My name is Alex, and my Eye surgery explained channel - all about vision, new vision recovery technologies, eye deceases, and more.
My goal is to help peoples, having vision problems, from low myopia to cataract, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration to get valuable information.

I will talk about deceases or eye conditions and treatment options available up to date, explained not by a doctor, means in simple words, and truthfully by an expert in the ophthalmic industry.

Ask your questions below, and I will try to help!

I have created that channel as my passion to help peoples to get the maximum of their sight.

Feel free to ask about IOL selection criteria, IOL specifications and professional suggestion from experienced clinical application specialist.

Please note, that I am not a doctor, and your health conditions and any actions related to that has to be discussed with your doctor only.

Your final point is very, very good advice. It is too easy to get caught up in defocus curves and the other tech, but at the end of the day the best way to choose is by asking your surgeon how your new IOL vision will compare with your current vision at various distances.

Very interesting. Lots to think about. Thank you so much! Love your channel.

Everyone should see this before cataract surgery! I'm 3 week out since my surgery. Doctor recommended lens for distance. I wanted to drive at night again. I actually drove last night and it was better but now the speedometer panel is blurry, I need to wear glasses even when doing dishes..., another words my near vision seems much worse and I'm sure I will need stronger glasses for reading, computer, arts & crafts etc. Everything up close is much blurrier. Thank you for making this video. I hope it will help someone else.

As an Ophthalmologist I have used most of the lenses available.In my own eyes I would want a Rayone EMV or a Hoya vivinex in a mini monovision configuration. Good far, intermediate and fair close vision with very little disphotopsia symptoms . Some EDOFS lenses work well but are exspensive

[garygreen]

Great advice, as always. I think another important question to the surgeon would be on the point of lense placement, "What is his/her statistical percentage of achieving plane 0 in patients". This would have significant effect on your last point.

Hello! First I like your video its very well explained, I am 77 years old I have been using driving and computer reading glasses for last 20 years.Yesterday I went to see my Optometrist to examine my eyes for new glasses.After the Optometrist told me my glass numbers didn't change very much I am seeing blurry because of a cataract in my eyes and it has to be removed. I learned more after watching your video I don't know what type of implant lens I need after the cataract removed???? I am retired I like to see long distances for driving and I spend lots of time on 16-inch screen laptop computer. I like to stay away from wearing eye glasses. Thank you😊

Thank you for your advice. I used your points to talk to my surgeon and chose the Eyehance Toric lens set for near vision because I work with my hands at close distance a lot and don’t like wearing glasses for that. It also corrects for my minor astigmatism.
It’s a mono focal lens with enhanced depth perception giving near and mid range vision.
I am ok for wearing glasses to correct distance vision, since I have been wearing glasses for that for long time and don’t mind it.
Also the Eyehance lens can be shaped later with Lasik surgery if I change my mind about near vision without glasses.
My surgery is in 2 days.
Hope I made the right decision…

At 78, I'm told that I need cataract surgery, but being myopic, I didn't need glasses for reading until age 55!
Having worn progressive lenses for 23 years, I tried wearing a very old pair of glasses (no progression) to
see if monofocal, cataract lenses would suffice after surgery & feel that I would not be happy with the results!
So, I guess it will have to be multi-focal lenses, even though it will cost thousands more!

Can progressive lens glasses (post surgery) make up for the single focal point of mono focal IOls? I have been very near sighted all my life and thus have been wearing progressive lenses for 30 years, and are happy with them. But one of my eyes has developed a significant cataract such that prescription lens can't overcome the vision degradation. I've had one exam and consult with an eye surgeon and he recommended mono focal lenses for me, specifically Eyehance, and set for distance. I need to do a follow-up since I have more questions. One of them being about the use of glasses afterward. I am guessing that I'd be wearing glasses similar to what I have now. Except the top part clear (for distance), and middle part and lower part, with magnification for intermediate and near.

If, on the contrary, I had focal point set for intermediate (this was suggested by my optometrist), would I then need two sets of glasses; one for distance (e.g., for driving) and one for near (e.g., for reading and close work)? Or could this be handled with progressive glasses, though it seems not logical, since the center part would be clear.

Hey there, I recently had a lens exchange for both of my eyes. The lens in my right eye is for mid to long distance, and it's been fantastic; I cannt feel it. However, the lens in my left eye, which is for short-range reading, is not working well. I still have blurry vision and I can feel the lens in my eye. Do you have any idea why I'm experiencing these effects?

The information I have obtained as a result of all my research: I am 38 years old and no lens will satisfy me as I do not have any problems other than cataracts. :(

2 meters is considered far? That is good news, because I understood 3 meters is advertised, but usually it's 6 meters and beyond. Also, if pupils are not dilating, will you still be able to make use of the multi-focal lenses or not?
