    it is now Oct 2024. Thank you for the great video explaining Astigmatism and the Toric lenses to correct this in the eyes. I go in for my measurements in a couple of days and planning to go for the Mono Focal lenses for "Distance". I know I have an Astigmatism in the eyes and will discuss recommendations with the Doctor on best way to go. Insurance does not cover the high cost of Astigmatism lenses, so if I can do the same thing with additional glasses, I will go that route. Thanks for the video. Take care.

    Iris damage can be prevented or lessened but it's sometimes inevitable. You acting as if it's somehow always a results of the surgeons ineptitude is going to bite you in the ass eventually.

    Thank You. Excellent educational video. I had cataract surgery on my left eye 6 weeks ago. I have one Vivity Toric IOL lens for my left eye AND A vivity IOL in my right eye for one week now. My right eye is still trying to adjust and settle down and my right eye seems fine. I can feel the Toric lens but I do t feel the one in my right eye. I am told this is normal

    Dr. Tokuhara, you mention that the "likes" will increase the visibility of your videos. I believe engagement from your end will also bump your videos up, as they should be. You provide great explanations and make these procedures easy to understand. I'm a victim of a botched cataract surgery, ruptured the capsule, then instead of the multifocal I was counting on, he put in a near lens with the incorrect power. I am able to focus about 12" from my face while years earlier he had done Lasik and made that my distance eye. Big screw up. Looking for a doctor with your expertise in the Southeast. Any recommendations?

    Choose a cataract surgeon who can do laser surgery if lens power is miscalculated or make sure they have a policy to pay for a laser surgery to repair the miscalculated lens.

    I have a Toric monofocal lens in my right eye and its perfect. My left eye is due in another 6 months (NHS appointment) they do not have the toric lens but only the basic monofocal lens. The doctor said my astigmatism is very low so I will not nee the toric lens. What do I do - do I go private and insist on the toric lens?

    Is it better to ask for EDOF Toric lens or it’s better to have just Toric Monofocal? I need to be able to see piano notes well at the distance of 1-1.5 meters, distance and computer would be nice. And not compromise night vision and contrast. What do you think? Would EDOF Toric would be still better than Monofocal Toric? My astigmatism is max -2.00
