Thanks for the video it was very informative. I would be interested to know how much the istent inject equipment only costs?
Can't hear you
How to you keep someone from freaking out about a needle coming at them. It's so intrusive.
Hello my dear doctor, if we use Eyhance Iol, is it necessary to use progressive (close to the middle) glasses? Or would just close range glasses be enough? I'm asking for situations where the lens is perfect at a distance.
Hello Mr. Alwitry. I realize this video is now 3 years old and ask if your experience is still positive and if there are any negatives.. I am a +6.25 in both eyes with cataracts and slight astigmatism. Would that prevent me from Eyhance IOL? Apparently I have no macular or other limitations. I have worn glasses since age 2. Strabysmus surgery at age 7. I am 72 y/o and wear progressive eyeglasses. I am very demanding of the sharpest vision and worked with loupes as a dentist. I am convinced that MF dysphotopsias and related reduced/compromised visual acuity are a no go for me. Even should I combine 1 basic monofocal J&J DCB00 (or the toric ZCB00) with the extended monofocal Eyhance ICB00, what concerns me is that as mentioned in this thread, the Eyhance IOL geometry might make it difficult to have the most accurate progressive lenses made after surgery. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and sharing your experience.
Zero audio?
Thank you for this explanation. It was straightforward and clear.
Dr. Ammar, how are you. Your mom was my teacher and my mom's friend. I remember when you were born. Your grandfather was my mom's teacher at the university. Your dad was my dad's friend. And your dad's uncle was my dad's professor at the medical school in Baghdad. I would like to hear from your mom. Best regards.
What approach do I need to take to get answers to my questions or confusion around both the results and the logistics of cataract surgery? It seems I created an impossible problem for everyone involved because of prism and astigmatism. I got distance lenses, and I'm not unhappy about the result without glasses, but I still need glasses to work (computer -- all day) and to drive at night (unless all this new glare I'm experiencing is not correctable with glasses). The glare thing...before cataract surgery, I was told the glare I saw was because of the cataracts. Now, after, the glare is so. much. worse. And the same doctor is telling me, oh, that's because you have these new, clear lenses. Does that even make sense? I would pay for someone to just shoot me straight on this. (Yeah, I'm a little irritated as I type this. Sorry.)
Sir which is a better lens between tecnis eyehance and hoya Vivinex Impress lens?
Did you find the answer, if so please share it here.
Which lens should be used for congenital cataract in children
I guess i have what you are talking bout here, i was diagnosed with retina edema with a lesion, i went to an optomoligist they did many tests dialtion of the eyes, pressure test the eyes, light exam of the eyes & normal reading test of the eyes, so now i been refered out to a retina specialist unfortunately i have to go through the whole eye testing over again which was uncomfortable the pressure testing again the eyes themselves, i dont understand why they cant just use the prior test results from the optimoligist, i had very blurry fuzzy vision for hours that left me with such discomfort was horrible..
Contact Lenses
There's no mention about a Lasik touch up after cataract surgery
I put such crystals. I was very dissatisfied with the quality of the lens. I am 40 years I have no complaints against the doctors. For 65+, a good option is possible. But for those who are younger, it is better to install at least Symfony and Synergy. With Eyhance you will suffer greatly with far vision or wear glasses. It's a pity that the lenses are put in actually only once in a lifetime (only in super emergency cases you can change them).
These videos are very informative, thanks, but is there anything you can do about the very low volume? With everything set at 100% and in a quiet room I can barely understand your speech.
I had them 3 weeks ago just amazing don’t need glasses at all
Hi. We’re you near sighted before? And did you also have presbyopia? I was offered the Eyhance lens or the Synergy lens and am leaning toward the Eyhance because the Synergy seems to have a few more problems. I don’t want to take the chance and don’t mind using reading glasses. Do you need reading glasses? Can you do your daily activities without glasses? Do you know if you were given a mini monovision with your lenses? Any info you can give is very much appreciated.
Recently had cataract surgery myself. I had the dropless cataract surgery done and I chose a monofocal lens set for distance implanted. No regrets and my sight is just fine. Just need glasses to read small/fine print. No major issues so far and I'm due for my final appointment to my eye doctor in July. No complaints quite honestly. Anyway, take care and stay well. I enjoy your videos too!
Poor audio
I'm a 56 year old man. I had cataract surgery about six weeks ago in my right eye. I guess my cataract wasn't too severe, as I could still see, while wearing contact lenses, but it just always looked like there was a haze of smoke hanging in the air. As I said, I wore multi-focal contact lenses. Well, I still do in the left eye until I have that cataract taken care of as well, but so far I've only gotten the right eye done. Now I'm not so sure I want to even risk having the left eye done. I for one am VERY disappointed in the results after the right eye surgery. I no longer wanted to be dependent on classes or contacts so I went with the Clearview SBL-3 premium lens, so even with my two forms of insurance, it still cost me over $4,000 just for the one eye. Yet my vision is now worse than before I had the surgery, and it's as if there's still this haze of smoke hanging in the air. I'm both heartbroken and pissed off about it. Twice I've been back to see the ophthalmologist who performed the surgery and both times he told me everything looks perfectly normal, and I just need to give it time. How much time? From what I've read of most people's experiences, six weeks is more than enough time that my vision should be pretty good by now. I can't begin to express how incredibly disappointed I am.
Thnaks for explaining. Question: What can go wrong with micro monovision (.5 or .75 D)? Do you have experience with that? And the combination of a normal monofocal in one eye and in the other eye the Tecnis monofocal enhance....have experience with that? Thnx
Hi Doctor! What lens is the best to implant in a -8 myopic eye in a exchange operation of an unsuccessful EDOF Vuvity implantation for RLE? I have no desire to touch my left eye therefore have to go back to high myopia and wear glasses. I’m 48 y.o female. Thank you
You have a wonderful soothing bedside manner . I’m sure your patients are comforted by it .
😪 Promo'SM
What about toric lenses? For patients with astigmatism
My surgeon offered me the Synergy lens or the Eyhance lens. I think I will go with the Eyhance. I’ve heard of too many problems with the “clever” multi focals.
I already had cataract surgery with a standard monofocal lenses two years ago, am I one of the many who would of like this eyhance lens installed, and now it's too late?
It is too late I'm afraid. I can go back in and exchange lenses but it is fraught with problems and complexities. The risk versus benefit profile does not justify changing a monofocal for a premium monofocal I'm afraid.
@@amaralwitry3684 is it better then the model MX60E IOL, +17.00D ,looking to have monovision done on my untreated left eye, to give me better intermediate vision without glasses
Alcon arcysoft iq feedback
What you mean local anastetic ???
Another misrepresentation of J&J Eyhance. Any enhancement of intermediate or close up is gained at the cost of distance vision. Then some surgeons seem to have unrealistic brand loyalty that ends up telling the patient, "trust me, this is best for you" bullshit without ever disclosing even the correction factor or "glossing over it". If you are in Aviation or drive , you need to start with the best distance vision and not compromise the possibility of halos and dazel from headlights and wet roads. If you need glasses to read, then don't expect IOL's to remove that requirement.
The whole point of these lenses are that they preserve distance vision and give some degree of intermediate vision without any compromise. Your comments are 100% correct when talking about EDOF, multifocal or bifocal intraocular lenses but these lenses are good. As a clinician we never tell patients what is best for them, we simply give all the available information and then the patient makes an informed choice.
I am reading comments and very happy to see your intellegent answers. May God bless you healthy living and prosperity.
Sir,so much thanks. You have cleared doubts and increased my confidence. I am 75 and imature cataract in left eye. Till date I am not using glasses. Will this lens in one eye by operating cataract wiil be fine for me. Please suggest i am waiting for surgery.
To me you would be a dream doctor I have been diagnosed visually impered as I can not see close up and the distance is becoming less this is due to my lens , I also have double vision I aquate to strained vision and trying to focus and suffer major headaches the new thing from my eye doctor is an eye patch 🤷♀️🤦♀️ to stop double vision and this will make it harder to see and cause more problems , I just want some one to listen to me and help not that me like a child and an idiot because that's how I feel their my eyes and no one is helping just passing me of by saying let's put a plaster on it and it will be ok ,NO IT WONT it's not a cut knee , your a great doctor and keep inspiring ppl to find answers to the most important thing in their lives ,,,Vision 💙
how is the Auto Refractor with this iol ?
In modern world I would focus on intermediate distance and use glasses for distance and reading. If you have corrected intermediate means you need less strong glasses for distance and less strong for reading. you are in sweet spot. multifocal is trash. If you only use distance and phone than it's ok, bit if you want to enjoy bif screen pc and pig screen laptop you won't be satisfied
It's not good bcz in tecnis eyehans dark black colour look as dark navy blue and cooking gas loos publish not blue as normally ,green tree leaves look as bluish tinge green leaves why ?
I have astigmatism and cataract. I on planning on getting cataract surgery. I want lens that gives me the BEST night vision. I don't want to see halos or glares. What lens should I look at?
There is no real “best” lens. Nothing is as good as nature. Definitely do not go for a lens that has any rings on it. These are called diffractive multifocals. You will get glare with them at night but most people do adapt to them. Your best bet is a monofocal toric lens or a toric premium monofocal. There is never a guarantee I’m afraid that you will not get some visual issues (called dysphotopsia) with certain lighting conditions.
@@amaralwitry3684 Thank you for your reply. What is the difference between a monofocal toric lens and a toric premium monofocal? Thank you.
@@amaralwitry3684 Hello my dear doctor, if we use Eyhance Iol, is it necessary to use progressive (close to the middle) glasses? Or would just close range glasses be enough? I'm asking for situations where the lens is perfect at a distance.
Do iols take away all of your powers of accommodation?
Yes, 100%. They are fixed pieces of plastic and not flexible like the human eye. There's no accomodating implant lens that actually works in the market, no matter what anyone tells you.
Are you talking about surgical lens replacement or prescription eyeglasses?
With the Alcon Vivity EDOF there is a trade-off of more intermediate vision but some loss of contrast at night. Is it the same with the Eyhance?
Severly near sighted and still work at 2 computer screens all day. I needed the best vision I could get but if I could choose Id rather wear glasses to drive. He gave me a distance lens in the right eye amd near lens in the right. I can see well to drive but can also see computer perfectly and can read texts and books and NO GLASSES AT ALL. Oh and first doc said I couldn’t have IOL’s! Doc suggested Eyehance lenses and ♥️ my life!
So you got distance in 1 eye and near in the other ? Was it hard to adapt to the different visions? I just got the eyehance 3 weeks ago and I'm super unhappy with it. See great upclose but distance and intermediate is worse then before the surgery.
@@harwoodgzs have you got eyehance for near and intermediate ?
@@ZaraQadir97 yes I did...my recovery time was like 3 months. After the 3 months I had lasik done to fix my distance
@@harwoodgzs Hi Shaun. Did the lasik work? Same doctor? What did it cost? I may need it also.
@Doug Kyle Hi Doug! The lasik did work. Before any surgery, I was at 60/20 with eyeglasses on, and now I'm at 30/20, no glasses, but they said it still can improve more over the year. The IOL cost me 8000 CAD. The lasik was free, and yes, it was all with the same doctor. I hope this info helps, but if you have more questions, I'm happy to help.
nice video. very clearly stated. I am monocular and have had retinal detachment surgery (buckle) in my remaining eye. I have scheduled cataract surgery and must pick a lens. any suggestions for a unique patient who does not have the benefit of two eyes? I'm afraid to pick the wrong one bc I'm not a Dr and there is limited (none) information about monocular patients and these newer type lenses. I really want the Eyhance. I would like the Vivity as well but I'm hesitant due to the decrease in distance crispness
Do not try and be too clever with your lens choice. Definitely I would not recommend any sort of multi focal. A straight forward monofocal or premium monofocal is the way to go. I have no experience with the Vivity but it looks good. The lens companies always make the lenses sound amazing. It suckers us surgeons in too. I have been through many different types of lenses and abandoned some due to poor experiences ie not totally happy patients.
Why don't you reply?! My implants have left me with astigmatism in both eyes and optical express refuse to correct this! I now need multifocal lens glasses for both eyes!!! Really disappointed and £6000 down the drain!! I wish I'd never bothered
Really sorry to hear you’re struggling. What sort of intraocular lenses did you have?
@@amaralwitry3684 +22 D ICB00, +20D
@@juliehoskins9255 so it looks like they tried to leave one eye for distance and intermediate and the other for intermediate and near. Really disappointing that you haven’t found a benefit. I have had a patient like you and I cannot explain why it doesn’t work for everyone. If they’ve excluded wrong lens power, residual astigmatism, ocular surface problems like dryness and any problems at the back of the eye it is unlikely to improve.
I've heard that you would need glasses in some instances even with the trifocal lenses.You didn't mention that
Put two lenses into the eye?
I have been recommended ICB00 lens implants to correct my sight. Please can you tell me if there is any chance that my sight will deteriorate after the implants have been done? Will I still be affected by age degeneration? Would there be any fuzzy/non focussed areas or should the sight be perfect? Many thanks
I’m always cautious about “perfect” vision. There are so many factors that can mean your vision is not perfect without specs but usually with appropriate spectacle correction you can achieve perfect vision. We try, and massive emphasis on try, to get your vision perfect without specs but the calculations we do for lens powers are bot 100% accurate and the way your cornea responds and changes shape in response to our incisions. I think the ICB00 lens is great and most, again emphasis on most, patients do really well with it.
@@amaralwitry3684 what's the point of spending thousands of pounds for surgery to spectacle free if, you still need spectacles after surgery?
@@juliehoskins9255 It is difficult but it is impossible to guarantee. It’s an expensive business and the likelihood of being fine without specs is very high but some patients will be disappointed. The benefit of social media like this is it gives a voice to those that did not end up how we wanted them to. As an eye surgeon we do our best to give you spectacle independence. Happy you and happy us but it is not 100% predictable I’m afraid. Some of my patients have spent thousands with me and despite my best efforts still not ended up how I want them to. Frustrating for all involved.
@@juliehoskins9255 I had cataract surgery in my right eye in April. For the first two weeks I could read large print. I had never been able to previously with that eye. I have Fuch's Dystrophy and my cornea swelled. I'm going to have a cornea transplant and cataract surgery with the Eyhance lens on my left eye, and then hopefully a cornea transplant on the right eye.
@@juliehoskins9255 there's 0 guarantee of being spectacle free with any iol implant, especially with monofocal or minor EDOF's like eyhance. Every lens is a trade-off of some kind. A lot of the time the advertisements tell you what you gain, but they usually don't tell you what is the cost of that gain. There's always a cost.
This guy doesn’t respond to Sh#t. Just a sales pitch. POS
My doctor operated a cataract mill. I got the panoptic. Out of pocket. Both eyes. They totally up sold me. Aka lied 🤥. 60 years old. Astigmatism and lazy left eye. Said I would see perfect. Said I’d see perfect. 5k later. Cannot drive at night and STILL WEAR GLASSES. They should’ve told me exactly what you’ve said. Would have got the standard lens and wore reading glasses. All About The Money.
I'm sorry to hear that.I haven't found a single ophthalmologist who explains honestly the pros and cons of each lens
