Eye Surgery- Cataract with Lens Replacement

- This 3D medical animation shows the formation of a cataract- the clouding of the eye's lens that leads to decreased vision and its removal by two different processes; phacoemulsification and extracapsular removal. In phacoemulsification a tiny probe is inserted into the eye. The probe emits ultrasound waves that break up the cloudy lens into small fragments, then a suction device removes these fragments. This is the most common form of cataract removal surgery. This procedure usually requires no stitches. In extracapsular removal of the cataract an incision is made in the eye, and the hard center of the lens is removed. At the conclusion of each procedure an artificial lens is insert into the eye.

This surgery rocks. Two days later I have excellent near vision and distance is quickly coming in as the healing progresses. I'm blown away by the vibrant colors and light I can now see.
May I know how much it cost ? For both eyes ?
The lense comes in various price range starting from 200 to 500 us dollars in india
I had cataract surgery & lens replacement on both eyes, 2 months apart. Both surgeries were normal and routine, but the first lens shoots off rays when looking at car headlights or other bright lights, and is slightly fuzzy but not cloudy. The 2nd lens is perfect; vision is like it was when I was a kid. So I've concluded that I may have a defective implanted first lens, and have a post-op appt. next week, at which time I'll bring up the subject with my eye surgeon.
How did it go ?
Well come on NORMAN How did it go? It's been 7 years, don't drop the ball now. We need to know.
@@wjm4268 lmaoooo it’s been 8 years now
How’d it go chief? Hopefully you still have your password
And how is it now?
Cataract surgery is fairly simple and can take less than 10 minutes. I had mine about a year ago, and was surprised at how quickly it was done. If this is the type of eye surgery your having, you'll be okay:)
Can you still see to this day?😊
I'm watching one of these for the first time in two days, very excited !
this gave me chills
I had this surgery yesterday, but not for cataract, but for glaucoma, same procedure but for a different reason. If I did not have this surgery I would go blind. So it was a no brainer. I will be having the other eye operated on in two weeks, not looking forward to it, but preferable to the other alternative. Word of warning though, if like me you have had laser eye treatment to improve your eyesight in earlier years, it makes this procedure a lot harder and a lot more painful.
Peter Smithies: Your attitude is wonderful; and I hope you have excellent results in both eyes forever:). I had my first cataract surgery (not for glaucoma) yesterday and am elated with the improvement. I wish you all the very best!
I have Glaucoma also and had worsening cataracts. My surgeries were two weeks apart, and am seeing much better six days after the second surgery. Did have bad headaches after the surgery, which because of the higher pressure due to Glaucoma made them more intense. By the following day and follow up I was feeling much better.
4 of my 7 children are visually impaired. All were born with cataracts nd had the surgeries at 3mos, 5mos, 8mos nd 3mos. They're 16 4 1 nd 4mos (tomorrow) All their surgeries were ALL a success.
Wow ,I am glad it was successful.I am 35 and I’ll be under going the same procedure next week.I was a little nervous,thanks for your comment.
Maybe it's time to start thinking about condoms, birth control, vasectomy, getting your tubes tied, or becoming a nun.
just been diagnosed yesterday with cataract. my doctor said my lenses are opaque. he said it's not an emergency but asked me to think about having surgery. that sh!t is scary, am still afraif even after having undergone lasik years back.
Messed up my eye with a screwdriver and wasn't wearing eye protection luckily I didn't stab my eye but I did slice it, so I had to get my eye stitched and because of the impact I instantly gave my eye a cataract and messed up my lens badly. I'm currently in recovery with no natural lens but hopefully soon I can get the new lens implanted. If anyone replies and I've had the surgery I'll let you all know how it went.
@gemquist it has improved greatly. I need the glasses for seeing things 20+ feet away but even then I can still get a general idea of what I'm looking at and see it in detail. An example, when I'm taking notes at school I can see my notebook just fine. But the chalkboard is another story. I can see the writing but it's not clear enough to read. A problem did arise when I was taking notes. Because when I looked up at the board I needed glasses but when I looked at my notebook I didn't. So I got
I had this performed on me when I was in kindergarten and first grade. Once for each eye. I'm 14 now and my eye doctor tells my mom every visit that my case was such a success that, "they should write a book on me". I don't remember much of it but my friends say they remember a kid with an eyepatch and are surprised to find that it was me. My mom claims that when light hits my eyes at just the right angle the new lenses glisten. I had laser eye surgery on one of them in 2006. That's the last th
Hi
you were my age 11 years ago but you're 25 now, damn. hope you're doing well wherever you are rn
@@shevaram3167Hi
I had this done last year 2013 under local anasthetic one eye at a time it's no big deal a patch for a day and I can see again
NINE years since this video was uploaded. Me I just had both eyes done over the course of two weeks and am still recovering and doing well. I had LASER surgery which is more precise then the method shown in this video.
@slazzer145 The actual procedure went very smoothly. For about two days any bright light, esp. fluorescent lights, made my eye go into spasms which was very uncomfortable. That was the only pain at any time. I didn't even feel the anesthesia injection as some reported. The acuity with the implanted lens is not 100%. I can only speculate that the pre-surgical measurements were not accurate. Those are really a best guess anyway. It's still a dramatic improvement over the cataract of course.
To prevent the brightness of light getting into the eyes, patients are supposed to wear a very dark 🕶️ with the sides also bent to block the entry of any light or dust. Other instructions from the doctor too.
This is neat but I feel sick about them touching my eye!
chompet123 I have had three eye survives so far. They are difficult to experience, but manageable.
great presentation! thumbs up :)
My procedure used sound waves to break up the cataract.
Vision has improved much,the cataract was due to a projectal impact 34 years prior...
I'm getting this next week.
Yes, but not much. If in one eye you could get through, but if you get both eyes done same time you will need help that evening. Next day is ok, I went to the cinema in the afternoon [had both eyes done].
really cool!
I should have been more specific. I meant that it was a fairly simple procedure for the patient. I've also had retina surgeries, one of which took about two hours. It can be agitating for a patient who is a awake to lay still that long. I personally get very antsy-and which liquid inside? Do you mean the aqueous? That's the liquid that sits on the anterior part of the eye. Even if that sort of mishap happened, compared to other surgeries, I would consider it to be a lot simpler.
I've had several eye surgeries-all took a couple of hours and I was awake for all of them. They numbed the surface of my eye so that they could go through my eye with a needle and numb the entire area so that I could opt out of any "real" medicine. I am a wimp when it comes to anesthesia:)
U cannot have several surgeries?
Cataract is only a one time surjery 😆
This is for Amber?
Cataract surgery is simple procedure to save the vision of the people, great technology with phaecoemulsification. tommorow i will see the cataract surgery at MM hospital, Indonesia.
I was born with a cataract but my vision didn't improve because I lost the sight if my 1 eye, maybe it does improve if you developed a cataract. Thanks youtube,I now understand what happened.
Only take sample from the left eye due to the cells structure
Only use samples from blood to help caract or lense replacement or some form of tissues
@amber4music it may be simple for the patient but for the doctor is like hell, a little mistake on ultrasound and he can brake the hole where the lens sit, and the liquid inside will come out.
To anyone who has had option 1: could you see right after surgery?
Yes❤
I don't think you need to be asleep, I had my surgery done 4 months ago and it was done with ehm.. partial aenesthesis? I think that's what it's called.
Nice
I just had mine but cannot see ok as yet?
I read 📚 it might be 4 to 6 weeks?
Some peoples maybe earlier.It depends?
Doctor I need ur advice
Is it painful or not
correct me if im wrong. those guys just removed the lense the thing makes focus on thing. after that surgery can we see things like before? sry my english is bad :(
@Torypeppler So how did it go? My procedure is scheduled in 10 days.
Eh. . .not really. . .I waited too long for my first surgery-for my retinal detachment. I was blind in that eye by the time I had my surgery, so. . .no.
Think its called a "cataract," rather than "catarack."
could you see while on surgery?
@amber4music were you awake or asleep while the surgery was going on?
@JustmeKasie
I believe you mean characters not words.
How can the artificial lens work if it can't be stretched by the lens muscles like your natural lens can? And how do you attach it to the lens muscles?
Haptic on len cannot make fall..
@@gorameshgo3287 eh? Whatever that means
...Stiches?
I DONT WANT STITCHES IN MY EYE WHEN I DO THIS IM SCARED IF I HAD TO DO THIS :( :'(
...Technology has come such a far way.
how do they make stitches that small?
Small needle and thread
Wait didnt you watch the video? She said that stichting wasn’t necessary
can it replay color len or have to be clear?
Yes u can
I have a problem in retina coz there I had an injury and iwent sergery ,now there something whitish growing inside it,can be removed ?even I don't see with that eye,can somebody tell me
You should go Opthomologist and diagnosis it first. Then as per that Opthomologist suggestions you can take any treatment.. you should find one expect..
The lense a lay over with lte access think bout it fools I was in the hospital many time I can remember some things had my first eye surgery at 6 yrs old come on now ....
