I actually just had "that talk" with my eye doctor -- again. The thought of the surgery makes me shudder and I don't know how I will get over the fear of someone cutting my eye. I've gone from soft contact lens to hard lens to back to soft lens because I have issues with lens movement, glare and focusing. I went today with my hard contact (the 3rd one) to a soft lens and will try two soft lenses in a few days. I'm hoping this will do the trick for now anyway. Going into a hospital for surgery during covid is even more frightening. Thank you for this video and I will definitely watch the rest of this series.

Can you do a video explaining Fuchs Dystrophy, what it is, treatments, etc and also explain options for someone with this in regards to cataract surgery

I'm 17 and always thought I had an astigmatism because of how lights looked especially at night, but when I went to the eye doctor he told me that I had 20/15 vision and cataracts! He said they're very small and probably won't get bigger, but it was a very surprising discovery!

I had posterior polar cataracts, a rare kind that were pressing on my retinas and posterior capsule. A tear was a very real possibility, so my optometrist immediately called one of the top 2 ophthalmology surgeons in my area. He saw me right away and scheduled surgery. I was amazed at how quick and painless the operations were (not done at the same time)! When I went back to work the next day, I saw a fine pattern in wallpaper that had previously looked plain. I saw a painting that had looked very dull and drab; now it was full of bright red, rust and brown colors.I just could not get over what I saw now without the cataracts!

I had the surgery yesterday and was AMAZED at how painless it was! Also my vision is so clear now.

I just got over the shingles and had another eye appointment today. The eye doctor said that he saw the formation of a cataract. I didn't have a nice day after that; I'm very worried about the whole situation. Thank you for your help

In October 2022 I found out that I had severe cataracts, at the age of 43. My sister, dad and grandma also had cataracts in their early 40s. I got my right eye operated in January 2023 and my left eye three weeks later, and it has literally changed my life. Before the surgery I was barely functionable, and even needed my 12 year old daughter to guide me when out walking. If anyone is doubting about getting the surgery, don't. The operation was painless and lasted 15 minutes, and the results are amazing.

Agree,worth doing. I was 52 when i had cataracts so went to a specialist (£1,200 each eye) rather than the NHS here in the UK (NHS = National Health Service) which is free medical care which comes out of our wages, NI = National Insurance) . Didn't want our NHS to do my glasses incase they wasn't that good! Privately & i was glad i did as the person was well experienced. I could see sooo much clearer after,marble surfaces & concrete was really sharp a day after. Andi didn't need glasses anymore! Wore glasses since i was 5. I could see further now without any blurring, plus don't need glasses for reading...it's really crisp after the op. I needed glasses to read a number plate for driving & now i don't,but do wear glasses as past 23 meters it isn't as sharp. It's 22 meters to read a car reg plate to be legal to drive....so glasses will be & is better for road signs much further ahead.

The most helpful part is the discussion of when to have the surgery. I waited a little too late because I have only one good eye. My cataract was very dense. My doctor used laser in the surgery as she said that involved less risk. Now I see great 20-30 at a distance without glasses. I use reading glasses for close up. I did get a new set of bifocals for when I want to see 20-20 at a distance.

İs the lens attached?

Im 48 years old, and I was recently diagnosed with cateracts of both my eyes. My mother had cataract surgery when she was about 5 years older than I am now, and she had tremendous success with her surgery. I inherited severe myopia from her, and she has been wearing very slim glasses for the past 25+ years since her surgery, along with sunglasses for photosensitivity. She has been very supportive of me and my diagnosis, and hopes that I will qualify for eye surgery soon, because it changed her vision for the better and believes I will have the same transformation. I'm pretty nervous about the inevitable surgery, but if I can see even better than I ever could, I think I'm ready to take the chance.

Yes! I'm looking for the other videos you will be presenting on this. I can't wait!

EXCELLENT!!. Very clear and comprehensive video. Keep up the good work Dr.🕊

Hi..I just found your channel. Last Saturday I experienced a PVD evidenced by multiple floaters and the sensation that pepper was being sprinkled in front of my eyes! I went on Easter Sunday for an emergency eval at a major NYC eye hospital and was diagnosed with a retinal tear. Laser surgery was performed preventing a detachment as there was already considerable vitreous fluid under the tear. I came home to find your videos on You-Tube. Wow!! They are awesome. I just wanted to extend a huge thank you for the outstanding public service your videos are providing. I have been binge watching them and your presentations are not only informative but entertaining. I have been recommending them to my friends and colleagues. Also based on your cataract video I will more attentive to wearing sunglasses! Thank you so so much and stay safe..Warren B in NJ

Very impressed with your explanation.well done

Surprisingly, for me the most informative part of this video was the bit about water falls! I was already familiar with what causes cataracts and their treatment. I am 67 years old, and have noticed difficulty when driving into a setting sun (or less often a sunrise!). So I have decided to get an eye doctor to check me out. Thank you for your interesting presentations. I find the mechanics of vision and refraction very interesting. The more one learns about the eyes and how they work the more amazing it becomes. One thing that makes my mind boggle is how the eyes coordinate with each other. For example, if you look at an object, then tilt your head to one side, one eye has to move upwards and the other downwards to maintain fixation on the object. Yet they do it without us even thinking about it. Incredible.

So grateful for your videos Dr. Allen! It’s very difficult to find reputable information on the internet, your channel is my go to whenever I have eye concerns. I’ve had 4 Retinal detachments over the space of a year and a half. I’ve had 2 vitrectomy surgeries on my right eye, first was with gas and the second was with silicone oil which my optometrist is hoping to remove in the coming months. I’m due to have cataract surgery once the oil has been removed which will hopefully help me see a lot better. This series is perfect timing! It’ll be great to have a better understanding of what’s to come with my cataracts! 😄

I’m having cataract surgery in July so this series is timed perfectly.

Thanks for such an informative video! New subscriber here. :) I was diagnosed with the genetic eye condition 'RP' two years ago when I was 25. Because of this, I already have tiny cataracts forming at the outer edge of each eye. I'm hoping it's a LONG time before this all begins to affect my vision!

Great video Dr Allen. I had my Cataracts ‘done’ some time ago in my 40s, earlier than later. I also needed YAG laser treatment on my left eye post surgery. I opted to remain Myopic and my Astigmatism has remained as well. The left eye was done considerably earlier than my right and for years I noted colour perception problems. Operations were very straightforward and all well.

Whole video is very informative and the lively and energetic way of your explaining impressed me most.

Clear, concise and reliably explained by an Opthalmic professional. Many thanks, as always.🙏🌞👀🤩🇬🇧🙏

Great video!

excellent you helped me make my decision to get surgery, thanks Doc.

Video with great information. My dad has this condition he is waiting for surgery. Now I understand better his feelings

I Like how U differentiate associated and causes !

Hey, Dr Allen! It's great to see your colleagues, Dr Fosso and Dr Ronning helping you out with some B-roll. Nice work! Oh, and great info!

I appreciate your candid and objectivity of the procedure without pushing the surgery prematurely which I feel happens more often than not. Thank you. I follow you religiously and refer your channel often!

Great info, hopefully you can address in series about problems that cataract surgery don't correct . I had hoped cataract surgery would 'magically' cure ALL my eye problems but need to have realistic expectations. problems like astigmatism, dry eye. Guess these 'should' all be answered beforehand during consultation but sometimes I don't know what I don't know.

Wow! Thank you. I had even more symptoms than I realized. I'm waiting for ins auth and scheduling for cataract surgery right away! 😀 I'm 62 years old.

I must show my Mammy this. Thank you

Dr. Allen, kudos on being a wealth of information in a healthcare world where advertising eyeware beauty seems far more important than accuracy of eye care. Keep doing videos, please! Would you do a video on “pressure” on the eye? My optometrist said my R eye is 21, my L eye is 24..and both need to be rechecked in another year. Said pressure increases are not necessarily indicative of glaucoma (I’m nearing 70 yo). I have also been very near-sighted. Thank you for your good work!

I decided to read the comments but my eyes are so bad i cant read them. I think i need a Dr.

Excellent explanation as usual! What % of folks opt for corrective lens implants vs just clear. I’ve worn glasses since I was approx 7-8 & I’m not sure what route I’d take. My MIL seemed to have lots of problems with corrective implants. Also, I’ve been dx with corneal dystrophy. Can you do a video re this? 👍🏻

Thank you for the wonderful information in all of your videos. I'll be 70 in July and had cataract surgery in both eyes two years ago. I had been informed, for about 5 years prior, that my prescription at the time would not clear up my vision, completely, until I get cataract surgery. Both eyes are now better for distance (not 100%), and I need readers for close up. My sunglasses are bifocal to accommodate distance and reading. I was put under both times (one week apart) so I felt nothing during surgery and am surprised to read others felt pain. In one of my checkups, they zapped my right eye with a laser because I was still experiencing cloudiness. That took care of the problem

Thank you for sharing this knowledge and welcoming you 👍 from Johannesburg South Africa 👍

Helped relieve stress

I was very interested in your video and find your discussions and explanations extremely understandable, thank you. I am told that I have extremely early signs of cataract in one eye and to wait and have things monitored of the coming years, I did ask my eye man if this could have been caused by chemotherapy which I had some years ago, he did not know for sure but thought it was not out of the question. I was also very interested hearing that sight can be corrected for age related long sight! I did not think that was possible, I find glasses a menace now in later life not having had any sight issues in earlier life, maybe one day I can give them a miss......maybe! Thank you again.

Ok, this is what's cool....how many people do you know that is so knowledgeable and yet THIS YOUNG at the same time like this eye doctor but also act like they are so excited about their job?! Refreshing. I could learn from that😎.

My doctor told me I'm too young at 65? I believe she was lying because when I got my new glasses I still couldn't see so she told me I had cataracts instead of admitting her nurse screwed up my exam and gave me the wrong prescription and did not want to refund or remake my glasses, after I spent $2,000 for two pairs, my 4 year old glasses work better. She told me after re-examing me that they were a bit off but not enough to matter. I asked her to make them as good as she can and she got upset and told me it wouldn't matter because I have cataracts developing. I asked her about surgery and she said I'm too young.

Love your videos. Having cataract surgery next month.. I had strabismus surgery in both eyes as a child so i was sent to a pediatric ophthalmologist to rule out issues with that. I’ve been cleared for surgery. Yay. The left eye is lazy.. but my eyes still track well, according to my doctor. What is the success rate of cataract surgery in a lazy eye? I have an astigmatism as well which the doctor said he will correct when I’m having the cataract surgery.

Which part of this video helped you out the most? The entire video was extremely informative, but the physical "eye model" that you used to demonstrate and explain what cataract is made all of the difference. Thank you Dr. Allen. Going to watch the rest of the cataracts videos series.

Thank you so much Sir ❤️

Thank You for sharing. I found it all interesting, although the part of having improved vision from different lenses inserted was something I didn't know. I have one developing and am to see my Dr. every 6 months to keep it checked. My sister had one eye treated and said the improvement was so fantastic, she can not wait for the time to have the other eye done. THANKS AGAIN!

What did shock me was that mine advanced to the need for bilateral surgery within a year and a half. Can you speak about rapid onset cataracts? Are there factors related to that that are different than slow growing? No steroids. Other than occasional flonase. No trauma. (But I am a lifelong radiographer. But very low lifetime doses.)

I started wearing glasses at age 8. The last contacts I wore were -14.5. -16. My problem is with double vision. When I got new glasses made they under corrected them. But unevenly. So I think they created a lazy left eye. So I see out of the left lower and sort of tilted. My surgeon said I do have cataracts and I could get surgery when ever I would like to. I have plans to have a cataract evaluation but I’m so nervous about getting the surgery. I’ve read that the worse your eyes are the more likely to have a detached retina after. So scared. Plus I get horrible migraines from everything including meds and anesthesia. So I know I will have a violently one after for at least a week. But the detached retina risk is what terrifies me the most. Is there more risk for detachment for different lenses? My doctor said years ago that with the retina buckles my retinas are stronger now than before but I think he knew how high my anxiety is and was trying to calm me down.

kindly share what are best lens to use for cataract surgeries. please

I had cataract surgery in October, 2011 and I hardly ever have to wear glasses except for close up work and driving.

Hey there Doc. I just so happen to stumble across your channel whilst looking up frames for individuals with bigger heads. I always have a huge problem finding frames that actually fit. I was wondering if you could make a video or just reply to this comment on some great companies that make frames for us big headed people😂. I would super appreciate it. And I’m sure I’m not the only one with this BIG problem 😂. You have no idea how much I would seriously appreciate the help. Thank you so much.

Hope things go well for you. How is the uveitis? Is that under control?

@@DoctorEyeHealth Thankyou. I believe the inflammation is under control this is the main reason i couldnt be rushed straight into surgery as it was really bad at first more than the catarct

I just had second one done first one had debris behind lense that required a Vitrectomy that sucked big time. I still get flashes on occasion. So far this one good.

I want you to talk about C- NAC or CAN - C for cataracts
