I noticed that this lens is only suitable for people with minimal astigmatism, what would you consider to be the maximum level of astigmatism to be considered to be suitable for this lens?
Great and informative video. I am looking at having surgery once i get the money up and this type of information will help me make the best decision for my eyes.
Oh well, I got astigmatism. Not sure which lens is best for me. Cannot make a decision. Don’t want to experience low contrast and a lot of halos, poor vision in the dark, also worried the iPhone screen will glow at night. And also I heard that the lenses don’t protect for UV light and give a slight bluish colouring, not sure what they actually mean by cold colouring.
@@DoctorKrad Thank you for your reply, is this because there is no "dedicated" intermediate lens but this part being sort of a mixture of the edge parts of the near and far distance lenses?
@@DoctorKrad Again, thank you, I would be very interested in seeing more patient testimonials of this lens and am also very interested in the performance of this lens in lower light situations, i.e. is the contrast any different\better than trifocal lenses..
Dr Krad . My doctor recommended Clearview 3 for my cataract surgery. But I'm the type person that halos, glare, any abnormality will drive me crazy. I need glasses now for both near and far vision. Can you give me a comparison of the Clearview to the 'basic' mono lens?
Thanks for the video but how is one's vision in the mid range (eg. A computer monitor beyond arms' length).. they aren't as good for that as trifocals?
From what I've seen it is very similar. I had one patient recently who didn't like his intermediate range vision after his first Clearview 3 implant. After implanting his second Clearview 3 with the same refractive target of Plano, he said that far, intermediate, and near were all good. I'm sure it varies from patient to patient
Now test him at 9, 8, 7, 6 ,5, 4, 3 ,2ft then 18,16,14,12,10, 9,8,7,6,5,4 inches. Because thats what everyone needs to get by, but no one tests those distances
Most likely yes, but we would need to measure the curvature of your cornea and the length of your eyeball to make sure the lens is manufactured in the strength you need.
Thank you Doctor! I have been a monovision guy for a long time and my distance eye is getting the cataract removed and I'm trying to determine my best option. I don't know yet what my doctor even offers. An odd thing is that I have astigmatism in that eye as well, but I don't correct for it with the contact, so that is another discussion I have to have. Until learning about the Clearview the Panoptix seemed the best choice, offset for less near vision clarity. @@DoctorKrad
@@N4Racing Best of luck to you! FYI, in Q1 of 2024, the LAL Plus (LAL+) is coming out. It will have about a line and a half better reading vision than the current LAL. If you've tolerated some mono-vision in the past, definitely check out that lens before having surgery :)
Clearview will usually give better near vision than both Symfony or Vivity. Clearview is a very new lens, However I think the far vision is slightly better with Symfony and Vivity in most people. Clearview also doesn't correct astigmatism while both Vivity and Symfony can.
thanks for this informative video... although I was interested in the clearview 3 but since the distance is not good then I would rather go for monofocal lenght.... I'm nearsighted so I can see close clearly... but my issue my left eye has catract which now I planning to have a surgey.... do you have any recommendations ? my left eye is -1.8 and no astigmatism
Thanks for reviewing Lenstec Clearview 3. Now I’ve a clearer picture of the cons.
@bslaldic what r the cons
How about the lights at the nights while driving?

Can someone change the old license with new one ?!!

What would be the pros and cons of this lens versus the LAL (light adjustable lens) including pricing differences. Thanks!
I’ve seen prices for LALs at an extra $2K per eye compared to other IOLs probably because of the extra follow up visits for adjustments.
Do you have any concerns with the lens being hydrophilic vs hydrophobic?
What’s the longest you have known it to take for a monofocal negative dysphotopsia to “go away”?
How does the intermediate vision of the ClearView compare to the intermediate vision of a "normal" trifocal lens?
It is comparable. Achieving 20/20 intermediate distance vision is common, but not universal
@@DoctorKrad Thank you for your reply, is this because there is no "dedicated" intermediate lens but this part being sort of a mixture of the edge parts of the near and far distance lenses?
@@garywiddison7988Yes it's due to the transition zone

Hello Dr. Krad. Mild astigmatism of .5. LASIK 20 years ago with mild Fuchs in one eye. Eligible for the Clearview?

My contact lenses prescription is +7.50. Am I a candidate for this type of IOL. I have no astigmatism
Most likely yes, but we would need to measure the curvature of your cornea and the length of your eyeball to make sure the lens is manufactured in the strength you need.
How does the starburst / halo from the Clearview compare to other multi-focals, like the Symphany, Synergy, or Panoptic?
Complaints of dysphotopsias such as halos/starbursts with Clearview are overall significantly less than lenses such as Symfony/Synergy/Panoptix

Thank you, I will definitely check them out. Maybe you can do a video about them when you get a chance? 🙂@@DoctorKrad

My doctor said Clearview does not make lenses for highly myopic people.
The diopter range available is limited, and often unavailable for very high myopes
My iris is 6 mm. Would this work?
That’s a nice pupil size! I avoid the Clearview when the pupil is too small (~3mm or less) or if there is significant astigmatism
is it better than symfony optiblue or vivity, doc?

How can u say that distance is not good @mo2008di
@@aurovindsahoo i meant my distance vision is poor ..that’s why I want to have monovision with one eye that can have perfect distance vision
How can you tell that from where you got this info ,what about clarity @Mo2008di you are from India?????
What about ic8 apethera lens @Mo2008di is it correcting far near and intermediate with clarity?????
What about symphony optiblue
