I am 62 and getting cataract surgery in November. My doctor gave me the options of monofocal or Vivity in my right eye as I have Uveitis in that eye and LAL in my left dominate eye. All the research I've been doing make me want to just go with a distance monofocal lens if I will end up needing readers anyway. I've worn glasses my adult life so not a big deal. My MIL got the same done recently and bought prescription glasses with plain lens on top and a reader lens on the bottom so she didn't have to take readers on and off. Seems like a good solution. The Vivity is an extra $2500 and the LAL is an extra $3800. We are self pay so thinking it is not worth the extra $$$.
Having to make a decision on which lens to put in my eyes is paralyzing
Would be nice to hear from people who have tried several options and had repeat surgeries. My thought is that intermediate mono is the way to go. I'd like to be able to read without glasses but accept wearing glasses for very fine micro electronics work. I'll stay away from multifocal as I'm not a person that likes any risk. If I can reduce risk by 10 percent of a major problem and lose some functionality its better for me. And as for far vision. If its far away, why would I want to look at it in the first place.😮
lm 49 had cataracts last year. l went with Vivity lens EDOF and happy with it, l have great distance and intermediate vision and good enough to read average print such as mobile phone, only need glasses for small print
That sounds about right. I'm glad that lens worked well. I am curious if you notice any slight halo around lights at night....a lot of patients do but they find it minimal and the benefit of the reading far out ways it
@@GoodOptometryMorning no l dont get a halo at night but l do get a flickering light in my eyes at night whenever l walk directly underneath a light such as for example when l walk directly underneath the light bulbs in the ceiling of the rooms in my house , its slighly annoying but l got used to it
Same here. Only need specs for very close reading of small print. Otherwise, free of glasses, and no headlight glare or halos. Very pleased with the Vivity
That's awesome & helpful. I am about to schedule surgery and am trying to decide between EDOF Vivity or toric monovision lenses. I don't love monovision but had it through contact lenses for years. If I could have your result I would be happy. I was under the impression one would not be able to read at all w/Vivity. I wonder why EDOF lenses were not addressed in this video.
This was a fantastic explanation!! This was explained FAR BETTER than the Ophthalmologist
!
Yes, I can now make an informed decision
THANK YOU!!
Glad it was helpful
Im loving your videos. Would like to see “questions to ask your to cataract surgeon to see if they are the right one for you”, “everything about correcting vision with Lasik” for young people, “what causes cataracts and how to prevent”. Thanks!
I hate that I’m 31 years old and looking for what I should do for my cataracts. I have cataracts and an astigmatism and my grandmother has macular degeneration, which is awful to see. This has been a great video!
Excellent info!
But…with a mono focal implant, anything left over that may need optical correction can be done with glasses.
And glasses are not a bad thing, despite what your surgeon says.
Do not opt for mono vision balancing between the eye, ever!!
Thanks
My dr said that when she does the cataract surgery she uses a lazer which corrects the astigmatism but a few videos say the Toric lens corrects it. She offers Toric lens with lazer procedure. Reg lens thst Medicare covers is only a blade surgery. I only have one click of astigmatism she says.
Thank you for this information. Looking forward to your follow-up video.
Thanks for watching!
I have ROP, congenital, glaucoma, nystagmus, photophobia, and aphakia. They want to do this to see if we can correct my vision some more with an IOL. I’d definitely do the nearer lens, cause I’m myopic anyway so I don’t know what it’s like to see far away. I’m excited to see if we can do it but I’m afraid at the same time because my vision is like 20/500 with my glasses but they effect my balance pretty horribly. If they slide the least but on my nose, I’m not seeing anything but colors. Oh and part of the worry is that I’ve had 17 eye surgeries already, but I really hope they can. It would be awesome to never t have to deal with the sliding of the glasses. Sorry for the long comment
I have a mono focal for didtance in my dominant eye and am considering the IC-8 for my other eye to extend my depth of focus. What do you know about it?
I had cataracts and had them taken care of in March 2024. After consulting with the doctor I selected the monofocal lens as I did not mind still having to wear glasses, I drive at night and wanted to eliminate any potential glare and the astigmatism I had was slight in the left eye in the cornea and not much if at all in the cornea in the right eye. The primary thing was to get as much correction in the IOL that would be the simplest because I had far sightedness which was +6.00 in the right eye and +6.25 in the left eye.Also with he normal aging I had +3.00 in both eyes for the bifocal. Post operative I had no correction required in the right eye and +0.25 in the left eye. The correction for reading was a +2.25. I always wondered what it be like to wear glasses that were light as the old one no matter the lens were heavy and I been wearing them since I was 3 years old and I am 66.
So how is it to have light glasses?
@@GoodOptometryMorning It was strange to me as on occasion I will on occasion reach up to push the glasses back up which is was normal for heavy glasses but my glasses did not move. Thebiggest thing is the fact when I get hot and sweaty the light weight glasses don't move any where as much as the old glasses as they would literally fall off if I moved. One big take away was the comfort level is so much more. I always wore glasses and to be able to take off the glasses and still see clearly is so surprising.

you ar e welcome
I have a stigmatism and I’m getting cataract surgery in one eye only. I’ve decided to get as Tori’c lens are closer distances. I understand I have to pick a certain exact distance. I read at 18 inches and I play piano at 24 inches as well as computer. When I teach piano I am 40 inches away. I would like to know if the lens corrected precisely to a certain amount of inches,how much further each direction, closer and further away, does it still help your vision?
I would talk to your optometrist
I had a standard distance monofocal implanted last week. A side effect I’ve been experiencing is that my peripheral vision quivers on the temporal side. I also think I’m seeing the edge of the IOL. Why is the lens unstable?
it can take a little time to stabilize
I'm having the same issue, I see you posted this 2 months ago. Did that symptom go away?
@@rheljarrard9566 I’m now at 3 months post operation, and although it’s better than it was, there is still room for improvement. Search for “Why do I see a shadow, crescent or arc after cataract surgery? Treatment of Negative Dysphotopsia.” It’s the best video on this subject.
@Generic Thank you, I have read about negative dysphotopsia. There is a Dr here on CZcams that recommends the Bausch and Lomb LI61AO. it's a 3 piece lens. However, it's too late for that now! I'm 10 days out on my right eye, and it's gotten MUCH better. Just did my left 3 days ago. I'm seeing too clear, I hate the wrinkles on my face, and my hair now looks like straw. Lol.
Had a Acrysof SN60WF 9 years ago in the right eye(think it is monofocal). Need to have a surgery on the left eye with astigmatism soon. Is it possible to have mix lens. e.g.Toric Trifocal PanOptix or EDOF Vivity with the current monofocal lens or its better to go for another monofocal? Will like to be independence of glasses as much as possible to read from mobile phone. Do not drive at night. Thanks
I would ask your surgeon about that.
What is the success rate for toric monofocal IOLs?
Very high.
