I’m a multi focal lens wearer and I must say I’m so very happy! Best decision I’ve made.. brilliant vision ultra HD, contrast stunning!.. please don’t live with bad vision live your life to the best!!
@@snehalpatel7025 Hi, I had my surgery 5th dec 23… I could see a ring around street lights, headlights etc but it isn’t as noticeable now 3 months in. The great vision far outweighs a slight ring at nighttime. It isn’t dangerous to drive at night, all i can say is buy some yellow tinted glasses for night driving as these do decrease the rings.. I haven’t noticed any glare. Go for it!
I am left with Dysphotopsia post lens replacement. This procedure should really on be propose to people with cataract. The risk are massively under played
YEP- mine was 4 years old and turned gray/black and actually looked like a ROCK-- took a much bigger cut to make room to get it out as it would NOT break up... Doc said on scale of 1-10 mine was at LEAST a 15! I had mine done 3 weeks ago- and it's JUST NOW starting to clear up. I have a panoptix in my "good" eye.. and it's getting clearer and sharper every day.. can't wait til it's totally healed!! I don't wear glasses NOW-- and most likely won't. My LEFT eye, however is still being worked on. After the cataract "rock" was removed and a special lens implanted that is a bit different (doc never told me HOW it's different). they could finally see through it to check the RETINAL DETACHMENT and TEAR!!! I've also had a laser iridotomy to make a HOLE in my iris so the fluids will exchange properly and I don't get glaucoma. THE reattachment/repair surgery is on DEC 7th.. don't know how that's going to turn out-- BUT- I'll be getting silicon OIL in my eye instead of gas bubble due to the severity of it- and the fact I can NOT hold a steady position for any extended period of time without EXTREME pain due to arthritis and more. Should be INTERESTING..
I don’t know why RUclips won’t let me respond directly to your question, but yes, I had my surgery done and it was a huge success. No side effects, you do you want to rest your eyes at least 48 hours postop. And if you develop a little film over your eye, they can easily remove that with laser. Other than that, I highly recommend.
If you are considering lens replacement, you should understand the consequences of dysphotopsia before going ahead. The surgery is both invasive and non reverseable. the impact of dysphotopsia is devastating to the quality of life and there are no clear treatment for neither positive or negative disphotopsia. The statistics reported are inconsistent across multiple source. Take care of your eyes.
If it is only a 10 to 15 minute procedure why is it so expensive? NHS say the surgery cost £750 to £1000 per eye and yet private companies charge a minimum of £2000 per eye for the basic single-vision lens fitment. Why is there such a huge difference?
OH- with my new panoptix lens- I DO notice a little halo effect-- and I think it's actually pretty!!! it doesn't bother me at all.. I can see stars now without glasses.. even spotted two that were NOT stars-- not satellites or aircraft either-- as verified by NASA, SPACE-X, and USAF... so have no idea what they were-- did furnish pic to them.. who knows..
I had multifocal lenses put in 8 days ago. The glare during the day and night is so bad and it’s not getting better. I was never told it would be this bad. I wish I could go back.
@@telstar4772 no, both lenses have moved off axis. The right 8 degrees and the left 34 degrees. I had to have another operation on the left eye as it was so far out. But with the right they have said the risks outweigh the benefits so they will try to correct it with laser eye surgery later on. The left lens has also since moved again so will also need further treatment again. My vision is still worse than before and because the lenses are off axis the side-effects like halos and starburst/glare are to the extreme. I’m told there’s nothing they can do now for another three months whilst the eyes recover from surgery. I’m going back in 10 days to have a check up and talk about the next stages and what they can do. But in the meantime I am going to have ware glasses again! I also still can’t drive to work for 2 months now as day light hours here are so short at the moment and side-effects are obviously worse in the dark with the lights. I am told what has happened is rare. I have been regretting it ever since.
@@rupaloop671 I`m so sorry to hear that, it sounds like a living hell. Do they think its down to the Surgeon who carried out the operation or defective lens`s used ?
@@telstar4772 they are not giving away my information. I personally think it could be the surgeon that put them placed them incorrectly. I’m in the process of a complaint procedure, and I requested my medical file. I’ll keep you post but might be a while
Excellent dentist , they are the best. they are very caring and sensitive to their clients concerns and work with you to ensure you are comfortable and feel little discomfort.
I have a question, I went for an eye assessment last year with a view to having multi focal lens. It didn`t go as i hoped as I have a slight squint in one of my eyes from a childhood accident and was told I wouldn't be suitable for multi lens only single. They didn`t explain why and is there anything in the pipeline that would allow me to have this in the future?. Thanking you in anticipation.
My mother will have surgery tomorrow. it is a laser surgery glaucoma. they will put a lenses on her right eye. what do you think is the best lenses will be use to my mother? she is 54 years old
I had a corneal transplant 9 years ago.a year later I got an accident and it got damaged. I went to be fixed but the eye doesn't see anything. It's just blue in colour. That was on my left eye..now my right eye's keratoconus is so advanced and am jst so scared ..can I knew a doctor or hospital who can help me..am in kenya
why isn't multifocal refractive lens exchange surgery done regularly for people with presbyopia, instead of Lasik which can only give a 'mono' or 'blended vision' correction?

Can myopia be cured with this? I'm thinking about getting ICLs (Implantable contact lenses). Myopia is at -8. I'm in my 30s but wondering when I get older whether I may need lens replacement for cataract. As I'm on a medicine called quetiapine which can increase risk of cataract.
Good evening Dr am happy to hear from you explaining about replacing eye lence my husband went through cataract surgery on the 3 of this may but his eyes are not clear as of now what is your advice pls thank
Iambettinglens replacement surgery and I am extremely claustrophobic and the only thing I am worried about is do they cover the other eye when they are doing surgery. I never discussed this with the Doctor and I have surgery on Monday and an feel a panic attack just thinking about it.
Vikash Jaiswar the cost is never being able to see without debilitating visual disturbances ever again. Please do not get this procedure. The truth is hidden. Suicide and depression are a common result!!!!
I've been operated for cataract in both eyes. Bifocal IOLs have been implanted in both, making it impossible for me to see without specs. Is there any remedy/surgery for getting rid of specs/ having zero power again? Thanks in advance!
Got the same. They said lasik is only recommended for -2 to -7. More than that, RLE is better since the chances if you getting a cataract is high so to avoid it, give yourself a headstart and not wait for the cataract to develop
Hello, I was -13 right eye, -14 left eye and at the time, 14 years ago, measurements showed that my eyes did not have enough space needed for lens implants. I got lasix, with some regression, which stabilized at -5 which took a few years. I did buy glasses to compensate. I could not be happier! It is truly a miracle. I am no longer tired by just trying with large prescription glasses to focus, colours and depth perception are much better. Now, at -5, I do have the option of lens implants. No rush though - as I can read without my nose in the way (!), manage at home, and with conversation distance - a wee bit fuzzy - but more than good enough. I like that if I am dealing with frowny faces, I can take off the glasses and not pick up so much on negative vibes. I don’t mind wearing glasses for driving, concerts, or watching tv. All the best with your next step. Oh - and the glare and halos people mention did not hit my radar. With high prescriptions, it is the baseline, normal. I like the colourful red and green snowflakes at traffic lights - and that was, is, my normal. With excellent depth perception, I am comfortable driving at night. Truly a gift that we have these wonderful options. All the best for your next steps!
To add - it may be worthwhile to mention that there is some adjustment post surgery - as the brain adapts to all the new focused information coming in! 20/20 is normal for a while post surgery, then there is regression.

Why doesn't Bill Gates, Tim Cook or Warren Buffet have this eye surgery?
It's not as if they can't afford it.
Why am I recommended this treatment when I don’t have cataracts. I’m 56. I’m minus 4 since childhood.
If I’ve done the the laser eye surgery 10 years ago can I do another operation if I want to replace the natural lenses?
Yes because laser eye and ICL surgery are not the same
