Cataract Surgery 

I’ve watched 4 types of videos like these. I can now successfully perform my own vasectomy, cataract surgery, hand reattachment, and heart surgery

I had one eye done just a month ago, and am going to have my other eye done this Friday. The experience was amazing! Drops to dilate the eye, drops to sterilize the eye, drops to freeze the eye. I felt absolutely nothing throughout the procedure, but could see beautiful colours and patterns as the probe worked to break the cataracts. I could also see the lens being placed. There was no pain or discomfort at all. My lens is multi-focus, and it was five days before I could see clearly close up. My distance vision did not appear to have been affected. The lens in my other eye will be adjusted to give slightly more powerful long distance vision, and both eyes will work to compensate each other to restore 20/20 vision. Glasses no longer needed!

"Will remain in place for the rest of your life." that genuinely is one of the most scarest things someone can say

When they said “stitches aren’t usually necessary” I literally said to myself “You can get STITCHES….on your fucking eyeballs” O-O

Had cataract surgery done on both eyes, 3 weeks apart, in June 2021. Can’t believe how sharp everything looks, the colors so vivid. Am in my late 60s and it’s like a part of my youth has been given back. The surgery itself sounds a little scary, but really it’s a piece of cake.

Oh so that's what they did. I'm 22 and I had the procedure done on both eyes last year and was so happy with how clear everything was afterwards.

I had congenial cataracts so I was born pretty much blind. The doctor took out the lenses before I was one but didn't put in new lenses because my eyeballs were not adult-sized. I wore ridiculously thick glasses to compensate. Then when I was 19, I got new lenses put in. What a game changer. I remember crying when I saw individual leaves on a tree 10 feet away. I still like to think back to the days when I wore those thick glasses. Taking them off, my vision was so blurry, I can only make out colors and amorphous shapes. My new lenses give me 20/35 vision but it's the best I've been able to see with and all I know. I'm just grateful to have sight.

My grandparents have gotten this surgery in both their eyes and I can’t imagine doing this it looks so scary seeing all of this and being awake

@zaqpoo Good memory! This is an updated version with new content (also in widescreen).

Im so scared for my grandma who is 85 and has only one good eye and exactly that one is the one that'll get surgery. This video makes it very clear and educational🙏❤

Namaste Some facts about cataract 1. Cataract surgery can be performed in any season. The associated myth that rainy season should be avoided can be ignored as advance cataract removal technology and medication is available. 2. We should have cataract removed whenever it starts affecting our daily life and we need not wait for it to mature as that can cause complications. 3. Eye drops cannot dissolve cataract and surgery is the only effective method. 4. Cataract is a day care procedure with fast recovery 5. Cataract surgery can be safely performed even in hypertensive and diabetic patients. Thanks

Just had mine done a couple of months ago, and the difference in my vision is amazing.

Recently had my second cataract done, with fantastic results, painless and quick operation and the sedation I had was something else!!!

My dad went through this with an incompetent surgeon. The surgeon broke the lens but for whatever reason couldn’t “finish the surgery” after that, so he just sent my dad home and told him to come back later. After returning home that day, my dad started to develop painful pressure in his head. We called the surgeon and he didn’t know what to do. Then we wanted to take him to the ER but my dad thought could just sleep it off. The next morning the pressure became so bad that he passed out. We rushed him to the ER and it took 9 hours and several hundred drops to relieve the effects. It turns out that the broken lens “fell” and resulted in Glaucoma developing. They had to rush to set up a new surgery that week to fix the screwed up one with a different doctor who actually knows what he’s doing (they were initially going to make him wait a month for this surgery). The second surgery went fine and recovery had no issues. Moral of this is if your loved one is feeling any sort of head pain after going through this, go to the ER immediately. Don’t wait.

I had my left eye done about ten years, now it's time for the right. I sedative had no effect on me so I was knocked out. It isn't bad, it sure as hell is worth having great clear vision again.

Very informative video for prospective cataract surgery patients. Production-wise, I thought it was superb, with the exception of the eye diagram as it zooms into the cataract/pupil view. There is so little contrast between the white used for both that definition and detail is completely lost - a relatively simple re-do would be the request of any of our attorneys. All-in-all, this is a terrific animation and explanation of cataract surgery. You guys are clearly some of the best producing this kind of work!

Just had this surgery saturday. Just anesthesia drops. Doctor finished in 10-15 mins. No recovery room wait. Was given instructions, eye drops, goggles ang eye patch in a bag then sent home. It was that easy.

i am 70 years old and had cataract surgery in my right eye 2 weeks ago the left eye was fine but the right eye was absolutely useless it was like trying to see through a frosted glass window causing me really bad headaches and feeling really down now after surgery my vision is like im a 15 year old again no more headaches and feeling fantastic anyone who is needing this surgery has absolutely nothing to worry about you dont feel a thing its completely painless an amazing experience

Just the refresher I need before a surgery this afternoon.

my grandma had a cataract surgery today which kinda spooked me. surgeons are angels

Great video. Thank u❤️ from India

thanks for the information

Just had cataract surgery yesterday. It was painless, I couldn’t even see the tools going in my eye and the whole thing only took about 10 minutes

Pshhh I just started being ok with a dentist digging around in my mouth with only “local anesthetic” and “the gas” to relax. MY EYEBALLS!? Bahahahaaaa! NO! KNOCK ME OUT!

In this case you do not need general anaesthesia you need local to prevent pain if you tear a dressing of ur incision it will cause bleeding problems

Local anestesia? Heck no Put me to sleep I don’t want to watch the surgeon stab my eyes

I think I need this surgery... and too afraid to go through it..someone please tell me it's safe T_T

Did this 2 weeks ago. I didn't know I actually went through all these... So cool and scary at the same time, because its all so tiny and high risk. (think sneeze) And thank God, I survived. Now I have bionic right eye that can see as far as the horizon, crystal clear! No regrets at all. Anyone whos still contemplating, please consider. All the best!

I watched one thing sorta like this and now I can’t stop seeing videos like this

The satisfaction I got from this is immaculate

It only takes 10-15 minutes if your doctor does laser surgery. It's the safest surgical procedure performed.

Thank you for this. It helped me explain to my 74 year old mom who's doctor rushed

I have had the procedure done on both eyes. First the left eye, and a few weeks later the right eye. I was unconscious for both. Now I have better vision because the cataracts are gone, and I only need reading glasses. Incredible.

I just went to optician today and diagnosed with cataract on my left eye. I will be referred to eye specialist. I hope 🙏 I can have the operation ASAP.

Congratulations to all the People who had their Surgery Successful 💗

i didn't have this one but had cross linking on my right eye. I'm dreading the idea of some day having to redo it on the other eye.

I was born with cataract in my right eye. They removed the lens but placed none in. I also have strabismus in that eye (cross eyed). I tried patching and wore thick glasses growing up. I’m 18 years old now and try my hardest to hide the cross eye but with no lens and muscle controlling dysfunction, it’s hard. In order to disguise my bad eye, I have to give up my vision in my good eye. Not only is it hard to see but also hard to focus.

Superb animation. Thanks. 🙏❤️

I’ve had my done 5 days ago, and it was absolutely flawless. You don’t feel anything. But I’m here cause I have a question for anyone who might know. I accidentally rubbed my eye (not too hard) but didn’t actually touch the eye itself. I just rubbed my eyelids and puts a little bit of pressure on my eye. It didn’t hurt and I don’t see any difference at all. But is that fine? I started to overthink and did my eyedrops right after. No pain, no irritation, nothing. I should be fine, right? Thank you for reading if you do! Please let me know!

Thanks for information

Just curious, what's the aftermath like? Is there pain after the anesthetic wears off? I've had my wisdom teeth removed and a crown lengthening done. I have a ridiculously high pain tolerance and I still felt some minor pain during the healing process.

This is helping. the procedure.

Is it possible to have a cataract removed without lens replacement? I understand that is probably a stupid question.

I had it done earlier this year ,best thing I have ever done., I now only wear glasses for close up reading

And this is why I am starting to wear sunglasses more often. Don't wanna get this.

I cannot be awake for this

If there is now an artificial lens, is accommodation not present since the suspensory ligaments are no longer connected with the lens?

My mom will very soon need this, she’s in her early fifties but is already having some rapidly-progressing ones, already she can’t read anything smaller than 14pt and is just waiting for it to reach a thickness at which it can be safely removed

Dr Rahil is the best eye dr in india for cataract and refractive error surgery.

The vision in my left eye has been blurry for about 3 weeks now, I’ve got an appointment booked and I am slowly approaching that appointment, any idea what could be wrong with my eye?

well that's good to know cause i have a cataract in both eyes at a very very young age might get a surgery if it gets worse.

I had done cataract surgery with replacement of eye lens many years ago /2005/. Is it possible that artificial lens became not opaque , eye vision not so good as it was just surgery in 2005. Is there any difficulties for the second time replacement of artificial lens?

I just had my cataract surgery today with anesthesia. After waking up I feel the lens inside keeps poking my eyeball and eyelid which gives me an unpleasant feelings and It makes my eye tearing and blinking alot... I don't know If it's normal for the first time but I hope It'll be better in few weeks/months. Thank you for this amazing video!

Informative really, detailed animation

I think I need this. My left eye kinda blurry now which my vision doesnt see anything well. Whenver I look about 10 meters I cant see like its doubled or idk

Had surgery on both Eyes but my vision is still cloudy due to having congenital cataract . Will be proceeding to laser eye surgery . Wish me luck

I read this as cactus surgery lol

Very cool!

Why is this so satisfying?

This video is so helpful . . . . I watch this everytime before operating on my patients.

Is there any unique pheco surgery with Indian Len's ?

what the drugs use before and after surgery

the medical yt community is just amazing tbh

I had my first one done 2 weeks ago. Today, had the other one done. No needles were put into my eye to numb it. They use eye drops to numb it. Only needed I had was an IV to help me relax. I was awake, yet very drowsy, and was able to talk. My Dr was a woman who did an excellent job. I do need to have reading glasses, but thats it.

So, yesterday I was talking with my dad about my grandmother getting a cataract surgery, and now this appears in my recommended, can’t convince me they aren’t listening to me

Can't wait to get my surgery...thanks for sharing this video....I have a better idea about it

I wonder how much this would take for dogs, I dont have the money right now but I want him to see properly again.

Sir my age is 31yrs..i had cataract in my left eye and the doctor told that you need surgery to remove the cataract..at the time of surgery is monofocal lens inserted for the youngsters?because i heard that some side effects are there for multifical lens compared with monofocal lens

I am having mine on November 27, 2020 and December 3. I cannot wait.

I had cataract surgery a few years ago. Now I have enjoyed better vision, and I use glasses for reading only. Before, I had to wear glasses all the time.

POV: you fell asleep first in the sleepover

Thank you.

Thank you

When will be patch removed....?? Same day....?? Or it take some days to remove patch on eye....???

Any surgery to treat permanent retinal tear??

Back in the day, they would use sutures to close the site. They sure are doing it different now. Its been 30 years since I assisted an eye surgeon.

What anesthesia u guys use

We need a full video of this

"as you age these proteins may begin to clump together" is that the only reason to developed cataracts? because well i was 3 and 4 years old when i had cataracts and wanted to know how i got it at that age? ( oh my parents told me i wasn't born with cataracts) also people are awake during the surgery???????? I'm so glad i don't remember anything!

I have a cataract and I hate it and I have to have surgery soon for It but I also have glocoms and aniridia so I tried to have that surgery before when I was younger but it was to dangerous and my doc said my eyes r different than other peoples so it’s harder and they want to try and do it again and now I have one in my other eye and I have had 10 different surgery’s already when I was really young and not I’m almost 13 and I am still having them 🥺😭😩

Good job please do more vedios like this thana

Lens is made of protein and water? It's a wonder it doesn't just dissolve on it's own.

Imagine your surgeon watching this while performing the surgery.

Amazing video. Can i give the link to this video on my website, if you don't mind?

I too feel as thoughI can do many things on humans and. I can also do a C section on all farm animals, reinsert a cow’s intestine after the cow has pushed to hard during a birth. I can get grain that is stuck in. Im just waiting for the need to use my knowledge!

2:17 This scared me. I don’t know why it’s just they way she said it just gave me chills

This is amazing

I'm suffering from a right side hymonophia can this help for me?

My grandma has cataract and it is do bad she can't do day to day things by herself because of her cataract. It is getting so bad that she can't even pick up the phone, so she signed up for the surgery. Very helpful to see how her surgery will be performed. Thanks a lot!

I'm 18 years old, and I have a cataract in my right eye (it started when I was on grade 9, now i'm grade 12). I can't affoard a surgery.

excellent ...... i don't think i will forget :)

This is soooo helpful isn't it?

Imagine the surgeon watching this while doing surgery 😅

Do the stitches dissolve?

I wonder how this new artificial lens interacts with muscles of the eye to focus?

Hahah, it's all fun and games until the anesthesia wasn't enough to make you unconscious.
