Very important information, thank you

[georgepoth]

Wow! Great video! All is to the point without any useless blah-blah-blah. This is very rare nowadays, as most of those who make videos seems to love to hear their own voices. Thanks a lot.

[akahina]

I had cataract surgery on both eyes this summer, now 30 days after the second. Every single thing you said has been my experience. Now I have to get used to a different set of eyes.

[garywarren]

This is the best video on cataracts that I've seen. The verbal explanations & use of visual examples makes for easier understanding of what cataracts are all about. I was unsure as to whether I had cataracts or not, that is, until I saw this video. As a result, I've just made an appointment with my optometrist to discuss my options. Many thanks for this great informative video Michael.

[Earthstein]

I'm 71. I surprisingly found this presentation is very important to me. I learned much. I have early cataracts. Thank you

[tringerjrcpa]

Man! This is the Best Video and Explanations that I've EVER seen on the Web about Eye Cataract Symptions! You nailed it! I going to share this link with others! Thank you so, so very much! What a great, helpful and informative, public service video!!

[avril]

Was nodding my head more and more through your explanation! Thank you. I’m about to have my left eye cataract removal, and have virtually all these symptoms.

[carolanne]

I am very nervous about having my eyes fiddled with but your video has relieved my anxiety. I have all those vision changes at age 78. It’s time.

[m.bernal]

Thank you ! Finally someone that talks the talk in a way that "we the people" can understand. I was told that I have a very weird type of cataract. my right eye cataract extends from right to left, and the cataract on my left eye extends left to right. Between the two, I have one full eye. However, the cataract on my right eye seems to be growing by the second. Yes, I totally suffer from most of the systoms you mention. Sad but true. I'm totally scared to have surgery. I've heard horror stories! I hope you address laser vs manual surgery. I'll check. Thank you for a GREAT video!

[spudmurphy]

Excellent information! I had my left eye done earlier this year and I'll be having the right one done soon.
I've worn glasses for myopia since I was about 8 and I'm now 73 - and the result in my left eye was astonishing - life-changing even. I went from -6.25 to 'eagle-eyed' - my logmar score since the op. is around 0.22 to 0.23, which is fantastic.
Brilliant work that you do.

[Sunset]

Excellent, efficient video. You sound so casual yet clearly knowledgeable at the same time. I’m relieved that to know what I’m experiencing might be due to my developing cataracts. I feel like I can relax for the couple of weeks it might take before I can get my eyes checked

[gwillis]

Thank you for an extremely detailed, informative video.

[Bohemian-Nilda]

Thank you so very much for an EXCELLENT explanation of cataracts! I really needed this bc I’ve gradually noticed those exact changes in my vision! Especially concerning colors! I spend lots of time painting landscapes and making colorful beaded jewelry and now I know why I’m losing the ability to see colors with the vibrancy and saturation that I used to. My husband has made comments about some of my paintings telling me that the sky, flowers, or grasses I had painted during a Plein Air painting session were more muted and less vibrant than they actually were. That also explains why I need little flash lights all over the house! And I’ve experienced other symptoms you’ve mentioned and thanks to you, now I know what’s going on with my eyes! I’m so grateful to you!❤

[iced_teaaa]

Thank you dr. I have been to optometrists many times, and didn’t get as much information as I have in your 14 minute breakdown. 🤘

[neilalleyne]

Thank you, you have answered all my questions. Brilliant video.

[sandrataylor]

I have been having trouble with my vision and as I am a diabetic, I saw my Optometrist last week and was diagnosed with cataracts. No explanation was given of what cataracts were just that I needed surgery to fix it and a prescription for eyeglasses for my worsening astigmatism was given. I told her that let me think on it. So, I was given a follow-up appointment in 6 months, I thank you for the clear and precise explanation about cataracts. I can make an intelligent decision now about my eyes. FYI: she said that my diabetes had not affected my eyes.

[amy]

Great video! I suffer from ALL of these cataracts symptoms. I’m 52 and had bilateral vitrectomies 30 years ago. Hmm…best look for a doc to fix this! Thank you!

[nickkostakis]

Great show BRILLIANT and very well explained and interesting thank you very much from Sydney Australia 😊

[ZoltanGregorHK]

Wonderful!. Thank you. This is the information I was looking for before and after my cataract surgery this summer. Could you make a similar video about astigmatism symptoms & signs?

A future video idea: effects AFTER cataract surgery, such as negative dysphotopsia and quivering vision.
