you will have to decide if you want to wear glasses for close up or distance.

    Best practice would be to wait until the first eye is fully healed which takes 5-6 weeks. At that point get an eye test to determine how the eye and lens interacted, knowing that should let your surgeon refine the lens calculations for the second eye to ensure the best vision possible.

    Hi Steve,
    If you were offered your old eyes back would you take them?
    Was it worth the pain?
    And please continue to make videos on your journey.
    I'm planning on going Beauty in Prague too.
    Would you say yes it's awesome or would you say no don't do it.
    I value your opinion 😊

      That’s a great question.. it’s hard to say.. I wouldn’t say it’s awesome and there are certainly downsides but I would still do it again to not have to wear glasses.. maybe if I could wear contacts I may not have done it in hindsight

      Thank you for your reply Steve.
      I can't wear contacts either.
      Your reply has inspired me to get mine done.
      The fact you'd do it again makes me realise just how much I hate wearing glasses.
      I can't wait to buy some off the shelf RayBans
      Keep making the update videos you have no idea how much they are helping lots of people 😊

      I'm 6 months post op and 2 weeks ago I got Vitreous Detachment and struggling with quite a lot of floaters.
      I'm going back to Prague in 4 weeks time to see if there's anything that they can do for me.

    Just had a test today and my question is as I am now 70 do you think it is worth having done as it costs £7.5k or is the cost too prohibitive relating to the benefit
    Incidentally I did have laser eye surgery 18 years ago and it was well worth it and I really appreciated the quality of life it gave unfortunately it has not lasted and I would love to be free from wearing glasses .

    Considering doing this surgery so as not to wear glasses for reading phone close, computer at mid distance, and tv at long distance/ infinity.. what specific lenses did you have put in as there are various types..trifocal are supposed to cover all distances.. some may produce halos around lights at night etc.. how is your vision today? Do you have perfect clarity at all distances or is it not optimally clear at certain distances? Was the procedure painful or scary when they were cutting out and removing your actual eyes' lenses? Appreciate your feedback as I've been considering for a few years but want to get it done now so long as my chances of it being successful and safe are high.. thank you

    In other words, multifocal lens' suck. Get a monofocal or a minimal extended focus lens and avoid the downfalls.

    • @RoyBluemel-js8li
      @RoyBluemel-js8li 2 месяца назад

      Premium Multifocal lenses like Lenstec Clearview 3 are proven and have been approved here in the USA in 2022. There is a newer lens available in Europe from J &J called Puresee. Both of these lenses do NOT have the concentric ring design of previous mulifocal like the Panoptix lenses and both offer good vision at all distances and significantly less halo at night. Do your homework first before having surgery.

    I had super sight surgery two weeks ago, at the age of 43. I am concerned about the glare around screens. If anything, I feel like my sight was better, in this respect, to begin with. I find it difficult to focus on fine details but I can still read everything. What I would like to know is how long did this take to improve for you and by what percentage would you say that it improved?

    • @MindsetSkillsetCoaching
      @MindsetSkillsetCoaching  5 месяцев назад +1

      I don’t think the glare gets better you just notice it less. For example it’s better to watch a projector image than full OLED

    im 39. Had 2 sets of LASIK. Now i need glasses all the time as residual prescription coming through. they say im too young for lens replacement, i need to wait till im 45+. the problem is my astigmatism - working in front of a computer all day i get really bad "ghosting' of text on backlit screen like you say. I wonder IF i were to get lens replacemnet the halo/ghosting on screens would be even worse

    After my eye replacement (and after your experiences they seem vERy VERY similar, they call it Len's replacement) which in actual fact a lens scrape, then they try to SCRAPE anything within your eye, which is why it's called a "replacement", does it hurt NO, until they're telling you to keep BOTH eyes open, would I do it in my opposite EYE, 100% yes, it was unfamiliar at the start, 1 eye could see far, the other close up, by close I mean 6-8ft, 1 eye is in focus, the other is not, I got used to it, but that's my perspective...

    Interesting video.
    I was advised by the surgeon to do lens replacement surgery.
    My question is: when time passes by, the lens remains the same while the eye "degeneration" due to ageing will continue.
    In this regard: will this be the reason that you might need to wear glasses not far from the surgery even if you had an excellent outcome?
    Any useful advice would be highly appreciated.
    Ps:also a useful option if there is one, to lens replacement pls let me know.
    I'm quite nervous about making the proper decision.
