My dad just had his 2nd eye done . And Alhamduliallah everything went well. I have seen the entire procedure. Really it's amazing how quick and easy they do it. May allah bless them all to give the light back to see the world again like a total new pair of eyes. Ameen . MASHALLAH for their work.
my mother having them dune today
Mashallah I'm so glad your father is doing better
I have just had my right eye done I am much better
Neither Allah nor Jesus give a rat's patoot about cataract surgery. Try to join up with us in the 21st Century.
I had cataract surgery done back in May of 2023 on both eyes and my vision improved to the point where I no longer need to wear glasses (been wearing them close to 50 yrs) or use readers... getting that surgery was one of the best decisions I ever made....
I guess you had monovision done, or monofocal lenses, since you don't need glasses.
Thanks, I'm programmed for the operation start of May, your comment, and others were reassuring.
@@pynn1000 There's seriously nothing to it...
My optometrist has been following the development of my cataracts at my annual eye exam for the past two years. Just recently my sight has taken a turn for the worse. I’m 76 years old so I guess it’s time to get the procedure. Thanks for you video👍
I scheduled for one in July Gods willing ,I'm so excited.
My parents have such anxiety… he has let the “worst” type of cataract be over ripe by 6+ years. Please pray for a successful surgery and outcome next week.
How did it go? I hope all is well.
My case with Dad today. His BP keeps spiking and we end up postponing😮.
I had both eyes done at the same time last September. It took about 45 minutes total. No problems at all. However, I now need glasses for reading, instead of driving. I'm 70.
I had my cataract surgery on 08/23 & 09/23 I had high anxiety for the first surgery but it was over so fast and it was no complications..
And for the second surgery I was like come on people lets do this cause I knew what to
expect..😂
Cataract surgery is so fast and easy and no complications with the second eye!!
Believe me I definitely don't like surgeries but my cataract surgery was awesome❤
I thank you all to the PROFESSIONAL STAFF at
Thomas eye group and AMAZING (Dr.Patel) in Newnan Ga🥰
And the PROFESSIONAL STAFF at
Piedmont OUTPATIENT CENTER❤
I feel so lucky. I finally had my eyes done. I have 20/20 VISION in both eyes. I am 62 and can now resume my Marksmanship. It is purely wonderful.
I had my cataract surgery 2 months ago. In 1 eye it troubles me a bit....in the morning it's dry for 5 minutes or so. It's not as
Clear until it wakes up. Etc etc.
I m having my other one done in 4days ..yes my vision has improved enormously.but it's not all a bed of roses.😊
Thank you!! Made the prospect of getting this surgery much easier to look forward to. I’ve been very anxious about it.
Hope your surgery went well. I was anxious too, and had surgery just last week. Operation was absolutely fine and the result was brilliant. Would much rather cataract surgery than almost any form of dentistry! That’s what I tell friends who ask, to help them get some perspective.
I just had cataract surgery one day ago on my right eye. When I woke up the first thing I noticed was I could read the screen near my bed in recovery. And when I got home I could see the tv very clearly. I’ve been nearsighted my entire life so I was so excited. My right eye was corrected to 20/25 . Ican’t wait for my left cataract to be removed. I’ll still have to wear glasses but I was in the minus 9.3 to 9.8. My glasses will be normal looking when my left eye is done and healed and normal looking with no hangover. I can’t wait.
Please I have cateract I need to go for operation too how much will it cost me
I have been living in Thailand for the last dozen years without any sort of major health problems. As a former native Californian and bay area resident, I was so glad to find this video as it answers many of the questions I had. No surgery yet but the doc here says I should do it soon. Thank you for this.
Had cataracts surgery 3 months ago, vision good now but eye pain still and everything is so blinding bright can only drive at night. Darkest sunglasses. Rant enough. I regret having it done.feels like I have sand in my eyes.
what does your doctor say about this?
WTF bro
I have to have cataract surgery at 80. I suffer extreme anxiety, have family, but live alone and fear this surgery worse then the plague and worry about having to be all with it.I am soooo sick over the fact that i cannot go to a rehab, even for a week.Iam hysterical over it.I know this is affecting my BP and afib too.I wish it was all behind me.Everyone i know was not alone ,except for me.
Maybe you can discuss if they can give you sedatives or general anaesthetic in rare cases. They won't send you home until you wake up and ready if you are from UK. They were all so kind to me.
I cannot have my cataract surgery yet until my dry eye is a little more under control to prevent infection. Iam on a dry
eye prescription med right now. I was put on Xanax , a tranquilizer, if needed temporarily for anxiety too.
Very similar in the UK. My follow up was 24 hours later by phone and then an exam about ten days later.
The eye does get sore and light-sensitive a few hours after the procedure but is usually much better after 24 hours.
Four weeks of eye drops. I was advised not to drive for at least 24 hours.
My mum had hers right eye done last week was blurry for 2 days but was able to see after that has to get her right eye done this week best of luck to h all
My experience was months of steroid eye drops. Which later caused dryness.
The lens was not a good prescription. Poor communication with Staff.
I'm scheduled for cataract surgery in 1 month time. Thanks for all of these.❤
Ho did it go?
How did it go?
Thank you for this, found you by chance on google. I learned more from you than my doctor or anyone in the office.!
Very clear explanation...
Great presentation.
I wonder what the routine protocol is for people with cataracts that have one single eye vision (blind in the non operating eye)
Thank you for this video , it certainly has relieved some of my anxiety!
Piece of cake , no problems, no pain feel nothing from table to home took twenty minutes 😊
How are your eyes now? Be honest.
Actually a good experience....no problems.
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
It's weird that patients are asked to choose their lens when they don't have enough knowledge to make a decision. It is what you can tolerate and how much money you can spend. I don't know why I am worried about the surgery when I don't have functional vision as it is.
How is eye held still? Is patient conscious?
Please please. If you have to have cataract surgery , please do not worry about the surgery itself. I am the worlds worst at panicking, the stress and anxiety I went through pre op was mad. I didn’t sleep. After it was done I felt like such a twat. It was a breeze. No pain at all. You don’t see anything neither. I’m due to have my other eye done soon. And I’m completely at ease with it. Don’t worry at all. It was so painless, I felt pretty silly afterwards
I had hundreds of floaters for 5 months one week after surgery
Sorry for the floaters
I have cataract surgery in the morning on my left eye, July 5, 2024.
Then on July 11, the right eye. Im a little nervous so Im watching some videos today.
I happened to just watch this video on cataract surgery and saw your comment. It is today July 5th. I hope it all went well for you. I'm getting my cataract removed this coming Tuesday and the second one a week later. I can't wait and I'm looking forward to it. My cataract was caused by a gas bubble that was put in my eye from a retinal tear and detachment surgery I had in March. So I'm looking forward to being able to see again. Good luck to you. The surgery should be a walk in the park compared to what I've been through.😂
@@melindaschulze8114 It went perfect! It took about 30 minutes and it was scary at first but it did not hurt. I felt some minor pressure at the end when the Dr adjusted my new lens. I was 98% blind and immediately after surgery had turbo 4K high definition vision. I get my right eye done on July 11th. This surgery is well worth it.
You're giving enough information and very interesting
My experience was horrible, I lost most of my vision, and lost job
Sorry for your loss.
Im scheduled for my first eye surgery. Im so nervous I'm loosing sleep over this. So many side affects.
Standard lense implants are recommended for both eyes two weeks apart.
Lord God Almighty !
Its my eyes, am i going to ruin them thinking ive it will get better? Any advice?
Can this surgery affect ones brain.
Hello doctor
I know you uploaded this video 9 month ego and may be you dont notice my this comment
But seriously i your attention to this case . Actually my sister's daughter is suffering from glaucoma .she is 8 year old . She want to study but see can't because she is semi blind.
We spend a lot of money for her treatment but don't see any progress on her .
I feel doctors were not doing their duties properly .
What should we do for it please suggest me ?
Please help ous , please help ous .
After the surgery when you come home do you feel any pain after your cataracts remove?
What is the incidence of PCO, and is it different depending on the IOL choice e.g. EDOF lens replacement?
amazing excellent results !
So I had surgery for a Detached Retina 3 Years ago. I may have developed Cataracts after this. Has that happened to anyone else?
Yes. I had retina surgery and a sclera buckle put around my eye 3 years ago. Now I have a cataract in that eye. They are recommending this surgery and I’m scheduled in about 3 weeks. I’m not sure if I’ll go through with it or not. What’s your story?
@@ThePelicans44 Thank you. My left eye is still very blurry. I could probably live with it, but it is frustrating sometimes. I almost feel out of balance even though my right eye is dominant.
Thank you so much dra.
Yes, 2 years after Cataract surgery I got the PCO.. Medicare Advantage gave me a hard time and was denied service at my appointment. Still waiting...
I will be having my cataract surgery at the end of the yr..ist on my rt eye and then maybe after recovery on the left eye my eyes are ok but i was diagnose with age related macular degeneration .lm laking lutien with zeaxanthin once a day so far its ok i have diabetes for 13 yrs already ..will that effect my surgery on the eye ..lm already 74 yrs old
You need to explain all the complications that can happen.
Very informative. Thank you!
I done my surgery yesterday lens was monofocal after surgery and recovery I got very bad headache I told the Dr. he said is normal my sclera was blood after few hours it get even worse he said all is normal I had the feeling if something is in my eyes like stitch or few eyelashes in my eyes!! Today will go to hospital to check up... He told me probably need glasses - 0،5... Now I read here some people has 20/20!! Can anyone tell me was it your experience the same? My eye sight was not good yesterday but today is better... I rather to be done by Lazer I asked my Dr. He didn't answered me which made me upset!! When I went to operation room didn't see Lazer machine... In country now I live Dr. don't communicate try to just do their operation!
I’ve had mine done months ago unfortunately I still find myself having to use drops, since they haven’t worked I’m becoming increasingly concerned.
How’s it going now? Is your vision okay? Does the eye droop? Floaters?
I had cataract surgery on my right eye two weeks ago and immediately I could see clearer, and much better but then a week later I had the left eye done and immediately I noticed I was having problems seeing close-up, I never had problems before. Should I let the surgeon know
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Thank you, had my surgery yesterday. Your video was reassuring
How is your vision after it?
@@akrxmm hi there thank you. Only had left eye done as nothing can be done for right eye which has been lazy since birth. It’s been 4 days now since surgery. Using the drops supplied 4 times a day for next 24 days (hope don’t run out). My eye is a little sore and slightly bloodshot. The good news is that I don’t have to wear my contact lens again (after 62year). My vision in my left eye is now 20/20. Will have to get glasses for close up reading. Really relaxed after viewing the video and overall pleased with result.
@@peterreader5508 that’s amazing to hear, I need to get my left eye done because I got injured and it caused a traumatic cataract, so your comment reassured me
@@akrxmm best of luck you will not regret it. Wish I had had mine done earlier. Let me know how you get on.
Mine was done today,left eye and pleased to read your positive comments.Thanks.
I recently had cataract surgery on one eye and now have negative disphotopsia. I am told by ophthalmologist that it will go away. By the optometrist that I will get used to it. However, reading online it appears it does not resolve on its own. Any comments?
Damn. How are you doing? How is it now?
I need this I’m 59 , I dread it , it’s just how I am
My dad attempted to have cataract surgery, but they claim his eye is to active, is this normal? I asked my dad what the problem was, and he told me that what they put in his eye was burning like crazy.
what did you do if you got the upper mid grade cataract surgery done and when you went in the doctor slipped even though the nurses and the patient was trying to tell her that they needed a second because they were going to cough I guess she didn't see or hear anyoneI figured it was going to be okay because I always think on the positive side of things but now I have a grayish-white blue spot in my eye underneath the cataract and I can't seem to see out of that I what did you do then and I'm not going to complain really but the spot seems to be getting bigger and I'm already scared
Didn't need any glasses! Had to have the laser that tool all of 2 mins to fix.
I accidentally bumped my eye about three days after surgery. My eye began to leak and pressure dropped from 14 to 2. Dr closed it with stitches a week after the first surgery. I’m now three days post second procedure. My sight is worse than before the first surgery and have pain where the stitches are. I wish I had never had the surgery.
Oh my I’m sorry. How are you doing now?
@@chanelv5373 thank you for asking. The eye pressure is back to normal. There is no discomfort. I learned the surgeon placed a corrective lens that allows me to read. He never explained this before the surgery. So I’m near sighted in one eye and farsighted in the other. It’s almost three months post surgery and I cannot get used to it. My eyes are always competing to focus on things both far and near. So I had to get glasses with progressive lenses.
Thank you for the update. I’m glad your eye pressure is back to normal. I watched another YT channel Dr.Michael Chua has out and he talked about the different lenses in each eye. He said before surgery he ensures the patient can accommodate the different lenses by fitting them with contacts first. This will help to determine if it’s a good fit for the patient. I’m sorry you weren’t even told about your surgeon implanting the different lenses until it’s too late but glad you can fix the issues with glasses. I am getting ready to have cataract surgery and I appreciate you being honest about your experience. Wishing you continued healthy sight.
@@yellowbird500 What a cluster
Dr. Thank you.
I had cataract surgery 3 years ago but unfortunately was not successful.
Is it possible to undergo surgery once again ?
Kindly advise.
@@cthompson8509 Dr. sir ! Thank u.
I will try but perhaps may not be able to explain.
I been to hospital. Eye specialist advised cataract surgery. But
he insisted to have left eye first.
My eyesight in left eye was very low from my childhood, perhaps +2.
In my opinion it was beyond repair.
Since Dr. was confident, I agreed.
He operated . No improvement as I expected. I paid 7 to 8 visits.
2nd last visit , he was on leave. Another is Dr. examined but he didn't say. He told me to visit the surgeon only. I was now worried.
On 8th (last) visit, he put me on a machine for around 10 minutes. Said , he has cleaned my eye with 2 degree more improved.
Kindly read my second submission below..
@@cthompson8509 Sir ! I took your time. I am so sorry.
I had never any problem from childhood despite that my left eye was nearly black-out.
But now, both the eyes were not levelled/synchronized/configured.
A rainbow with so many lines appearing from left eye. So many times while driving, I was close to accident.
Sir! now at last, 26 days ago, I had the surgery on my Right -side -eye.(previous was the Left side) .
The world has become brighter now
But problem still exists with left eye.
Same rainbows & lines. While driving first time after 26 days, last night, I had a same problem.
@@cthompson8509 I would've been more happy & relaxed if you had told me in the first place that you r not a doctor. Someone should not feel ashamed if she is a woman.
I am so sorry but please let me know the last words u wrote i e girl BTW.
@@cthompson8509 It's ok , thus concludes the discussion.
Wish u all the best.
U didn't tell me the meaning of BTW !
@@cthompson8509 pl don't mind my ignorance. I am semi literate & English isn't my native language.
One more word , the last but not the least ie ' lol ' ?
I had cataract surgery two weeks ago on my left eye. My distance vision is much better than before, but it was blurry immediately after surgery and that has not changed.
My near vision in my left eye is now perfect. I can read the smallest words on my iPhone.
Is it possible my doctor accidentally implanted a near vision lens instead of the distance vision lens I had chosen
I work as a Deputy Sheriff and there is a potentional that I will deal with someone violent on a daily basis! Im scheduled for surgery in two weeks and II'm wondering when I can be 100 percent certain I'm not risking damaging the surgery! I have considerable leave and can take as much leave as needed but my question is how long should I take? I really do not want to take any chances!
My wife is 65 Years old and she had Cataracts removed in 2019 she sees better but everyday she gets eye boogers like long strings in both of her eyes I have to remove several times a day with Cutips the Optomolgist said it's normal and told us to use Patady eye drops which is over the counter. I have bought her about every type of eye drops we could find and everyday it's the same old thing. she said it feels like several Eyelashes in her eyes everyday and it's painful. I sure hope you don't go through that.
Cataract surgery didn’t go well! I’m almost blind!
Hi doc, Which refractive surgery should I choose ,tPRK , Lasik, or Smile, to best avoid difficulties in future cataract surgery? I have high myopia (-10.0 D) and is currently planning to have Smartpulse tPRK but worry if it will make my cornea too weak for future cataract surgery. Please give me some advice. thanks
Take moringa leaves. SHADE dry them.for .7 days and then powderise. Take 1 teaspoon and add boiling water and steep for 30 min. Drink 2-3 times daily. Also, use this tea as eye drops 3-5 times a day. You'll see the Magic! GOD'S AMAZING Magic! But the leaves MUST be shade dried, not sundried and not boiled. Dont thank me, thank God 🙏💥
Dysphotopsia is what to expect after this surgery
Hi just had my one eye done… Had no problem at all.. Drops are really annoying lol… but needed. My second eye in two weeks.. Have no anxiety second time around..
Can that surgery treat congenital cataract?
I have a long standing hospital phobia. Can they knock me out to do it ?
Yep. You can request to be under General Anaesthesia. Just did mine fully concious justnow lmao relax you wont feel a thing
I wonder how this new artificial lens interacts with muscles of the eye to focus? Do the muscles attach to new lens to focus?
No
Neeti, that’s just what I needed! Thanks.
Drops? Not anymore.
It safe. a laser or surgery?
Have both eyes done on the same day????Madness! I have dark fog, can't make much out. Relying entirely on the other eye. I have been told all is A OK!
Get a cane
How serious is it when you’re told you have fluid in one of your eyes A week or so after surgery???
Do they put a lens in your eyes first so you can tell what the outcome will be?
😂done December 22.2022.after surgery everything done as per direction of docter, but after some days a plain begame seriously docter advised to stop Travo z as I am undergone Glucoma treatment. Now ipain stoped but now a days I am seeing some yellow bubbles in the atmosphere at night wat is it and what treatment.
No one mentioned eye ‘stroke’….
Can you elaborate? Did eye stroke cause cataracts?
First ❤of all you can do it! 80? You're the last generation with grit. Make sure you have painkillerss easily to hand. You won't be given painkillers (because no one has pain, 1st lie!) Don't worry about pain, you can handle it easily. Remember they take about 20 -30 minutes to kick. Don't be like me and wait for it the pain to go off naturally, it doesn't. You had better tell the dr/nurses dealing with you about the painkillers before you go home!
The next day, don't worry if people have said that they can see flowers on a tree a mile away, 2nd lie. You will be lucky if you can see more than a grey fog. People don't mean to lie but they do exaggerate! Practical advice. Make up enough meals and freeze them. Eggs, bread, milk whatever is your staple get in enough to last a week. Get enough clothes organised and to hand, move stuff out of the way so you don't trip over it. Have water by the bed, organise your pills you usually take by the day, carefully so no stressing about taking the wrong one when you can't see well. Make sure your phone, tablet ect is charged up and in a place where you don't have to bend over. You mustn't bend over. I put a scarf around my neck to remind me! Unless you are Diabetic or something, a bag of jelly fruits is a nice treat to have in the bedside drawer. Don't panic, just think of what else you might need? Were you in the Guides or Scouts? You know the motto "Be Prepared" and you will get through this like a knife through butter. You are prepared...they know what they are doing.... what can go wrong? So chin up!
I'm thinking that if this foggy eye doesn't improve, I'll buy a Parrot and get a wooden leg fitted, get it? Change of Career!!! I am joking, in case you don't know British Humour!!! Good Luck!
How about massive floaters that don’t go away!
How successful is cataract surgery for someone who's waited about 12 years to do it? I guess I was scared and now my vision has gotten more white recently in the last 5 days, very hard to see much of anything I feel like there was some sort of a hemorrhage cuz I can close my eyes and see read all inside my eye but the field division is the same. Some days it is a little sharper and other days very cloudy and blurry. I'm seeing an eye doctor soon but I'm worried I waited too long what do you think?
hello how are you now?
@@pleaseshare8891i’m doing good if you want to ask me
You forgot to mention that one should not sleep on the side of where surgery occurred….
Please talk slowly, not everyone understand the terminology of medical.
It is just like a 25 watt light bulb and replaced with a 100 watt bulb.
Assalamualaikum
Tomorrow is my cataract surgery
How did it go I have to have it anything to look for
The thumbnail picture is NOT what cataract surgery looks like. Weak.
Had it at 69, 20/20 one eye 20/25 the other, but you lose your up close vision. The things they don't tell you, most of us have been wearing glasses since we were kids, glasses protect your eyes from all manner of foreign agents, like bacon grease, the weed eater, the list goes on and on. I learned the hard way. Also you lose vision and depth perception up close, was working on staked peppers in the garden and ran a stake in my eye I had no idea it was there. Wore hard contacts when I was a kid, so I was preconditioned, you're gonna know they're there.
You can get lenses that will correct long distance and well as closeup vision but you have to pay out-of-pocket because Medicare doesn't cover them because they are considered "cosmetic." I chose the mono focal lenses because I needed my long-distance vision to drive and it's the only lense Medicare covers. I've worn glasses since seventh grade (I'm in my mid 70s) so wearing glasses to read isn't a problem. I have my left eye done April 3, 2024, and my right eye done on April 10. Left eye is 20/20 and right eye is still a little blurry from surgery (3 days ago). I had dry eye before cataract surgery so if dry eye is a result of cataract surgery, I won't know the difference since I already had dry eye issues. The testing for cataracts took more time that the surgery, I am very pleased with my results thus far.
