Finally a doctor with layperson conversational skills and a great way of explaining the process. Thank you!!!
Excellent video. This should be mandatory viewing for anyone considering cataract surgery. Good way to ease a lot of peoples anxiety, including my own. Thank you.
How I wish every doctor spoke like Dr. Wong! He is obviously friendly and compassionate with a twinkle of humor in his eyes. I am very grateful for this video as I am possibly facing cataract surgery.
I'm having cataract surgery shortly, so I really appreciate your information.
I just had refractive lens replacement on my right eye yesterday. The Lens is a PanOptix Multifocal lens. Yesterday everything was very blurry and my eyes were still dilated a lot. Today my vision was 20/20 with my follow up, but still blurry. As the day went on, my vision has gotten better. Right now my vision is around 95% clear - I can see everything but still a bit blurry. Zero pain, eyes are not dry, no itching, and procedure was painless. I am going in next week for my left eye. With the PanOptix I can see close, mid, and far with no more glasses - ever. So far I am very happy. When my vision clears up I will be so happy! Thanks for all of your amazing videos - they have helped so much!

But they are expensive. Right
What about at night the dr said it will h
@@chunwong1116 I had the Clareon PanOptix Multifocal done 2 days ago in my right eye. I have some minor halos from headlights and stoplights but they are symmetrical/cool/neat looking like something in a video game🙂
If I may ask: Would you be able to explain how the PanOptix Multifocal lens works and what advantage does it offer?
Finally 2 very personal questions: At what age did you undergo surgery, what was the cost (I assume $US)?
I am about to commence my journey of testing and having cataract surgery - LASIK served a purpose for 18 years achieving quite successfully mono vision (takes time and patience to reprogram the brain for acceptance). I am looking (pun unintended) at all possible options for improved vision and maybe stereo vision.
I had cataract surgery one month ago with one eye and two weeks with the other. The surgery went well. I can now see without glasses. Dryness is a concern. My complaint is the lack of communication and information concerning the aftercare. I learned more from your video than what I received.
Absolutely
Ll
Me too!
I just had it 6 days ago and I can see the edge of the lens at times during the day, I hope this normal..
@@JackSquat336how is everything going now?
Brother, you covered everything clearly and meticulously, with perfect graphics, charts, and charismatic scenes: pull-ups, sitting as a patient in chair, and your black & white avatar looks like a boxer about to fight. Excellent coverage of everything. I just watched some of your vids because I’m going to need the cataract surgery, at 66 now.
I love doctors like this that makes you feel good and calm about surgery. Very good bed side manner. Your encouraging words help so many.
You explained all the expectancy after cataract surgery better than other surgeons!
I live in the UK, and last May had cataracts removed plus lens implanted on the NHS. After wearing glasses for chronic short-sightedness for fifty+ years, I have better sight than ever, and only use glasses for reading. The painless procedure took two hours, and after tea and biscuits went home wearing eye shields, removed the next day. I used eye drops for four weeks. Funny that clothes bought in recent years aren't the colour I thought they were!
Thank you Dr. Wong. I was scared and anxious before my cataract surgery. After watching your video my fears were greatly reduced. Although I went to a different doctor the procedures were almost exactly as you described. My anxiety levels were way down thanks to you. I really appreciate your excellent videos.

I wish I would have seen this before I had my cataract surgery two days ago. The instructions I was given along with the written papers or somewhat confusing but this was so clear and to the point I think this video should be shown in every waiting room so that patients get the straight information and they get it clearly. If you go in and have your cataract removed and you have any kind of problem like mine was then you're not feeling so great when you come out and you're not listening to everything that's been told to you but you because you've got a little pain going on there.
This was phenomenal thank you
Exactly right on had mine done now so many problems, headaches, pressure behind eyes, see lenses all the time. They are just making money its a cataract factory, don't be fooled they don't tell you any of the bad things that can happen to you. Don't do it it's a scam
Bromfensc cause bleeding ?
Natrium diclofenac cause stomag bleeding
I had cataract surgery 6 days ago. Dr. Wong has been so informative about the do's and don'ts after surgery.
Wish I saw this video before my first eye was done, you cover the concerns I had at my 1 week check. finally eye is getting less blurry and able to see more each day. Getting ready for right eye on April 9,2024, less concerned for 2 nd eye.
Thank for this.I wish I had watched this earlier.Recovering from cataract surgery done yesterday but was not given any pre operation teaching and post care.I am learning everything now.
Hi hi, I was born with cataracts and finally got the cataract in my right eye removed after 24 years. I was so scared but the surgery was so quick and easy and I haven’t felt any pain! But WOWOWOW for the first time in my life I can see COLOR!! Blues and reds are very impressive. My vision is so much clearer than it has ever been. I’m super happy and can’t wait to get my other eye done now!
Same here
How can you read with or without eye glasses?and which brand they install in your eyes I cannot read with the cataract removed eye I still use the nonn operated eye even I can see a little
Praise GOD ‼️
Thanks very much
I had RLE (refractive lens exchange) two weeks ago. This surgery was to correct my vision & now I will never get cataracts. Best surgery ever! I can see the smallest print now…no more reader glasses! I’m thrilled with my outcome & have told everyone about it.
Thanks a million for this video! I have been terrified of having cataract surgery and have put it off for 3 years. Thank you for speaking in everyday terms so we understand ! This is a MUST WATCH VIDEO!
I'm having cataract surgery early tomorrow and by watching your videos makes me understand the process and makes me more comfortable, thank you Dr. Wong!
Make sure they put the correct lens in.
how did it go?
I worked with eye doctors 42 years. My main job was surgery prep/paperwork. Thanks for showing how to put drops in. Can't tell you how many patients try to do it like in commercials. (Head back, not pulling lower lid, not bracing hand on face) Then they complain that there's not enough drops in the bottle. I won't give any free samples if they don't listen to directions. We used pred forteQID, vigamox TID, and Lotemax QID. Keeping the schedule straight was difficult for them! Anyway, thanks for the informative video in "people talk", not medical jargon.
Thank you. I'm having lens replacement surgery tomorrow for my left eye. After watching your video, i'm not feeling anxiety about the surgery. And know what to expect during and after the surgery. Your video is super useful and how it was delivered so calmly allaying fears of the patient is just awesome. Thanks a lot.😀
I've just had cataract surgery in the UK and found your videos very helpful. Thanks for posting them.
Dear Dr. Wong, I had laser cataract surgery in Canada four days ago. Although I was given instructions about the things I could and could not do, your video clarified so many things for me and reassured me in so many ways. I was grateful to find you on youtube and have watched your video twice now. Thank you so much for your clear and concise language and direction and descriptions.
Oh My, Gosh!!!!
I just had my 2nd surgery and Dr Wong you were awesome. I will share this with my sister and friend, who are skeptical about having cataract surgery. Thank You 🙌🏽👏🏾🙌🏽👏🏾🙌🏽
I just learned that between the first and the second surgery it is OK to use a contact lens in the non operative eye.
هذا الطّبيب يشرح بهدوء ..لا أتقِن اللغة الإنجليزية لكن افهم مجمل كلامه ..
شكرا ..👍
Thank you so much for this. I am a 58 year old female, live in South Africa and have cataracts in both eyes, the right much worse than the left. I have to go through our State hospital for surgery and have been told that my surgery is only scheduled for next year, September 2023, because of the fact that Covid put a spanner in the works for operations and only the most urgent are currently being done. I am so glad that I have seen your video and now know what to expect before and after, because I am pretty sure that I will not be told even half of what you have spoken about. The opthalmologist even said that they inject local anaesthetic into the lower eye, and don't use anaesthetic drops. And I probably won't be given even half the care and information that you provide.
I’m ex sa living in nz just had surgery had only local I wish I had watched this video first
So very helpful to have such a clear step-by-step explanation - answered all my questions!
Described in pin point accuracy. Brilliant!
You are so articulate and thorough. Thank you!
Yes, thank you for explaining all aspects of the surgery, the medication, what to expect and how to wear the eye shield. Your expertise and detailed explanations are much appreciated.
Thank you for this video, Dr. Wong. I had my frist cataract surgery yesterday and had a good result on my followup, but I've had many questions about exactly how important the precautions were. You've clarified that greatly, and I feel much better now.
Just had my right eye done by Dr Chan here in Perth, Australia. Amazing care and professionalism. The day after surgery, my sight is laser sharp. Cannot wait to get left eye done in 2 weeks.
Where did you have this procedure done
What a great straight forward video. Just discovered that my cataracts are starting to affect my vision. I know now that I'm a candidate for the surgery. This video helped take the edge off that future experience.
I had my right eye done a few days ago and I'm already very impressed with the difference. The procedure was easy with little discomfort. They can sedate you if you like, but I didn't need it.
Clear cut and comprehensive information about the cataract surgery- thank you.
Excellent presentation and explanation of cataract surgery. I have had cataract surgery on the left eye thus far. Hope all goes well from this point.
I'm a candidate for cataract surgery. Your video was so informative and helpful! Thank you!
Expert, crystal-clear communication covering the many concerns patients experience - definitely spoken by someone quite experienced in hearing patients' concerns/questions. Thanks so much for covering so many patient concerns so concisely and with an obvious level of compassion for the worried patient so dependent upon vision for daily life.
Great Job!! To the point and you covered just about everything and every question that I could think of. Thank you...
Great crystal clear information about the Cataract surgery. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
Thank you Dr. Wong. You took a lot of stress away for me. I’m having my first eye done September 1st. Your explanation was awesome. Thank you.
Thank u Dr Wong for your informative explanation. You lessen my anxiety. Is it possible that we see again after surgery as its already in bad state
Highly educative,very very well explained Seven Stars from my side and sincere gratitude for putting up this video,
Thank you Dr . Wong I am now clear about my post op care . The eye drop demo was great. I feel much better about my up coming surgery. Thanks
What a wonderful, compassionate doctor who explains everything you need to know and want to know about the cataract surgery experience in layperson terms. Much appreciated Dr. Wong. 😊👍
thank you so much, Today after my surgery the nurse gave me an eye patch with no tape and did not explain how to put it on my eye. Your explanations are perfect. Very well done.
Wow… I just had cataract surgery on one eye.. my surgeon very cautious (not mad about that), but this video really answered questions I forget to ask my own dr. Thank you!!
i like this doctor i wish all doctors are like him ,,,experienced and calm ....and instructive,,,,
I'm very happy to say that my first cataract surgery, done yesterday (Sept. 16, 2022), went very smoothly---and the ophthalmic surgeon, because he's servicing an area that isn't known for wealth, charges only $1,475 per eye, of which 80% is covered by my primary health insurance, and then some of it by my secondary insurance.
Next surgery is in two months, and I'm looking forward to having full, clear vision once again, without having had to break the bank.
How are you now?
thank s0 must for your health and blessings xxx
This is very very helpful for all clients. Thank you Doc for your great service!
You explain everything so well and simply so lay people can understand without the medical jargon. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule for us.
I really appreciated your professionalism and all the details you shared
Thank you for a very clear explanation of Pre & Post op care.
I am having my glaucoma (GATT) and cataract surgery next week, and this video gave me good idea on what to expect. I just wish my doctor were like you!
Hi.. can you give me your feedbck with lens that you choose.. my mom is having same problm , still think which lens to choose
Awesome..You covered everything..Well explained..Crystal clear..Thank you Doc..
Thank you so much for being so informative I am about to have the surgery in a few weeks and hearing what you said has made me less nervous. God bless.
Wow! Crystal clear explanation. Good job, Thanks!
Fantastic person to person presentation. I believe and trust this Dr.
I went with monofocal lens. Night driving (age 72) good dim light vision and great contrast and distance sharpness was more important to me than getting rid of readers. There are negatives to all multi-focal lenses.
But are you doing good with the astigmatism if you have? Are you having reading glasses. Thank you
@@bambinitoable I don't have astigmatism. I do use reading glasses but that doesn't bother me. I wanted the sharpest distance vision and contrast.
This is so informative, wish I would have seen this before my procedure.
Thanks so much for sharing this video Dr. Wong. Your video is very thorough, detailed and calming. I'm scheduled for cataract surgery in March. I live in Hawaii and have an excellent surgeon.
Thank you, Dr Wong, for explaining things so well. Thank you for the excellent demonstration and explanation to putting in eye drops, especially things I had wondered. I have had my first cataract done by an excellent medical team here in Australia 4 days ago.

Easy and quick procedure,nothing at all to worry about.
Okay, so this is probably one of the best videos I have seen. Very comprehensive, easy to understand and answered all of my questions. Perfect.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm have surgery in about a week for cardiac. I've watched 2 of your videos. It explains a lot and I feel so much better about having it done. 😊 ❤❤❤❤ Thanks.
I'm in another state and not ready for surgery yet, but I really do feel so very informed about the entire process just from your video. I'm grateful that you did this!
Thank you very much for this video. I've just been told I need cataract surgery on both eyes so I was nervous. This was so comprehensive it helps a lot.
Have been a nurse well over 40 years. This is absolutely excellent! I have sent the link to myself to listen again.
Thank you Dr. Wong! That was a very simple and precise presentation.
What a wonderful presentation!! Excellent!! I wish you were my doctor!! Such a calming professional talk!
Well done, professional presentation with a personal touch thank you & keep up the good work
Thank you for answering all my questions. This was a brilliant presentation. I really appreciate it!
Thanks Dr . Excellent explaining, I just got my surgery over month ago , now I can see clear ❤️🙏🏻
I wish my ophthalmologist had been this thorough. Thank you.
Hi Doc. Just the right time you posted - as my mother in Malaysia may be going for a cataract surgery for one of her eyes. I am posting this from South Florida. Can you also post on what questions to ask the eye surgeon?. Thank you Doc. One point I would like to highlight, to get your site popular you need to start adding tags #. Whosoever helping you post your videos on CZcams please mention this to them. You have wealth of information in this clip.
Big difference from how cataract surgery was many years ago. I had a friend who had cataract surgery in the early '70s and she had to stay in the hospital with her head between sandbags to keep her from moving it. Can't recall how long they kept her like that but it was quite an experience.
Very complete and well done.
Thank you! I’m having surgery next week. This makes me feel much better.
I had the Clareon PanOptix Multifocal done 2 days ago in my right eye. I have some minor halos from headlights and stop lights but they are symmetrical/cool/neat looking like something from a video game. Don't think these halos will bother me much even If they never go away. They're nothing like the weird asymmetrical distortions and weird ghosting and/or double/x6 vision of LEDs and stoplights I had before surgery. So far so good. No pain. Very minor blur and flickering currently but I expect that to go away. I could read the smallest, crazy small print on a cardboard eye card test the day after surgery, yesterday. (Computer and phone are harder to view due to lighting) Old plasma TV looks great though! Left eye will be done 2 weeks from now. When I compare my left and right eyes, colors are significantly, radically brighter/better/normal/correct with the new lens. In particular, my WHITE refrigerator is pure white again (not eggshell white or light tan/beige white) and my RED Ford truck has probably bumped up 10 or 12 shades on the visible color spectrum.😀
I'm glad to know those painful anesthetic needles are no longer needed. I had a cataract removed from my right eye in 1980 and when they stuck those needles in behind my eye, it was extremely painful. Artificial lenses were fairly new at the time, and not many places did that, so I went 10 years using contacts in that eye. In 1990, I finally got the implant, but they still used those painful needles to deaden the eyelid, and whatever moves the eyeball. Now, I have one developing in my other eye, so am happy to hear it will be much less painful when the time comes. Btw, I was never nervous or apprehensive about the surgery, only the damn needles.
Thank you so much doctor for that informative explanation you helped me lower my concerns
This video was so helpful! It helped me understand what to expect.
Very nicely explained. Lot of doubts have been addressed in very good manner.
I can testify to the fact that Dr.Wong and his associates have built a wonderfully personable and professional team from top to bottom.
Thank you for this detailed information and what to truly expect. Very helpful!
North bay eye in Northern California Doctor Saidel is amazing ! I’m 71 and love my tecnis toric Eyhance JJ on my right eye I had 20/100 , not any more ! I can wait awhile to do my left eye - they use combo eye drops also before and after sugery - they use a cotton quaze and high quality eye patch right after sugery and then the next morning doctor visit they remove the patch , I have no dry eyes ! No redness ! Clear vision !
I’m amazed how science allows vision to be restored ~
Hi. How are you doing with your vision now? Are you wearing reading the glasses. Thank you
Thank you for this reassuring info. Heading for surgery to remove my cortical cataracts soon.
thank you - so clear and calm and informative!
You are very knowledgeable, You explain the process wonderfully. Thank you!
Thank you so much, this is the most informative video I've seen on this topic.
Thank you Doc for this great video you’d shared
My surgery will be this April 1st week. I know well what to do God bless you more Doc 🙏 3-19-2023 🇺🇸
Dr Wong just watching this video has removed much of my apprehension and anxiety with my upcoming cataract surgeries in June 2022. I shall be meeting with my surgeon on May 10, 2022 for my "pre op" consultation in Prescott, AZ. I understand I shall be receiving an IV mild sedative of Versed to bring calmness, never had that previously, perhaps the Valium is a better choice? I am so very impressed with your videos Dr Wong. Your videos offer so much information and explanations of the cataract procedures. I was told "no lifting from the waist, bending, cooking, no water on my face, etc." Now after hearing your video (upgraded information from former restrictions) I feel much more relaxed referencing potential restrictions. Living alone some restrictions are not optimally a "good thing." I also prefer to have the eyedrops PMB rather than the Injectable end of surgery? I do use the Systane Hydration PF daily now for the dry eye. Thank you Dr Wong this video is absolutely fantastic, exceptionally informative. This is my 3rd viewing. If I lived in the Austin area I would have utilized your care. Will be reviewing this video again I am sure. This updated video should be viewed by any/all patients scheduled for cataract surgery.

@@violetlindo1915 I am sorry Violet I was unable to read your reply? I just saw 4A?
I agree. I just had my first eye done today and learned si much about what went on and what to expect by watching this video. Praying for a great post op check tomorrow. Right now, 13 hrs post surgery, I still have some burning and my vision is blurry. Hopefully that's better by morning. My surgeon waa pretty thorough In explaining things, but I honestly don't even remember seeing him today, probably because of the sedative injection. I remember absolutely nothing about the surgery except talking to nurses, and knowing how I react to sedative meds, I probably talked the entire time. Meds like that make me talk, talk. Talk.
i just got caterac surgery on feb14/2023 the result is amazing i now can see without my glass loving it
This is an excellent video on what to expect when having cataract surgery.
I wish I had watched this video before I had my surgery. This is much more information than got from my eye surgeon.
I just had my right eye cataract surgery in Canada; what Do's and Don'ts before and after; what to expect during the surgery, as explained by Dr Shannon Wong in this video do affirm what my doctor explained... very satisfying and aloquent.
Excellent video!
This presentation by Dr. Wong is phenomenal. He is reassuring and clearly explains every phase of the cataract surgery process. So comprehensive and easy to understand by a layperson.
I am three days post op from one eye done now and the other eye scheduled in two weeks. My eye care and surgery is in Charlottesville VA.
I'm 82 years old and look forward to more years of better vision. I only wish that I had gone through with this amazing surgery years ago when my ophthalmologist suggested it. Good luck to all who are thinking of getting this care and for those who are currently experiencing this procedure.
Thank you, Dr. Wong, for your magnificent coverage of this timely topic! Joanne H in Nellysford, VA
Joanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video and for your kind comments. Wishing you the very best!
I just had surgery last week. It went well and I'm set to have my other eye done next week
I had lasik cataract surgery 1 1/2 years ago. I had extreme astigmatism in my left eye, so I had it done first. I had the right eye done one week later. I Ontario Canada, lasik isn't covered by our provincial health insurance. I had made an appointment to see a traditional surgeon, and it would have been 6 month wait for a consultation and probably 6 months to 12 months after the consult for surgery. My Optometrist suggested trying to contact the Lasix clinic. I had a consultation appointment 1 week later, and surgery 2 weeks after that. I was honestly a miracle for me. I had been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old for amblyopia. Now I have 20/20 distance vision and wear reading glasses. I was so happy to pay the cost of the lasix. I realize that not everyone can afford it, but highly recommend to those who can. Excellent presentation.
Question do you experience flicking?
Your video is so helpful. I wish my doctor had made a video like you did! Thank you.
Excellent and painstakingly explained. Thank you Dr. Wong
