👉 Better vision options after cataract surgery 👉 IOL-adviser.com 👈
Cataract surgery leads to dramatical improvement in vision, however cataract lens choice may lead to some vision problems during the night.
The problem explained in this video called nighttime dysphotopsia, and may happen with multifocal IOL, trifocal IOL such as Alcon Panoptix or Zeiss AT LISA, but also with modern EDOF IOLs such as Tecnis Symfony.
You may think that monofocal IOL is better option, but you have to know that even with monofocal IOL some patients experience halo or glare issues.
Moreover some eye conditions such as early cataract, myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism may cause nighttime dysphotopsia.
How to improve neuroadoptation and avoid these unwanted visual effect are explained in this video.

@isultan 3 года назад

@@iol-adviser Does high myopia (e.g. -5 or more) affect the choice of lenses for the IOL operation? Are such lenses as vivity and eyhance possible to use in these cases?

@iol-adviser 3 года назад

@@isultan well, good question. Myopia pf -5 is not as high, however sometimes you may have some issues with contrast sensitivity reduction. Normally -5 does not have that problems, so you theoretically eligible for any IOL, but my personal opinion that CS (contrast sensitivity) is major factor in vision quality, thus Eyhance is preferable to me, and if you want more freedom of glassess while keeping high contrast, Symfony is better choice. Vivity has significant contrast reduction, and as any PC IOL might have PDs, at least there are some patient feedbacks. So, the key while answering about IOL type is to know your visual needs first.

@thegoodgriefconversation4515 2 года назад

@@BM-ms3gr Can I ask, where your eyes re-checked and measured before your op, not just in the consultation? I haven't had such a great result. I am experiencing loss in contrast and ghosting around pretty much everything. Frustrating. They also didn't get the prescription correct in my right eye or it isn't positioned correctly. That is difficult for me to find out as I am sure Optimax won't want to admit to that. I had the Alcon Panoptix lens. I didn't know how to research them. I wish I had done even more research and I thought I had done loads!

i know someone who got monofocal recently. Sees great in day time but disappointingly she sees halos at night such that she doesn't want to risk driving at night. But then again she had nighttime halos from cataracts before the surgery and didn't drive at night. Overall she's glad she got the surgery.

I would warn people from IOL I have three or more large halos in each eye from light sources even daytime if it's LED. Now I can't drive at night and don't even feel confident walking around as the halos flash as the refraction changes. This isn't a side effect that my surgeon warned me about. I am now going to have them removed.

@BardhokNdoji 2 года назад

I just had a lens replacement a week ago. I was disappointed when I was told by the doctor that I could not have trifocals due to some issues with my right eye retina. She said that there is a chance in the future my vision will be distorted and I would not be happy with the results. She recommended mono-focal. My vision was so bad and I decided to go with it, to fix at least the distance. Little did I know that a mono focal was actually going to improve my close up vision too. Typing this without any glasses and only a week post surgery. The distance vision has never been any better, sharper, contrasty, vibrant, since I was 20. My close up vision is not perfect but I was not expecting anything at all. This has turned out to be one of the best decision I have done on the recent years. Will have a video diary of my full experience soon on my RU-vid channel.

@musafir123 Год назад

Which one is better edof or multifocal

@45_47_and_2A Год назад

@@musafir123 What I found out in my searching, was that the Multifocal gives you good near, mid and far distance, but has some limit on light. EDOF, gives you good mid and far distance, not the neat distance, but let's in more light than the Multifocal lens. I know someone who had both eyes done "Multifocal", and loves it. In my situation, I was just concerned, as a commercial driver about having as much as possible in my vision, and my eye doctor agreed. I do not have any glare, halos or starbursts in my vision. I saw different videos talking about this. Maybe I just had a great doc, but I have no problems al all. The combination of the two different types of implant lenses works great for me. I would say, that if you want to pick one or the other, and not a combination (go with both in the Multifocal) The Multifocal lenses are great! I hope this helps you out. Also, research as much as possible the doctor you are looking at. Customer reviews on any social media sites.

@johnfelipe5408 9 месяцев назад

I suffer terrible Dysphotopsia especially at night and in day time I can see the edge of the IOL. I am not considering another surgery because I am terrified that more damage can be caused to my eyes. I have J&J ICB00 and monovision. I am now 6 months post refractive Lens Surgery. My take on Dysphotopisa is that the industry understanding is either limited or in denial for purely for commercial interest. The idea that Neuroadaptation is the magic cure or that the patient can simply ignore dysphotopsia is without evidence. Since there is no mean to report or record dissatisfaction, manufacturer can report whatever they please. However, it is a good video and informative on Dusphotopsia

@DrK-in-Denmark 2 года назад

Worse decision I’ve ever made was getting multi focal iol transplant for myopia just because I wanted to be “glasses-free”. Never mind the optic oedema, infection, night blindness, dry eyes, acquired presbyopia, halos, glares, lens rejection, etc., but regular risk of surgery too. Unless severe grade 4 cataract, I’ll never, ever recommend anyone to get them. Wish ophthalmologist are more honest to patients for other options. JUST STICK TO GLASSES OR CONTACT LENSES IF YOU CAN. It’s been 2 years. Not worth it at all…buyer’s regret. Don’t do it if you’re considering.

Thank you for the information1. I have a question, I had cataract surgery yesterday with a monodical IOL. went well, they said. I was noticing yesterday and more today as I pay attention, that I see the OUTSIDE of the IOL, I think. It is like wearing eyeglasses with semi-clear-plastic rim, and I see the arc of the rim on the outside (left of center, about 60 degrees left of center) - when I have bright window off to the left side. (Left eye IOL.). This arc tracks with my left eye when I move eye horizontally. Is this a concern, or normal?? Is the IOL detached?? the eye doctors offices are closed until Monday morning (Friday at 3:30 pm now). Thanks for any help1

@ricardofabia 2 года назад

On a monofocal lens, what is usually the minimum focal distance?

@rupe53 2 года назад

As someone who has had the surgery, you will see clear for TV viewing and driving. If I had to guess, it might be from 6-8 feet and out. What will be annoying at first is for those with a desk job. For a computer you will need light reading glasses (+1.0 - +1.5?) but someone across the desk at say 4-6 feet will be not quite clear with or without the glasses. IOW, somewhere in between. I worked in an auto shop and my compromise was some +1.0 readers for general work under the hood where most things were 3-6 ft away. If I were in an office setting, I would go for a pair of progressive lenses... clear on top and say 2.0 for real close-up work. The last few years before retirement I worked outside and with the extra light, I found I didn't need any glasses unless I was trying to read a repair manual. I carried 1.5 readers for that. These days I am retired and very rarely use my readers unless I am grocery shopping and need to read the ingredients on a can of soup. BTW, I did have one eye done slightly stronger that the other. Took about 6 months for my brain to adjust but it works well in most cases... and helps mostly with that intermediate distance around 5-6 feet. (car dash as well)

@iol-adviser 4 месяца назад

monofocal calculated for infinity as a standard setup will give you a good sharp vision from about 2m and beyond. There are other setups available like -2 to give you reading ability but use of glasses for far vision. and vice versa - far setup for monofocal means near reading glasses

@aliciagriggs8531 2 года назад

On April 7, I had the Vivity IOL implanted in my left eye. My reason was because I had cataracts, narrow angles and my doctor told me that the Vivity IOL would give me no halos and I would no longer need glasses, except maybe for fine print. I don't know if they measured my eyes in correctly, but I am having several problems now. Immediately following the surgery I was able to see and was pleased with the absence of tan. However by the time I returned home which was about an hour after the surgery. I was not able to see (except for peripheral vision) because of corneal edema. I also paid extra for the laser, which may have been a bad decision. After the surgery the doctor told me that I would have more swelling than usual because my cataract was thick. The doctor's office also forgot to give me eye drops to begin taking before surgery. I am able to see now but I cannot read except with my old prescrption sunglasses. At night instead of having small halos from the cararact, now I see huge lines like whiskers across my field of vision, which is much worse than before the surgery. Other extremely annoying problems are a strobe like effect which happens when I am trying to to read or work on my computer, and I can see the edge of the lens so it feels like I am looking through a monocle. I was planning to have cataract surgery on my right eye, but now I don't know what to do. My right eye is my dominant eye, but I am at risk for narrow angle closure.

@iol-adviser 2 года назад

bad story :( I would suggest try another surgeon, as here is everything looks like not ideal technique or some surgical issues. however - it is just my expectations based on symptoms, so either ask your surgeon to comment ("thick lens" is nothing to explain, as lens thickness is evident before the surgery and if there is any risks, you should have been informed), or ask for a second opinion at other clinic...

@iol-adviser 2 года назад

it is absolutely subjective first and depends on eye status.. as an opposite example - just today I consulted the patient with Vivity, so he is not able to see as he said "anything that is not shining" - he can not drive with Vivity as he can see the light source, but can not see shadows, and in his case doctor have promised good vision based on "professional driver experience". This case was a doctor's mistake, who did not count in Vivity technology-specific light distribution.

If you want to observe night sky and this is the highest priority in your life, I suggest to think about monofocal lens.

Hi, I have had multifocal lenses. The night sky is important to me too and it never occurred to me that I may have problems after surgery. They still shine brightly, sometimes with a soft glow around them. After watching this video, I am REALLY hoping my brain will adapt. Also, looking at the moon is weird. I now see glare around it :( Again, I am hoping my brain will remove this information so I will not give it my attention. There are so many other benefits though. I am not sure what my decision would have been had I known this. Fingers crossed it will go away. I am only two months into my recovery. I hope that helps.

Thanks so much for posting this. I was trying to decide between two different lenses. After seeing this video, I decided to get Envista Toric monovision.
