You can't go wrong with a monofocal lens. You will get the sharpest distance and highest contrast and night vision possible. What is the big deal using reading glasses for reading. Only less than arm's length does vision start to weaken. Glasses not needed at all for driving. 100 % of light goes to retina with monofocal lens, not true with multifocal lens.
Excellent video. Learned a few new things. However, calling the yag procedure “laser polishing” is a bit of polishing which does not plain. what is actually happen as I understand it’s is cells from the old lenses growing on the capsule that contains the location of the new interocular lenses , thus needing a laser to basically blow a hole in the capsule to regain clarity. I recommend that ANYBODY who is considering cataract surgery spend lots of times on forums where people comment on the results of their operation. This is critical so you will understand the potential complications of cataract surgery but even more importantly, you will understand to temper your expectations. This surgery results in very good outcomes but it will not allow you to see like a teenager. At this point, there are always trade offs . Maybe in the future, a real artificial lense that truly accommodates like the original will come to fruition, but we are not there yet..
That's true; about the YAG; it's making a hole in the capsule; it doesn't polish. There are accommodative lenses though, the former company I worked for also preformed them but ultimately stopped with it as you couldn't give a good prediction on the accommodative function; it differed per person. They had the Crystalens that works on hinges. However there is now the FluidVision, that produces accommodation much more on changing the form of the lens much like the original lens does... however I'm not familiar with it's results and how good it functions.
I’m planning on doing toric monofocal. That will give me the best I can get. I know I will have to do excersizes to adjust , my eyes have never been the same anyway. And you can train your brain to deal with it. Looking so forward to getting it done.
I had the surgery 4 months ago and when I move and try to focus the images I'm feeling dizzy, I noticed that near the nose when I lift my head the image is a little wavy, the lens is aspherical monofocal and I have myopia -0.5 and astigmatism -0.75. Before the surgery I didn't have this dizziness, the lens could be out of position, a little tilted, what could it be? Rayner RAO600C lens, this lens has good protection. -0.5 myopia was a medical error?
Hi Doctor...I am 47yrs with high myopia & cataract has started for my right vision. My eye specialist had advised that I can apply IOL. However, appreciate if you can advise how long it can be recovered after surgery?.🤕 Thank you
Nice... very lean video... one of the easiest videos to understand, clear, and to the point, concise yet loaded with basic information on lenses... Thank You Doc.
Im now 72, five years ago I had cataracts removed and had the inter-occular multi focal Tecnis Symfony lens procedure on both eyes. My close and distance vision is now fantastic! I do not need any other vision correction (contacts or eye glasses) and have been so impressed with the results. If your eyes are otherwise healthy aside from the cataracts, I heartily recommend inter-ocular implants!
doc is there a big dofeerence between hard lens with stitches and soft lens without stitches? Because my motger will undergo to cataract surgery and our doc give us 2 options the free hard lens or the expensive soft lens?

Thanks, Doctor, for this very informative and helpful video -- and I love your light-hearted use of graphics/images to emphasize your points!
One of the best, clearest presentations!! Very helpful ! Thank you!👏💐💥

@@stijnvdv2 I'll check the fluid vision. A true accommodative IOL would be a complete game changer
Great video but next time leave out that annoying music.
Hi doctor. Can we choose monofocal lens with close vision on 1 eye and monofocal with far vision on the other eye?
0:53 It’s a shame that the replacement lenses aren’t flexible as to allow for change in focus.
Great explanation ❤️
Great video! Thank you so much!
Great easy to understand explanation.
Thx 😀

If a patient has had trouble wearing Toric does that mean they should probably consider monofocal? I am NS, FS, astigmatism & DP issues.

Great explanation, Dr.
And if the halo's don't go away after the YAG laser, it will be significantly harder/risky to exchange the lens
I have astigmatism in 1 eye and I chose a toric lense viewing only distance. What do you recommend when it’s time to do the other eye.
What's the difference between Cornea and intraocular implants?
Excellent explanation for a person like myself , a lens replacement candidate.
Obrigado, thank you.
Why Dr Lim's camera quality so potato

Are your lenses similar to Toric?
Do you experience any halos at night?
Excellent madam.
Thanks for the info doc. About IOL is there any difference in quality between made in usa, germany, china, india etc?
doc is there a big dofeerence between hard lens with stitches and soft lens without stitches? Because my motger will undergo to cataract surgery and our doc give us 2 options the free hard lens or the expensive soft lens?
Meme magic in a medical video. Some parts of the future are quite better than the good old days 😂
This perfect was perfect to review now, I will be going to have my assessment next week.
Will these procedure help visual dyslexia?
Why does a lens collapse in your eye
