I'm doing great, Thanks for asking. I have to admit I'm not sure what post capsule opacification is but I don't think I have that! So 2-1/2 years later I can say I am still very satisfied with my surgery. At almost 60 I have experienced my close up vision quality decrease by maybe 10% over the course of time but I still do not wear glasses. The nice thing is, if I am working on something very small (Think threading a needle) I can throw on a pair of cheaters and have Bionic vison (1970's TV reference) So, I am good!

How you doing man, since it's been about 2 years from this post do you have updates regarding quality of vision, post capsule opacification, or everything went well, thanks a lot for any new input. It seems this videonhelp a lot of people not only me.

Sure, having ridden since childhood, I was comfortable with pretty much any terrain at more or less any speed. What I recognized after missing a couple of g-outs at high speed was; I was riding by feel and reacting to the terrain by muscle memory rather than actual sight...not good for the body, and I've never felt unsafe on my bike until the ride I spoke of before surgery. Now I can easily look ahead a half mile or so and any distance back to my bike and see what I'm coming up on. I feel as comfortable now as I did when I was 25...it's a good feeling. I even went out and bought a new 300 as I plan on continuing to ride for quite some time. Hope that helps answer your question!

Tell me more about your dirt bike experience. I race enduro and want to know what to expect. Thanks!

Yes-3 weeks out, I more or less had the same experience. I would say 6 months out was about the time things really came a round to normal vision. Traffic lights were more of a starburst than a halo, especially green lights(?). Good Luck

The Halo question does come up quite a bit. Honestly, I don't even think about Halos' anymore as I don't have any that I notice. If they are there, my brain has moved past them without issue. I drive a lot at night and have zero issues. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi. Thank you. It was helpful. I have replaced on both eyes too. That was 3 weeks ago. But I have some issues with adaptation. Did you have in first 1-2 months blurry vision mostly on far vision? Same story with text. Doesn't matter, printed on paper, ot on TV. It looks like all subjects don't have stricts shapes, like on photo with not correct focus. Appears in dark time and sunny as well. Also traffic light has something like halo, but isn't. More like kaleidoscope effect.

Great video. I am looking for those who had done and you explained your experiences very well. I am worried about the halos. I am getting the lenses that fix astigmatism. It is going to cost 5000$ for the lenses. The procedure is covered. Thanks again for sharing

🎉 how much do you pay for? vivity

No problems with Haloes or Light sensitivity. Night vision is good, no issues there either. Good Luck!

Thanks for sharing, I’m scheduled for lens replacement this coming Dec , 59 years young here oldest Gen X , I also never liked wearing glasses a pain and it ages me by 10 years minimum 🥸

Good luck with your surgery. Honestly, based on my experience, if my surgeon were to suggest doing my non-dominant eye first, I would question why and ask for data supporting that this was the best protocol to follow...My doctor performed exhaustive testing and had a complete plan in place well before I went into to surgery, and to be fair, when asked which eye I wanted done first, I requested my right eye first because I am right handed (Frankly, that made no sense??) I really had a tough time after my first eye was done and I never adjusted until getting my dominant eye done. I'm all good now and maybe that's just my experience? Yep, love the watch. I hope you have taken a factory tour.

Thank you for sharing. I am due to be operated in two weeks for the first eye with Vivity. In my case, the surgeon wants to begin with my non-dominant eye. She believes that it would give her insights into how to best operate my dominant eye two weeks later. Your experience helps me to understand that I will have a hard time in between, and it will take time to adjust, but I’m convinced that the end result will be as good as for you. Incidentally, I wish to congratulate you for your watch. I live in Geneva, Switzerland, and from my home I can see their logo on their headquarter.

Just had my second eye done today with same lenses you went with. Pretty blurry. My first one with Panoptix was rather clear first day. Hoping this second clears up in a day or so. You’re dead on, $10k for me too.

Correct, I don't need glasses for anything day to day, my night vision took a little longer to come around than my day vision, but it's all good and the same now. Good luck

Hello! Question: In daily tasks, such as reading a book, newspaper, cell phone, computer, can you do this without problems with Vivity? In the dark, does it have the same quality of vision or does it change? Thanks!

Curious as to why some companies do both eyes together whereas others do both eyes at the same appointment?

How’s your near vision given the vivity lens corrects only distance and intermediate vision?

No need for glasses hardly ever. If I needed to thread a needle, for instance, readers may help however I don't know where my old glasses are anymore as I never need them. The halos cleaned up after 9 mos and are so insignificant that I don't even think about them. Night vision is great and yes, I would recommend Vivity. I'm not quite sure what trifocal you are speaking of, as my lenses are extended depth of focus and to the best of my knowledge, don't have trifocal rings of any sort. Good luck!

Thanks for your video and looking to get trifocal lens replacements done too.. are the halos in both eyes? My surgeon says halos can occur but some don't get them at all.. are you getting used to then? Do they bother you at night much? I heard trifocals are harder to see in low light.. is that your experience? Some people have reported their mid and long distance is worse post op.. hope that isn't the case.. would you say you have perfect clarity at all distances now without any need for glasses to date and would you still recommend the vivity lenses? Thank you.. really appreciate your reply

Floaters lots and lots of Floaters. I got some treated but still have lots. Thinking of maybe a vitreous swap out,but that does scare me a bit.

I did have the same experience. However it took about 4 to 6 months and that all went away. It was especially noticeable inside artificial lighting like grocery stores and malls. That's all gone away and my vision is great

What about the bouncyness? Or the feeling of my eyes fluttering...about 4 weeks post op

I had the pan optic in the right eye, Did not go well. Got better after the inter oculareye pressure return to normal. However the near and intermediate vision are poor, need 3.25 diopter to read a book and 2 diaopter to see the computer.

Good info 👍

Hello, No I have not. Since having the Vivity procedure, I haven't looked back! (Pun intended)

Did you hear about the lenses called “clear view 3” better than the Panoptics as far as halos at night? I have cataracts and need to have them done..Regards

Thanks for the info, I was getting ready to have that surgery and now I have second thoughts!

Also cost was $6500 for both eyes

I’m 66 cataracts were bad. Had them removed and new 3 tier lens installed. 2 weeks post op on second eye. I can’t believe how clear my vision is. Vision test came out 20/20. Vision was blurry for a while but is great now.

My experience was I had a cataract in my left eye which is my dominant eye ever though I am right handed. 6 December 2022 I had the Vivity lens put in, right away looking out the side of the patch I noticed the lights on the Christmas tree were brighter and more colorful than before, and like others had said all of a sudden white was white! 11 January 2024 the Opthamologist informed me that my right eye now needs to be replaced as well. 13 February 2024 I went to talk to him about maybe doing a micro-mono with my right eye, we discussed it at length and I told him manely want to see and focus on my cell at almost arms length, but only if it doesn't affect my distance and intermediate vision, he informed me of all his experience doing mono and mini-mono and the patients haven't been very happy. Micro-mono is normally about 0.5 diopter, he said he would give me 0.22 diopter or a micro-micro-mono, and my distance and intermediate I probably wouldn't notice a difference at all. Well I do notice a slight difference in the right eye when compared to the left, but at about 12 to 14 inches from my eyes my right eye can see clearly and focused, my left eye can barely do that at arms length and then the printing is to small to easily read. When watching TV at a distance of about 11 to 12 feet, with white print on a black background, left is is crystal clear, right eye is slightly blurry, alm9st like I see a slight vertical triple vision, a slight double above and below the main character on the screen. But with both eyes open the brain takes the best picture and uses that so I can see perfectly. I do know the correction needed was different for both eyes, ny left eye at Plano was +23.5 Diopters, my right eye was +24 Diopters. My right eye has the Acrysof.IQ Vivity Toric IOL, and my left is the new Clareon Vivity Toric IOL. As for dystosias I had none in my left eye but a year after I had my left eye was done I had a secondary cataract, laser surgery was used to remove it, then I got starbursts only in my left eye, but nothing yet in my right eye, but may get it if a secondary cataract should develop. But after a few months I did get used to it. Overall I am very happy with what my vision is, but I still find myself putting on reading glasses out of habit only, hard habit to break after 20 years. I did notice that finally Canada has something cheaper than the US, several thousand less, thank God!

Worthwhile video; thank you. It's now nearly two years since your surgery; how are you doing now? Any further remarks, pleas? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I am considering RLE with Vivity lenses myself. What was your glasses Rx before your surgery?

how are your halos now?

Good to get done while you are yonger.

Would cost that anyway because it is premium lens.

I'm not sure how describe the way I see colors in Kelvin, but I can say white is much whiter and colors are more vivid than I remember them. Overall, my best advice is, "Give it time". My vision didn't completely settle in for at least a year. I had a small floater that also has resolved itself. I hope that helps

Did you also have a change in the perception of color temperature? Because I still see cooler colors a month after the operation. (not warm 2700K but like 4000Kelvin) Thanks for your videos and work.

Yes-With Vivity, the halo effect is almost gone. It was the main reason I canceled the Pan Optix lens and went with Vivity

I have a large sparkling area around lights at night that make it very difficult to drive. Did they get rid of that?

That would definitely be a good question for your doctor. The dizziness I experienced resolved immediately after getting my second eye done. Good luck

Thank you--this is the lense I'm thinking of getting because of cataracts. You said you were dizzy at one point. I have dizziness issues--would the Vivity be ok for me? Thank you.

Hello-YES! I can easily track my tee shots, even in very low light as we are the first tee time on Sundays and tee off more or less in the dark. and I can now clearly see the ball when I tee it up. In fact I now focus on a very small spot on the ball in backswing which has improved my game. The new clubs on the other hand... :/. I guess it's not the arrow, it's the indian! The night time halos are almost completely gone and I'm still very happy with my results.

I'm scheduled to do my preop visit with the eye surgeon and then pick a lens option. I too am a golfer who has a hard time locating and following a golf ball because my right eye has medium to severe cataract and when I look out of it I see what looks like a morning fog. The optometrist says my right eye vision is about 20/2000. My question is has your golf game improved or the ability to track your ball improved, My left eye is a total different problem and I hope I can get that fixed with just Lasick or something like that.

The very sharpest and highest contrast distance vision is still the monofocal lens. Intermediate is decent too. Arm length and nearer slowly gets blurry and readers are needed for reading. Night driving is best with monofocal lens too not because of no halos but because 100% of the light is focused on the retina unlike the multifocal lens. As you age less light reaches the retina and multifocals make it worse. (age 73) Night driving and seeing in dim light is great.

That's not too much different for my experience. Which resolved itself over a few months. after a year. I'm almost completely clear of any halos

2 days after my vivity implant and day vision is pretty good. I have horrible diagonal lines while driving at night that span my entire field of vision. every traffic light, headlight, tail light and street light have sharp 45 degree bright lines of light. its overwhelming at a busy intersection. I hope this improves

To the beat of my recollection, it was labeled positive and negative. You can always use your multimeter to see which leg is the hot side?

How did you know which one of the two wires from the old panel was the positive and negative for the new panel? Or does it not matter?

How much is the procedure? Thanks
