Is there any research ongoing to see if cataracts can be treated rather than having lens removal? Do u think that will ever be achieved?

Doctor you forgot to mention that Johnson and Johnson have also introduced the Tecnis Puresee. It’s already available in Europe and will be released in the US shortly. It’s an EDOF lens. From initial reports I am hearing it’s performing better at near than Vivity. However I am waiting to hear more feedback on it. It’s great that you are covering new lenses. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for letting us know! It’s not going to be available in the US (at least we haven’t heard anything) so excited to see how the data looks in Europe!

Great info. Thanks so much for your videos. I am tempted to consider a vacation in Scottsdale when my time for an IOL comes.

I’m getting an LAL+ in my right eye in a few hours! Nervous but excited to get vision back (I have a rapid PSC that has destroyed my vision in 6months)

The question I have about LAL lenses is that after the lens has been set (fully polymerized), is it still subject to optical changes if exposed to fairly intense blue or even longwave UV. Having to redo the surgery would not be in my list of things I'd like to do :-).

I'm planning on getting LAL but they have been around for years...not so new.

Thank you Dr. Lee for reviewing these newer lenses. Do you have any experience or thoughts on Lenstech's Clearview 3 IOL? FDA approved in 2022. Claims of reduced halos, starburst etc are promising if proven out in broad number of cases.

Good information. Is the LAL+ lens also a good fit for people that have had lasik surgery?

I'm watching for the new accommodating lenses like the Lensgen Juvene. Those promise a new era of corrective lenses.

Hi Dr. Lee, this question is not really related to new lenses. I had a mono-focal lens for both eyes in January. One was Toric and the other was Eyehance. I was very myopic. I made progressive lens for computer and reading after surgery. I get a moving, dreamy sensation, like when you just get out of bed. Also some objects were distorted when you look at them from an angle. I have worn the glasses for over 5 months but it is still the same. When I take them off or wear non prescription sunglasses, the feeling goes away. Is it true that progressives might not work for someone who had cataract surgery if they were myopic. I have worn progressives for many many years before my cataracts were removed and I had no problems until my cataracts were removed. I read a lot about after effects of a cataract surgery and no one ever mentioned this, my eye doctor, optometrist, etc. that I might have problems with progressive lenses. Blurry after cataract surgery. I have a very slight PCO in one eye. Two eye doctors said that it was so slight that it shouldn't affect me. I must be very sensitive to it. Should I have a Yag even though it is so slight. It is affecting me. I feel like I am looking through smudgy eyeglasses. Thanks!

Is there restrictions with these lenses for those having suffered a detached retina that was corrected by a Scleral Buckle? Prior to the detached, astigmatism was present which got even worse after the Scleral Buckle was attached

Great information thank you. I’ve been reading good things about the Clearview 3 iol what are your thoughts?

@MicheleLeeMD

2 ай бұрын

It's a good lens. It's a bifocal IOL so there is just distance and near, not much of an intermediate focus. Patients do report less halos than other multifocal IOLs.

What about accommodating lens, clear view 3 lenses

Dear Doctor Lee, why didn't you include the Lenstec ClearView 3 Multifocal IOL in this video?

This is such helpful information, Dr. Lee! Thanks so much for keeping us up to date. 🙏 Every year I wait, I breathe a sigh of relief that I haven't moved forward. With myopia, an astigmatism, presbyopia and dry eyes, I really want to wait for a product that can reliably deliver a spectacle free result. And, so far my cataracts are not terribly progressed. 🤞🏼I've been wearing B&L Ultra multifocal for astigmatism for years and I never need readers. The comfort is sub optimal, but I accept the tradeoff as I am a very active person. Do any of these stand out as a clear choice for dry eye candidates? I'll stay tuned!

​@MicheleLeeMD Thank you. The B&L Infuse is available in multifocal and Infuse lenses with corrections for Astigmatism are coming soon, but it sounds like these will be separate products and unfortunately not one lense that does both. 😢 If you have information to the contrary, please let us know. Thanks again!

Does the new Odyssey MFL come in a toric version for those of us who need very strong astigmatism correction (not just mild toric power)?

Do all of the new lenses require numerous follow up appointments after the eye has healed to set the lenses to the exact optimized vision of each individual?

Yes, one of the downsides of the LAL and LAL+ is that there are many visits to do the adjustments. Hope that answers your question!

I have the mono lens. I wore the mono contract lenses for years. No glasses for me.

I’d like to know you talk about one of them not doing well if you shake or the ice shake or something I have Tourette’s would Tourette’s be something that would be contraindicated with one of the new lenses that you were talking about I didn’t stop and write the name down or put this in. I watch the whole thing first I don’t remember which one specifically it was but I would love to know, would Tourette’s be contraindicated for use with either one of the new lenses that are coming out. One eye is bad enough for cataract surgery and they told me the other one was not I don’t know if that has changed or not. They said something about being allowed to do the other one if this one got done and I’m thinking that’s not the way it works. But also my dad had a very bad time with his cataract surgery back when they used cadaver pieces

Hi there, if you have a head tremor as part of your Tourette’s, you may not be a candidate for the light adjustable lens (LAL or LAL+) as these lenses require adjustments in the clinic setting. It is important to talk to your surgeon to see what options you have for your surgery. Best of luck!

What ahppened to the Juve-vene(sp?) weve been waiting for? LALs been out for years Odessy is new. Love YOU and want to see you for cats but some opthmos are still claiming they have the latest advancements like ORA and whatever 2010 lens they have. Why do they do that yhey can make just as much money just doing their best 2024. Makes me hate them like hate all salesman. Thanks youre the best. PS Can I get long time PCOs removed BEFORE cat surgery.

I have 2 questions on the LAL-series lenses. The first is in regard to the need to wear UV-blocking sunglasses. Is this "forever" (a showstopper for me), or just until their shape is finalized by the "Lock-In" exposure? Assuming the latter is the case, what is the typical post-surgery time interval required until this can be completed? (guess 2-3 months) The second question is in regard to the long-term stability of this lens. Has any independent analysis been done to estimate how it will perform after a period of 20 years?

Don't do LAL monovision
