What a professional demeanor this man has! Cannot wait for my initial appt with Dr Wong for setting up this surgery! Better seeing here I come!
Dr Wong,
Thank you so much for such a clear, precise & comprehensive video coverage on all the “ Do’s & Dont’s “ in preparation for the cataract surgery…
I find it extremely informative & helpful…
Thank you once again for taking the time & effort to provide such much needed information…
👍😊
Thank you Dr. Wong. This is very helpful!
Thank you for posting. The instructions are much more detailed and clear than what I have been given by my surgeon's office. Hopefully, this would help my upcoming surgery go more smoothly. Very anxious in the meantime.
Appreciate the thorough and detailed instructions. Thank you!
Very informative, much appreciated
Thank you Dr. Wong for each explication of each video of before, during, and after the surgery, I am nervous concerning it, but have helped me to understand it better. In Ontario Canada it might be different with somethings but at least you get the point clear
Thank you. This video was very helpful.
Thank you doctor
Thank you!
Thanks dear Dr Shannon Wong for your informative & wonderful video.
I am in Bangladesh. I am suffering from both eyes cataract. Next year I will do my cataract surgery in Bangladesh, supposed to your clinic if you close to our country.
If you are a high-myopic patient that wears eyeglasses 100% of the time and you're getting a monofocal distance correction, keep ready a +1.00 or +1.25 reading glass if you want to be able to see your countertops/stovetop while waiting to fix the second eye. Keeping ready a +2.00 or +2.50 reading glass for reading is also not a bad idea. My doc told me I could pop out the right lens of my progressive and go like that for a week, but it totally does not work if the myopia is very high.
you're the best
Good morning Dr Wong. Thank you so much for your informative videos. I’m in Australia and had Lasik with a Kamra Inlay in the left eye ten years ago. I’m told I’m developing cataracts and surgery to replace the lens would be a great option. I was wondering if you have performed cataract surgery and replacement lens on an eye with Kamra and if so what lens would you recommend or monofocal or panoptix? Thank you.
Dr Wong, these are great videos. I developed presbyopia at 40, I am now 50 and its really bad. I am also losing my distance vision, but so far I am able to just use +1.50 readers for distance and it seems to correct it, and +2.50 with astigmatism correction for computer use. I hate both. Seems my vision is still getting worse, and going from perfect vision to having to change glasses, and sometimes not needing distance glasses depending on the day is frustrating. Anyway, my optometrist mentioned premium lens replacement which I did not even know it was a thing, and that is what led me to your channel. My question is, can I get a multifocal in just one eye and leave the other one alone? My presbyopia is worse in my left so that is the one I was thinking of getting done. This whole thing is terrifying. My parents and my sister all had successful cataract surgeries so I assume this is a very similar procedure based on your videos.
Wish I lived near Austin!!!
Dr. Wong, are you aware of a lens that works well with persons with high myopia (where the numbers are negative) ?
How much does this cost? You are so insistent about payment that I am wondering about my surgery now.
I’m from Canada I will have the surgery in a couple months. I’m a diabetic
They do not eat before the procedure is that okay even those I’m taking the valium.
What is the cost of Alcon toric lens compared to J&J Eyhance toric lens?
Good morning sir
I have iridofundal coloboma ... I had cataract surgery 3 month before after the surgery I m experiencing positive dysphotosia (glare,big-big halos,star bust , lightning streaks) and negative dysphotosia (dark crecent shadow on my left side) and dilopia(double text vission) and also had PVD (unignoreable giant floater that can be seen in dim light .... And causing dynamic glare fluctuations.....
I am truly depressed I only have this eye with vission other eye don't have vission.....
Pls help me sir .... I know the only solution for this problems is IOL exchange along with Floater vitrectomy.... I m not able to my simple day to day work from this problems...
I m very cleaver and excellent in acedemics sir .. I was persuing my engineering in CS branch from IIT Madras ... Pls help me to grow and fly again like before ....
My only hope for my life is you
Coz I know the professionalism is in you is never on other surgeon
Pls help me sir pls
I am from INDIA and belongs from a lower middle class family
I am facing this torture since 3 month sir
Plzz reply sir PlZ reply
Can you tell me what’s the normal cost ?
I didn't take the valium before my cataract surgery, I refused it, because, to my opinion it is not necessary, I was completely calmed and relaxed before and during the operation
After surgery what can be done if your not happy with your distance vision other than glasses?
What kind of IOL are you planning on getting? Single Vision, Extended Focus, or Multifocal? Will you be getting any of these with an astigmatism correction?
@@mark9118 Symfony per Surgeon
@@rogerrussell7984 Symfony is an Extended Focus lens. If a correction for astigmatism is included in your IOL, and the vision is not optimal due to unintended rotation of the lens after it is implanted, then usually adjustments in the rotational position of the IOL can be made. Beyond that, I would ask your Dr.
Solutions to improve vision after cataract or lens replacement surgery include: 1) glasses, 2) contact lenses, 3) LASIK/PRK corneal surery, 4) astigmatic incisional surgery, 5) intraocular lens exchange. The solution is very individualized.
@@ShannonWongMD if a patient opts for the Vivity because they do not want the risk of halos and glare, could they then get lasik to achieve optimal near vision? Therefore resulting in being specticle free.
What about someone taking Aspirin? is okay to take it prior to cataract surgery
I would check with your eye doctor. Aspirin and Advil are blood thinners and it is usually not good to take those before any kind of surgery. However, if you take a low dose aspirin for heart problems, then let your doctor know about it.
No need to stop any medication before cataract surgery.
@@ShannonWongMD Thank you for the clarification
Can cataract surgery be performed on an eye that has uveitis
In general, uveitis should be controlled before cataract surgery.
Do you have access to Clareon PanOptix?
Here is a TH-cam video that Dr. Wong did about 4 months ago called "Synergy vs PanOptix - Assessment after 400 Synergy and 1000+ PanOptix lenses. Shannon Wong, MD"
th-cam.com/video/wpffIdiQ1zM/w-d-xo.html
The reply does not show.
@@aniketnavalkar5974 Does not show what?
@@mark9118 does not show whether they have access to Clareon panoptix or not.
Clareon is new and different material. Not Acrysoft. I think this would be good product but need time for studying and some statistic analysis.
Do you require a Covid test before surgery?
no.
@@ShannonWongMD my clinic requires me to take a Covid test before he does the cataract surgery and I said no. Therefore I canceled my surgery
@@margaretsaludis8604 that’s stupid
Although lens replacement surgery in most cases restores vision completely, there is still one negative consequence. A large number of patients develop secondary cataracts over time: from 30-50% of those operated on.
CONCLUSION: even if you implant the most expensive or the most technologically advanced lens FOR 30-50% of patients you will need to make a HOLE so that LIGHT reaches the retina, isn’t it easier to just insert a “GOOD” MONOFOCAL HYDROPHOBIC LENS...... Why then do eye surgeons in mainly ADVERTISING various ARTIFICIAL CRYSTALS???
Answer: 1) campaigning to acquire patients, AND IN THE RESULT MONEY 2) Companies that produce not only lenses, but also related devices and materials, THAT IS, THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY AROUND THE EYES is initially interested in ADVERTISING their products. (but this is not advertising around cars or sneakers, etc., BUT THESE ARE EYES...)
You were doing great until charging 💴 for less than72 hours cancellation. I have never been late or missed an appointment, but life happens and at times less than the 72 hours. Too bad money gets in the way of what was a great TH-cam medical explanation.
Really disappointed!
