I had my first ever comprehensive eye exam ever about 2 weeks ago. No cataracts, but apparently I had some dysfunction, possible clogging of my Meibomian glands. I was prescribed Lotemax to use for about 6 weeks total and was also told to use an eye compress and otc eye drops for the dryness.
Thanks for sharing...I am 78 yrs old and just had cataract surgery on my right eye...left eye being done in 3 weeks....I have always followed a healthy diet ..lots of greens & fruit every day ....don't smoke or drink alcohol & yet my cataracts became worse in PST two years....do far surgery was successful & I cannot believe the difference already... cheers from Australia 😀
Had my exam 2 days ago and the doctor said cataract surgery might be in my future. Not needed yet but keep getting my exams. I'm 75. Thanks for all the tips. My diet during covid hasn't been great but I'm good on everything else.
I'm 79; my last full eye exam was done by an Optometrist on June 16th, 2022. I have an exam every 6 months. I have glaucoma (pressures are good) and I have borderline type 2 diabetes (A1C remains stable at 5.7/5.8). Thank you for the great tips!!
For what it's worth, go pure Carnivore diet. If interested there are numerous Drs. on TH-cam recommending it such as Dr. Ken Berry. Does away with a whole list of problems.
Thank you for your video. I’m 77 with T2 diabetes but it’s considered “well managed”. I quit smoking 26 years ago. I also have high blood pressure but have have been somewhat successful in getting it down to a reasonable if not ideal level. My ophthalmologist says I don’t need cataract surgery at this time. I enjoyed your presentation of the information as you don’t rush through it. You have a calming demeanor and I wish you could do the surgery if and when it becomes necessary! I subscribed and look forward to seeing more.

I had cataract surgery just before I turned 60. I always,wore sunshades as my eyes were sensitive to the sun. I have none of the problems you,spoke so and my parents didn’t have cataracts. The Dr who did my surgery put a lens in that if I don’t have my contacts in I can read without reading glasses. No one asked me any questions concerning this but I am so glad it was done this way. Thanks
This information should be stressed more on routine visits. I would hsve liked to have heard this information years ago. I wish my md gave me a card with every eye exam with these tips.
Very thorough video. I just ate a bowl of arugala. My neighbor used to be a lady doing a fellowship at the Wills Eye Center in Phili and she was always giving me tips how to protect my eyes. Thank you.
Keep doing everything I can with the advice I get and I only have a small one that grows so slowly can hardly notice I got one. Hopefully will stay that way until I die. I am now 76
Very informative video. I had my exam yesterday and was told that I have developed 15 percent cataract. I was adviced of to have regular eye exams and use sunglasses.
Thank you for this information, it helps. I saw my Opthalmologist yesterday, she told me I'm starting to get cataract but 5 or 6 months ago she told me everything was fine, no cataract, no glaucoma. Now all of a sudden I have a little tiny cataract, I've been taking Preservation Ared vitamins, fish oil, Centrum multivitamins (not everyday only if can remember to take them. I started to eat broccoli again, spinach, sometimes avocado. I will follow your advice. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm now 72. Last time I watch your video, you said Systane Ultra eye drops is good for dry eyes, so I went and bought it. Now that my eye doc said I have a little cataract, what eyedrops is good that will slow it down or reverse it. Thanks.
My doctor from the Philippines told me I have cataract when I went to her clinic for my allergy check up. I didn’t mind because I felt ok. I got vision examination when I applied for Driver’s license that made me disqualified not to have DL because I did not pass my vision test. I went to the optometrist, he told me I have cataract both eyes. Due to this problem my husband told me to accompany me to go to optalmologist for check up. Thank you for sharing those things that are good for the eyes to prevent cataract.
Sunglasses... get the polarized type too along w UV protection. polarized are better imo help block more harmful rays .. soothing feel lots better. Can not hurt having polarized sunglasses too. very effective surprised DrT u not mention. Do u think the polarized type help too ?
I'm now your new subscriber. Been diagnosed with 60% cataract just this day and was recommended for a surgery. But don't know yet what i should do. I'm thinking over the possible side-effects of a cataract surgery. I'm 63 yrs.old and living in germany. I have learned some tips from you about cataract __prevention or its slow progression, just in this video. Thanks doc.
Thanks Doctor for sharing valued info on Cataract.. I am 64 yrs old, and will follow your recommendation on diet control... as recently I am facing vision issues while driving at night. Thanks again...
I made appointments for all four of my kids and my husband regularly but I’ve never been or made an appointment for myself I am 64 years old and I still haven’t gone to an eye doctor but I do have a healthy diet of vegetables mainly leafy greens and broccoli like you were saying and all the other tips you had except for sunglasses I do follow so I think I’ll get some sunglasses and make an appointment for myself they do tell my husband he has the starting signs of cataracts he has diabetes too so we are watching that closely. Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
I have dry eye, and after my cataract op that eye got so much worse, in spite of using drops for years. I have since heard you need to get your eyes at optimum health before cataract op.
I had cataracts surgery at age 60, unfortunately the surgeon fitted reading lens only instead of reading and long distance, I also have hypertension under control by medication.I have never smoked or drank alcohol. However, approximately 8 months after my operation my vision went from clear to having a double shadow over everything I looked at. I hesitate to have another double operation. Thank you for a great video.
@Run Everyday good Evening from Western Australia's Southwest. My surgery for cataracts was performed in hospital as "same day surgery" outpatient, one eye at a time and 4 weeks apart. On both surgeries, there were 35 - 40 people having the same procedure. I am not sure what the RX readings were.. However, several weeks after surgery I visited the surgeon's practice for eye tests and was giving paperwork stating what my eyesight was as follows:- Intraocular lens used: Monofocal-RE, Toric Monofocal-LE. Unaided vision RE =6/6-2, LE =6/7.5-1. IOP: RE = 16, LE = 18. REFRACTION: RE =, -0.25/-0.50×165 LE=, -0.25/-0.50×150. When I wear glasses to read paper I need to adjust distance to get clear vision and upon taking off glasses, everything is blurry for 5 to 10 minutes. Driving is proving a challenge especially at night, glare is an issue. I really wanted lens implants for reading and long distance but surgeon placed the above single lens. Not sure if I need further surgery or new glasses, looking at computer screen I need to be a certain distance from screen to see clearly. The issue I have is that I live in a rural area and need to travel appropriately one hour each way to see eye surgeon. What would be your expert recommendation as to procede fro here. Thank you kindly in advance for your assistance. Make your day a great one.
Hi Doc , I got cataracts in a short space of time in both my eyes , from Avamys nasal spray that I use for my allergy . Thank you sooo much for this video 🙏🏾
Thank you for this clear-cut presentation. So, in theory, if you are a healthy person, then you are a healthy person. Same goes if you are an unhealthy person. The bottom line is try to live a healthy lifestyle.
I think those who have serious eye problems.they should be make friendship for each other... those who have normal eye they don't understand our situation
thanks, i've been diagnosed of astigmatic eyes. my dr. gave me an eyeglass for astigmatism, 1.5 grade of eyeglass. until now , i'm using the same grade of .eyeglass. and i can see feel better. i visit my dr. once a year for check up .
I had cataract surgery in my 40's. One eye was seeing 3 of everything so I had no choice. Set up as monovision. No glasses and my vision has actually improved. I'm now 64 with a young person's vision. Colors are brighter. Whites are whiter. The procedure was a breeze. Don't be afraid t do it.
Paul Diamond 0 seconds ago I was scheduled for surgery to replace the cataract damaged lenses in both eyes. With my wife, I changed to eating a plant based diet, recommended by my DO. After a month, the osteo arthritis pain I suffered in my toes, plantar, heels, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers (each confirmed by xray images) disappeared. Almost a year after going plant based diet, my cataracts cleared in both eyes. I phoned the optometrist and requested a new vision test before my scheduled cataract surgery. She agreed. After the new exam, she cancelled the cataract surgery for my eyes! - It was a big step to give up all meat, dairy, processed foods, oils, etc. But, the rewards to me far exceed the compromises. (Age 74!)
Thank you very much Ma'm for this useful information on cataract. I am 73 and recently detected early cataract in both of my eyes. Both of my parents have had suffered cataract. I am hypertensive and taking medicines regularly. I have no diabetes. I am greatly motivated by the 5 tips you have mentioned in this video. Ma'm how much I am likely to postpone cataract formation. Kindly help 🙏🙏🙏
68 years old, and dunno if I have ever had a full eye exam. Last time I went to a doctor was to get a medical certificate to renew my driving licence, over two years ago. Have seldom been to a doctor other than to get a medical certificate for some reason or another. Have worn eyeglasses with photochromic lenses to correct short sight since I was young. My mother had cataracts removed when she was in her mid 80s.
Dr. Audrey Tai, I was diagnosed with cataract in 2014 and gluacoma in 2020 and aavised for surgery to remove the cataract but I declined as I am 86 years old. Dr. Tai how long does it takes for a patient to go blind? Does it depends on the pressure level of a cataract eye or gluacoma eye? Meanwhile I exercise daily, eat eye foods and eye supplement. I am not a diabetic or suffering high blood pressure, nor any other underlying medical conditions.
Cataracts and glaucoma can progress at different paces for different people, so it’s hard to predict without an examination. Regular eye exams are needed to monitor an individual’s disease progress. I hope this helps.
Thanks Dr. Tai! Ive been taking prednisolone acetate suspension eye drops for my eyes. It certainly did help when I took these eyedrops, but after two-three weeks, I think I'll cut them out temporarily or for long term, depending on when my eye pain comes back. Dr. Ming Wang did warn me about this specific med, not to take too long, or else it might cause ill effect to my right eye (increased eyeball pressure). Great to have two opinions about the same med.
Thank you Dr. Tai. This is This is a very good video with helpful information! I've watched a few different videos from other eye doctors, and a lot of the information about cataracts is very consistent. I'm 61 and am planning to have cataract surgery next month. I'm not sure why this problem happened now. I'm in good health, a non smoker and never had any trauma to my eyes or head. Must be age I guess, but I wasn't expecting cataracts for at least another 10 or 15 years! 😳🙂
Thank you very much for your important and very clear information - I am 77 and my eyes are checked a year ago - I M not on any kind of medicine ( y’et) and I do my best to eat as healthy as possible (your tip nr 3) 🎶🍀🎵💚
Great video. I would like this ophthalmologist treat my cataract. I do not know where she practices. It is difficult to find a ophthalmologist who is genuinely interested in her patients
Thank you doctor. I hope someday that my country will have skilled medical doctors. Here in Laos, we are very poor and less fortunate than other countries. We don't even have obstetricians. That's why maternal death rate is so high here in Laos.
Thanks so much ❤️please let me know what can I do if i have so Mainly floaters in my eyes after cataract surgery please there is anything we can do ???
Castor oil as a lubricant we have found can also dissolve cataracts as a friend of mine testified. I have also used it and my vision became very clear. We do a drop at night every so often to prevent cataracts and dry eyes. Has anyone else tried this?
Potential Hazards of Castor Oilcontact solution Check with your medical professional before using castor oil for your eyes, as it can have some risks and side effects. It is not ideal for everyone. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends talking to your ophthalmologist about what to use for your specific condition, as there is often a better option than castor oil. Do not use castor oil if you: Are wearing or putting in contacts soon. Have recently had a surgical procedure. Are allergic to it. Have a serious eye condition. Use other eye drops or ointments. The most common side effects of using castor oil eye drops are blurry vision, itching, and swelling. Blurry vision often clears up after a little bit of time as the castor oil dissipates. If you experience irritation or further issues like dizziness, nausea, or trouble breathing, you should stop using castor oil immediately. Using Castor Oil Safely on Your Eyes If you use castor oil for eyes, be sure to choose artificial tear or eye drop products made for eyes that contain castor oil and not non-sterile castor oil by itself. If applying castor oil topically, be sure to wash your hands before application and gently massage the oil around your eyes. Remember to talk to your eyecare provider before using castor oil to make sure it is the best option for your eye health.
Interesting video, thanks. I have a big cataract in my left eye. I have been using drops (N Acetyl Carnosine) on it for over two years and I think it is getting smaller and more transparent. My optician says this cannot be because the drops cannot reach the cataract. What do you think of these drops? Am I imagining the improvement?
I am 63 years old have cataracts diagnosed 2 years ago. I have worn glasses since 4 years old. I had cross eyes and 2 years of eyes therapy for 2 to years from 5 to 7 contented, diagnosis with stigmatism, my father 90 worn classes and he had cataracts surgery 2 years and he diabetes 2 since 65. I smoke a pack of cigarettes and day i had 1 year
Let me know in the comments below👇, when the last time you had a full eye exam was, and if you or someone you know is diagnosed with cataracts.
I had my first ever comprehensive eye exam ever about 2 weeks ago. No cataracts, but apparently I had some dysfunction, possible clogging of my Meibomian glands. I was prescribed Lotemax to use for about 6 weeks total and was also told to use an eye compress and otc eye drops for the dryness.

Thank you doctor. I hope someday that my country will have skilled medical doctors. Here in Laos, we are very poor and less fortunate than other countries. We don't even have obstetricians. That's why maternal death rate is so high here in Laos.

Thanks so much ❤️please let me know what can I do if i have so Mainly floaters in my eyes after cataract surgery please there is anything we can do ???
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate you.
Castor oil as a lubricant we have found can also dissolve cataracts as a friend of mine testified. I have also used it and my vision became very clear. We do a drop at night every so often to prevent cataracts and dry eyes. Has anyone else tried this?
Can you explain a little further. Castor Oil drop directly in the eye?
@@chanson3016 yes we use 1-2 drops in the eye at night before bed…usually one eye per night and we do this every couple of weeks.
How do you use oil?
Can you tell me if it is the regular castor oil ? Or if there are castor oil drops.
Potential Hazards of Castor Oilcontact solution
Check with your medical professional before using castor oil for your eyes, as it can have some risks and side effects. It is not ideal for everyone.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends talking to your ophthalmologist about what to use for your specific condition, as there is often a better option than castor oil.
Do not use castor oil if you:
Are wearing or putting in contacts soon.
Have recently had a surgical procedure.
Are allergic to it.
Have a serious eye condition.
Use other eye drops or ointments.
The most common side effects of using castor oil eye drops are blurry vision, itching, and swelling. Blurry vision often clears up after a little bit of time as the castor oil dissipates. If you experience irritation or further issues like dizziness, nausea, or trouble breathing, you should stop using castor oil immediately.
Using Castor Oil Safely on Your Eyes
If you use castor oil for eyes, be sure to choose artificial tear or eye drop products made for eyes that contain castor oil and not non-sterile castor oil by itself.
If applying castor oil topically, be sure to wash your hands before application and gently massage the oil around your eyes.
Remember to talk to your eyecare provider before using castor oil to make sure it is the best option for your eye health.
Excellent thanks 😊 👍 🙏
Thanks for eye care advice .
I’ve been diagnosed with cataracts. I’m 67. Awaiting surgery.
Today wad my eye examination at the eye clinic opthalmology Dept.
Interesting video, thanks. I have a big cataract in my left eye. I have been using drops (N Acetyl Carnosine) on it for over two years and I think it is getting smaller and more transparent. My optician says this cannot be because the drops cannot reach the cataract. What do you think of these drops? Am I imagining the improvement?
I m not her but I believe in these drops. Also try Lanomax. Pass both with 2 hours of difference, they are different substances.
Did your doctor notice that the cataract is getting smaller? Then the eye drop worked???
Thanks a lot
Excellent, especially the anatomy and
Causes. Thank-You.
I wish I lived in California and you were my doctor.
