    I don't get why almost every one of these videos seems to give short shrift to EODF lenses. The newer technologies have a greatly reduced the chances for halos, etc and they are quite capable of giving you functional near vision. I just had two implanted and I can't read my smart phone and Kindle from 12 inches without readers something which would've been impossible before. When I do use readers, I've gone from 1.75 or 2.0 to 1.25.. Nice thing is that there was no adaptation required at all. They just worked.

Now, this year it happened again i think last March, and never happened again until now, should i visit another ophthalmologist?

      I had left eye done 11/22 and right one 1/23. My daily migraines were unbearable and I was given so many different combinations of contact lenses. My distance vision is good and I can see my surroundings without glasses, but I am very off balance. I bump into objects and have bruises/cuts/bumps on a regular basis. When I'm seated, everything looks normal, but as soon as I walk, I have a see sickness feeling and am very unsteady and unbalanced. Before the surgery my eyes were balanced and I had no problems moving around. The colors are brighter now, but I still need to wear contacts and reading glasses and regret to have agreed to this surgery

Right eye vision is almost useless at this point with high astigmatism . Now with cataracts having IOL. Advised to have monofocal toric placed in right eye week after next and an LAL+ in the left two weeks later. Have you experienced such a lens combination and is there a reasonable expectation of outcome? I have had CXL done in both eyes.

    Dr. Tran Thank you for taking the time to respond to my concerns. Just one more question, if you clear the capsule with the Yag Laser, if there are any more issues, can a new lens be put in to correct??? or would LASIK be an option. My glare is really bad at night and the slight double vision on massive road signs is worrisome as I could see those clearly before. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    • @DrJeffreyTran
      @DrJeffreyTran หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can get an IOL exchange after a YAG procedure. It's something that only some surgeons offer. I would avoid LASIK if possible after cataract surgery as this can add additional glare.

My astigmatism on left eye is 1.54D @105. So, it’s going to be monofocal toric IOL, I believe. I have intermediate AMD. I plan to do the surgery during summer. Thank you!

    I wish I had seen your video prior to my cataract surgery. Your video is very informative, thanks so much! I had surgery on my left eye three months ago, unfortunately, I am having major eye issues. I had the Johnson and Johnson Comfort lens with distance and intermediate vision. Prior to surgery, I hardly ever used my glasses for reading or distance. Now I can not read my phone, laptop and have issues with blurring, double vision and halos. Extreme dry eye and the constant feeling that there is something in my eye. I am using drops at least 20 times per day and they really don't make a difference. I have been told that I have PCO but fear having this done as I have had a lot of laser to spot weld my small retina tears and twelve years ago had Lasik. They are blaming all my issues on having had the Lasik, I find that hard to believe as I hardly ever had my glasses on in the last 12 years. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

    • @DrJeffreyTran
      @DrJeffreyTran หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is a complex case and without examining your eyes, I cannot say without uncertainty. Also, since this is a social media platform - please note this is not medical advice. I will speak vaguely about cataracts, lasik and posterior capsular opacification as a whole. LASIK makes cataract surgery more complicated because it does cause dry eyes and it affects our calculations. Also, I find patients tend to have more glare and dysphotopsias in general. After cataract surgery, regardless of lasik or not, you can get a posterior capsular opacification.

    • @DrJeffreyTran

      A PCO is a common issue after cataract surgery. This can be easily corrected with a YAG laser. Take a look at my other video. In general, a PCO is something I’m not to worried about as an eye surgeon and readily address in my clinic. It seems like I would work on dry eyes first and also addressing the PCO. Of course, always seek a second or even third opinion

    The one thing that you did not discuss was drop less cataract surgery. I had the drop less eye surguery and it was amazing. I know that not everyone is a candidate for this method but maybe explaining the risks vs benefit of drop less cataract surgery. Also since I did not have astigmatism but had extreme far sighted I choose the traditional IOL over the multifocal lens. The primary reason was I did not mind having to wear eyeglasses and I do drive at night so for me this was a roaring success. I went from +6.00 in the right eye and +6.25 in the left eye and of course being 66 years old the reading part was +3.00. Now my vision test was 20/20 in the right eye at distance and 20/25 in the left eye at distance and so no correction in the right eye and a +0.25on the left eye and a +2.25 for the bifocal

      Update:: White dot is not even visible anymore. I had to use hand soap. No antibiotics. I'm poor. Barely any contact lense solution left. I am PERFEFTLY WELL and so GRATEFUL. Never buying that brand again. Never. I'm wondering if I really need to go to the doctor. I have a very, tiny cornea ulcer. (Slept in a new brand of contacts that I was trying out). I had symptoms (red eye, discomfort, watery, sensitivity, etc.). I washed my eye with soap throughout the day. The next day, no symptoms at all. It got better within 2 days. Currently , I still have the tiny white dot, but it is NOT worse. I feel perfect but monitoring the tiny white dot. I don't have the ability to go to a doctor until next week. Just wondering if I really need to? (I will never sleep in my contacts again, not buy Ever Clear Contact brand. It's just not for me. I could tell the moment I tried them out, but wanted to give them time and slept in them on mistake.) Just sharing my experience , in case someone else goes through this. Curious if I will be OK until I can get to a doctor. (American currently overseas with no insurance, in a remote area)

    Dear sir, if posterior polar cataract surgery is done using FLACS, what are the chances of nucleus drop and vitreous prolapse during cataract surgery ?

    • @DrJeffreyTran
      @DrJeffreyTran 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Posterior polar cataracts are definitely at a high risk of complication. The fact you used the phrase vitreous prolapse tells Me that you have a good surgeon who reviewed the risk and benefits. I recommend talking to your surgeon about your higher risk case. I think FLACS would create a round opening into the lens. This would provide an essential location for a 3 piece IOL with reverse optic capture if your surgeon is able to do so. I’m sorry I can’t provide any more without examining your eyes, but again - this is TH-cam and I can only reflect upon my patient and assume that you are facing something similar.

    Zones. Graphics said Distance is 10+ feet, Intermediate is 2 to 4 feet, and Near is <2 feet. So, this seems to leave an unnamed zone between 4 and 10 feet.??? Question: If a person in their 60's, with cataracts, gets single vision toric distance lenses, with laser surgery, will they need bifocal glasses to cover the Near and Intermediate zones? Thx

      Typically, in between 4-10 feet range, you are kind of in your "almost" distance range. Our lenses are measured in units called diopters. A diopter is calculated as 1/meters. To oversimplify, once you are beyond that 5-6 foot range the difference between standing 6 feet away vs 7 feet away is minor. In contrast, the difference between standing 1 foot away versus 2 feet away is astronomical in optics.

    Last week some bacteria was introduced into the middle of my eyeball during retina surgery, when they added the gas. It filled with pus and blew out the front of the eye, ruining the entire cornea from the inside out. I have zero light entering the eye now, they cant see inside anymore though they do have the infection under control. Im curious why the cornea doctor added insulin drops to my med routine the other day, i haven't had a chance to speak to him directly yet and im not diabetic or anything.
