Mam, my daughter has keratoconus. Can you do a video on this subject.

[tsbrownie]

Dr. Lee, I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to create these very informative videos. Question: I was in that few percent whose (mis)calculated correction left me very farsighted in my right eye. It has been fixed, but is there anything a patient can do to lessen the chances of a poor outcome? Are there clues a patient can/should pass along to the surgeon to alert them to possible, unusual conditions that might warrant the use of alternate measurements/models or other?
I could not wear contacts for myopia in high school because they did not have them "flat enough" for my eyes, but it never occurred to me to tell that to the first, right eye, doctor. Could that information have helped to avoid the miscalculation? (The left eye surgeon used a laser interferometer during surgery to correct his manual calculations and all went to plan. I now have rather extreme, but livable, monovision. ) Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Lee.
As I watch TV all the time I see lots of Commercials and quick flashes micro
second after second, and avoid tv with palm of hand because it bothers me.
Are these flashes damaging just my eyes or its normal for all ? I'm 75 years old.

Dear ma'am, if a patient is not co-operating under topical anaesthesia, can he be given IV sedation also ?

Hi..Dr. Michele Lee,

Could you possibly be able to do a video of You Performing A Cataract Surgery on a patient in your Operation Room using the

1) Conventional or Pharcoemulsification, and the

2) Femtosecond laser-assisted Cataract Surgery ?

I love your videos. I will have cataract surgery & thinking about multifocal lense. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!

Hi Dr Lee, I had radial keratotomy back in the late 80's.
I am 67 now, and need reasonably good near vision as I am still working full time in IT.
I have cataract (worse in left eye) and will be having cataract surgery soon.
What are my options please ?
Thanks in advance.

I have cataracts and have been using glasses for the last few years. My eye Dr. Has said I will need lens replacement at some point. I'm wondering if the cataracts can be removed without lens replacement or does the cataract stick to the lens, thus requiring the removal of both?
