- Over the past 3 months, what have our first 100 patients experienced with the clearview 3 lens?
1 They see far/mid and near very well without glasses period.
a. Most patients are able to see 20/20 far and 20/20 (J1+) near without glasses.
b. What that means is that they can read their phone with normal font size, their computer and see to drive easily without glasses
c. Nighttime vision is without halos. Patients may see some glare and nighttime artifacts but they are not as bothersome as the nighttime artifacts seen with diffractive multifocal lens implants
Overall performance of the Clearview 3 lens has outperformed the vision quality with the Panoptix lens that we have had great success with over the past 4-5 years.
I'm a 65 yo male patient of Dr Wong. He implanted the Clearview 3 in both my eyes 2-3 weeks ago. Dr Wong is GREAT! My vision was 20/150 and moderate cataracts. 3 mm pupil, low astigmatism. I was using 3.75 diopter readers all the time, everywhere I went. I could not believe the difference afterward. 20/20 near/far/intermediate vision. Night vision excellent and bright with only a little bright-light flaring ("angel wings"), no halos. Looking at stars and the Moon is awesome as well as I love Astronomy! The two issues I have now are (as stated in the video) I have a secondary "ghost" image on text especially with white text on black, which can make it a little distracting when reading; and I have many dark and translucent floaters which do get in the way of reading also. I am hoping to see Dr Wong's office or the Floater Doctor in Dallas/Ft Worth area about YAG laser treatment (Vitriolysis) for this issue.
thanks for sharing. i'm seriously considering this lens, but how "bad" are the "angel wings"? i mean, are they close around the light source, or do they extend across half your field of vision, or they block out other object at night, etc? this is my biggest concern, as I have terrible glare and halos around lights (day or night, but nighttime driving is really awful) with some relatively advanced cataracts. thanks again for sharing!
@@johndoe-ep7qk They aren't bad. Just a little flare on each side kinda like a faint pair of wings. It doesn't obstruct anything and not distracting. And it's only on really bright points of light. And not everyone complains of them, like the Dr said. Not everyone notices the ghosting around text like I do either. Still WAAAAY better than the alternative, let me tell you.
I love seeing like I did when I was in my 30's!!! Wooohoo!
one of the best explanation of IOL options on TH-cam......Thank you !!!
Shannon Wong is simply the best eye doctor in US. I flew all way from Thailand to be his patient. Best staff best facility. He is the most thorough, caring doctor I have ever met. Thank you Dr Shannon Wong

Dr. Wong just placed a Clearview 3 in my left eye a few days ago. I traveled from Oregon to Texas to have the procedure. Austin Eye was worth the trip. The staff and facilities are excellent and everything has been as expected. My vision is clearing daily and I expect I'll soon be able to report similar outcomes to those of the patients in the videos. So far it looks good.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
would love to hear your experience with nighttime driving glare, halos, "angel wings", etc... and how bad they are, if you have them. thanks for sharing!
Dear Dr. What is the power required for reading, in common if we use the premium EDOF lense.
My first patient who got the odyssey is extremely happy
Always good information 👍
Looks like a great IOL option, if no significant astigmatism! Thanks for the update.
OMG! I wish so much they had this when I had my cataracts done 3 years ago. I live in Canada and chose lenses not covered by my medical for which I paid extra. I am so unhappy with the results - negative dysfotopsia in my left eye, unclear distance vision in my right eye, floaters, etc. I never wore glasses until my late 30’s and, now, in 70’s wanted so much not to have to wear glasses which was not the case. Sad for me but happy for future cataract patients.
which lenses do you have now, if I may ask?
@@johndoe-ep7qk no sure which brand. Enhanced monovision
Amazing! I have prisms on my eyes, and I am not sure I am eligible for premium lenses. Great informative video..
I just had cataract surgery a month ago. I didn’t even know this was an option. Damn it!
Looking forward to your review of the J&J TECNIS IOL……here in the UK they have a new Toric
Version called PureSee.
Great video!
Thank you Mohammed! The clearview 3 is a great lens! HOWEVER, like all lenses there are some people who will not like how they see with it. I think it is fair to state that about 99% of clearview patients are satisfied with how they see.
Toric available?
Dr. Wong, please add another question with your patients. “With your night vision, can you see stars and galaxies bright and clearly?” I lost that capability 22 years ago after lasik, miss those stars when out camping.
Since two weeks I have the Tecnis Puresee EDOF IOL's. My eyes still are adapting and every day I am seeing a bit better. I can read my phone from 30 cm distance and During day - time, I can see perfectly far away. It is in the night setting or indoors with a lot of light sources that my eyes are still adapting, but I see slow progress.
The starbursts that occured at lights further than 3 meters in the beginning, now only show when they are 10 - 20 meters away, so I am confident that once my eyes have completely adapted to these IOL's I will be able to see everything sharp without glasses.
Maybe only when there is really really fine print or when soldering electronic components. But in daily life, it looks like I will be glasses free.
Unfortunately I can find almost nothing about the Tecnis Puresee lenses. What is your opinion about these EDOF lenses?
Hi. I am very interested in your comment. Can you keep us updated on your progress. I am very interested in the Tecnis Puresee but you are the first person who has had this new Lens that I have had heard testimony from.
DId you do the surgery in Europe?
Thank you for sharing your experience. Could you name the surgeon please ?
May I know what is your fine print reading power?.
Dr. Wong, thank YOU so much for these information. Please let us know if Medicare covers expenses for these lens?
Thank you
I wish I would have waited for the Clearview 3 .. I just got the LAL+ in both eyes about 5 weeks ago n I don’t have the most ideal vision rt now even after the YAG treatment .. thanks for the info Dr Wong
Did you have the lock-in treatment or are you still undergoing adjustments ?
@@milenao4455 not yet because I have to see a retina specialist to see why I still have the hazy after YAG treatment n still not see 20/30 clearly on my dominant eye .. so my dominant is set to see up close now .. I only had 1 light treatment so far .. my non dominant is set to see far and I’m only seeing 20/25
Dr Wong .. should I be concerned if the dominant eye is set to see up-close ? I’ve been having more headaches lately..
Hopefully the next few iterations of the product will bring one that fits us with the astigmatism curse.
I’ll be…ahem…keeping an eye on developments. Thanks for putting this on my radar.
I fear no :( The IOL is 12 years old.
I’ve been waiting for this video since you first introduced the ClearView. Great update. Dr Wong if you could share patient experiences with IOLs and amblyopia (non dom lazy) I’d love to see it. Hard to find any info.
My understanding is that premium implants are NOT COVERED by any insurance.
Hi Dr, thanks for sharing this awesome video. I had the panoptix lens on my left eye a year ago, and LAL lens (distance) on right eye this year. The left eye with panoptix was fine for the first 3 months until a yag was preformed, but then a month later after the second yag, my distance vision gotten blurry (worst than ever). My close up vision is still good 20/20. Is it risky to do the IOL exchange after 2 years later or do you think it can be done? I already had two YAG's preformed on the left eye and not sure if the PCO/bag can hold IOL? Or should I leave it as is since I still have good reading vision with panoptix and great distance vision with the LAL lens on the right eye?
good question
Love this intro
tone loc. classic!
Great video. Excellent presentation. I wish I was in the state of Texas instead of New Hampshire. The other problem is that those lenses are made from unaffordabtanium! They are far more expensive than most people can afford and Medicareless certainly won't cover them.
Dr, what is the minimum minus power you consider before recommending CLEARVIEW 3 IOL?
How much is the surgery?
Hello Doctor, I had over a 100 black dots following my cataract surgery last year. They gradually disappeared. It's been 9 months and I still see a dot or 2 indoors. Why did I get dots? What can be done to prevent dots in my other eye? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
You are awesome
Thank you
If I had a monofocal lens put in one eye 6 years ago and I am not happy with it, can you replace it with Clearview?
Hi Dr. Wong, I have done a few CV3 and have had good results. I noticed you are using these for post refractive patients, how many have you done and are there any considerations (HOA, flat/steep Ks) that you use as a cut off? Thank you for your advice!!
I've placed about 130 Clearview to-date. Best estimate is that about 25-30 have been in post LASIK eyes. If topography is relatively normal, thus far results seem normal. No RK eyes yet.
Is it better than the LAL please, and why??
LAL is not a multifocal lens. I had Dr. Wong replace my LAL with the Clearview 3 because Monovision with LAL didn't workd well.
@@shennessful How is your vision now? Do you have drop shadows behind text? What didn't you like about the LAL? Thank you for posting. You are so fortunate to have Dr. Wong as your surgeon.
Can the average individual afford this surgery? How much would this cost of you had to get both eyes done with the Clearview?
What are the anticipated results for patients that had RK in the 80’s?
Would one of these CV3’s work in 1 eye that has optic nerve damage? I had cataract surgery in my right eye a month ago (July 1st, 2024) and the lens my doctor put in is AWFUL! My vision is WORSE across the board. I asked my doctor about these lenses and he says I’m not a candidate. I have some astigmatism also?
What is the limit of astigmatism for cv3
Is it OK to have a multifocal IOL in one eye and a monofocal in the other?
In most cases, yes.
Dear Dr. Wong, wish I have watch your video before my L eye cataract surgery 2 weeks ago, now I am waiting to have my R eye done. My L eye was replace with PanOptix toric UV IOL. The L eye vision at second day post op was 20/40 , the mid and near vision were great , but the halo and glare at night bother me very much in the first few days and is getting a little better on the second week.
I would like to try mix lenses to reduce the halo effect my R eye. My doctor doesn’t like Vivity lens, not sure if he has try the newer ClearView 3 lens yet. Will an astigmatism correction lens for R eye work ? What choice of lens do I have ? Love to hear your opinion. Much appreciated.
Sir! How do you decide the diopter of the lens you'll implant? Thank you.
Could you please tell us about Ziess IOL? I live in Romania and most of doctors here recomand Zeiss lenses. Can you tell me how they compare with Panoptix or Clear View 3, please? Thank you very much
Hi Dr. Where are you located? I am in NY and would love to be able to meet with you

hi doc, i had a capsule rupture in my right eye last year. originally i requested for a multilens implant, but the doctor of st lukes just have to replace a near sighted lense because of a capsule rupture that happened to my right eye. after a year i still have glare and floaters. what should i do? can i file a case to the doctor?
Just a question out of medical curiosity "What was the main reason to leave implanting mainly diffractive multi focal IOL and switch to the clearview-3 on such a scale? "
The Clearview 3 seems to deliver overall more consistent clear vision with less night time artifacts than the diffractive multifocal lenses.
@@ShannonWongMD will the ClearView 3 if my eyesight is -8.25
@@ShannonWongMD Unfortunately are doctors that implant these these lenses very scarce in Europe/ The Netherlands. Would be a great lens for me as a private pilot (medical license). Thank you very much for your answer and enthusiasm in your posts !
Is the Clearview 3 appropriate for someone who had Lasik in the past? Seems like the LAL is tailored for those patients.
We place the Clearview 3 in patients with prior LASIK multiple times per week. It works well.
@@ShannonWongMD Thanks for the quick reply. That's good know! Technology is a wonderful thing....
Hi from Turkey.
I am 29 years old. I have been using eyeglasses since my childhood due to high level of myopia -10.
I went through vitrectomy due to retinal detachment on my right eye 8 years ago. I realized something was wrong but it was too late. I can say that I lost my vision to some extent.
I have cataract on my right eye as well. And minimal cataract on my left eye. What would be the best lens or solution for me?
Regards
Hello Doc, the ClearView 3 correct astigmatism too?
For patients with the Clearview 3, we correct astigmatism by performing astigmatic corneal surgery at the time of the cataract/lens replacement procedure.
Is the procedure to correct the astigmatism cover by Medicare?
@@jorgenj1 No. Medicare does not pay for astigmatism correction.
@@ShannonWongMD thank you for your quick replies

The Clearview-3 looks like a great IOL. I have done research. What I struggle to understand is: This IOL was launched in 2012 in Europe. As per now, I only found one clinic in EU who offers it, and it is classified as a "special IOL" they don't even have it in their inventory. Must find out why Europe stopped using this, they prefer trifocals. I fear the reason may be something the US will find out later, bit I hope not! I have checked with more than 100 clinics in EU. Any ideas anyone?
I live in Europe as well and I was looking for a clinic that has the Clear View 3 and didn’t find one. I wonder why…
@@cotescunicoleta1052sbl-3 is the same. Rebranded to clearview -3 before US launch. Ocp in Prague the only one I found
its called Lenstec SBL 3 over there?
@@jamesq3210 yes!
Why you post this video in 3am middle night?
