I was so inspired by Dr. Wang's story in Sight. I am 1 month away from my first cataract surgery, and your advice is so important to me...trust in the experience, knowledge, and skill in my doctor, plus referrals, have made all the difference. Thank you for this interview!
you're welcome
@BetterKateThanEver I agree 100%. I have not yet set a date, but I have had the diagnosis and am now reading and viewing all I can on the condition, procedure and options. Dr. Wang's advice has re-directed my focus, which was on the type of surgery and lens. Before finally deciding on the surgeon, I am going to do my due diligence in getting to know who will be 'taking my vision into his/her hands'. Good luck! I hope to have mine done {only one eye affected, but with a dense clouding} before the end of the year! 👍
Appreciate your content
Thank you
What an informative video. I agree that gathering information about your surgeon is very important but...where do you find it? I am five weeks out from having cataract surgery, a PanOptix trifocal lens was implanted in my right eye...Now my vision is WORSE THAN BEFORE the surgery! My distance and mid vision is very blurry/foggy/hazzy...although my reading (near) distance has improved a BIT. The surgeon is now suggesting that I undergo Lasik to correct the issue. I don't understand why! Is it because I had more of an astigmatism than the measurements picked up? Was the prescription for the lens miscalculated? Should I get a second opinion? Should the PanOptix lens be removed and replaced with a different type? Is Lasik the only answer? What about PRK or SMILE options? I've heard that the biggest complaint with the PanOptix lenses are the arcs/halos...that's the least of my concern at this point. I am grateful that I cancelled the surgery on my left eye or I wouldn't be able to drive. I am at a loss on how to move forward or what to do. I regret even having it done and certainly not keen on having my left cataract attended to. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and helping people gain the knowledge required before they undergo any eye surgery!
Most people have to go for the manual surgery and not the laser; since insurance and Medicare only cover manual w/standard lenses in the USA.
You do what you feel is best for your situation. You know best. As long as you know the options and their consequences.
@@doctorilancohen That sounds like, if you can't afford it, tough.
Medicare and commercial insurance do not cover laser cataract surgery (femtosecond laser cataract surgery).
Correct. Those are out of pocket.
You had the most common mistake in cataract surgery, I was thinking what the mistake was during surgery
Good Doctor
I found your video to be very informative. I am most likely due 20:54 for cataract surgery and I am leaning towards laser.
Great
I have read that laser costs more.
Dear sir, some studies claim that if the surgery of posterior polar cataract is done using FLACS, it creates a cleavage plane between posterior capsule and epinucleus which facilities safer removal of epinucleus without rupturing the posterior capsule. Is it true ?
Yes, I do understand the argument. but I think there are much better techniques for managing a posterior polar Cataract other than using FLACS.
What is more important is the surgeons experience not which method they will be using.
@@doctorilancohen thank you sir
