Professional articles in both Optometry and Ophthalmology journals have been discussing the illegality automatic kickbacks for cataract patient referrals for the past year. In this video, I hope to shed light a...

    I have a very severe astigmatism ..I am planning to have cataract surgery in Jan and was informed they could not correct my astigmatism completely due to it being so bad lol....they could reduce it and id still need correction (glasses) .... I am wondering if its beneficial for me to have them correct what they can, as I do suffer with distortion, especially when I'm super active..even driving at night. I just want to improve my vision and am willing to take any correction offered even if need glasses...I just want to be sure it will improve my vision if I'm paying 1700.00 and eye.... SO my question is id it a benefit to me to get the Toric leses even if it doesn't fully correct my astigmatism?? Id be so thankful for a reply here....or if anyone else has had this experience, they cld give me the pro's or cons :) Did you benefit from it?

    Great video and thanks for the information. My question is: is it worth to tackle the astigmatism and the catarract separately? I.e. correct the astigmatism via LASIK and then use a non-toric IOL for the catarract? And not necessarily in that order? I can see an obvious disadvantage to that: 2 surgeries on the eye as opposed to 1. But perhaps the end result can end up better? I’m thinking that if the astigmatism is cleared out via LASIK, then perhaps better choices would open up for IOLs.

    They don’t tell you about having a detached retina after this surgery. Nobody reports this so there is no record. Beware if you find more floaters you are not a candidate for yag surgery.

    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.

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?

    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?
