Probably one of the best day in the life videos I've ever seen. You actually show patient interactions and what you're doing without a ton of edits. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, doctor, especially since I'm interested in specializing in optho in three years.
Best day in the life video I've ever seen put on youtube. Thank you for your in-depth descriptions, and for the work you do! Your standards are high and I can see through the video how hard you and your team work. This is a very interesting specialty. I wish you many good years ahead!
last year I was a 4th year medical student in canada, not sure I wanted to do. But thanks to your video I got inspired. I'm currently a R1 in ophthalmology in Canada and looking forward to learn new skills. Thanks for the inspiration Dr. Wong!
In this day and age, given the spectrum of opinion on COVID, I have a mask ready to use at all times. Personally, I have had COVID, and the vax. I am done with COVID personally. But if I don't have a mask, I believe some patients would be uncomfortable. If the patient wears a mask during the exam, I mirror the patient. If the patient is comfortable not wearing a mask during the exam, then I don't wear mine either. Pretty PC huh?
@@ShannonWongMD Hmm, not sure I understand the logic of being "done with COVID personally." I understand that you have had COVID and gotten two doses of mRNA early this year. However, at 41:38, the patient is wearing a mask and you're not. Definitely some mixed signals
@@NickzAndMikz ı f you are an ophtalmologist you will understand mr wongs suffering :) Masks are pain in the ass when it comes to examining a patient . because you use optic lenses for examination or doing laser procedures but all of them will get blury and foggy with mask s unfortunately
I’m an Optometry student in Australia and I really like how you speak to your patients and your patient centred care approach you take when explaining management options. Keep these coming!

Wow! Fantastic video including the details about the incredible work ethic that makes it all possible. I love this video and will be promoting it to my CataractCoach fans.
Hi Dr. Wong, I watched a couple of your cataract videos prior to scheduling my own surgery. I gained great insight with many questions answered. When I finally decided on my surgery team, I hit the jackpot! My doctor was also very caring and I was grateful for his E.I. I had 2 surgeries; astigmatism and myopia off the chart. Partial Yag and manual. Limited funds.. regular IOl perfect distance and regular readers. My floaters scared the hell out of me but I knew what they were. I was one step away from being legally blind and I thank you for the knowledge and my team for the surgery!
I like the "day in a life" videos that people do and this is a good one of you. I am glad that you are a hard worker and you have a lot of good employees helping you help people in need of vision care. Thank you.
As a first year medical student, this day in the life has been absolutely phenomenal in letting me see (pun intended) the life of a privately practicing opthalmologist. Very educational.
Each ophthalmologist follows a unique career path. My path is only one way. You are only limited by your imagination and the will to make your imagination a reality.
Thank you Dr.Wong, for an absolutely amazing “day in the life” video that gives the proper attention to such an important field! More interested in optho than ever! Working with a few neuro-opthos right now and I’m so impressed and intrigued by their scope, especially in conjunction with neurosurgeons and neuro interventionists 🤝👍

Great job... I'm 53 years old and I have AcrySof IQ PanOptix in my right eye (I had cataract) for a month and for now I'm very satisfied. Greetings from Portugal...
Nice video with a lot of information and love seeing how your day as a doctor ( and probably all doctors) are on a daily basis. You appear to really care about your patients and that's very comforting for those requiring treatment . Your video's are educational for the layman and educational for students going into this field of eye care . 👍 Thank you and your patients who agreed to this video.
What a fantastic daily journey, thank you so much. Had cataract surgery on left eye done 6 days ago. Had the Alcon Vivity lens inserted & all went well!
Your drive is exemplary. You Sir.... are a role model. Thank you for not just sharing a day in your life, but so much knowledge (and insight for someone who just had his second Pan Optics implanted today).
Hi! it is nice to be a great opthalmologist surgeon and sir you are honoured with this profession of bringing back the light of a person's eye I am a medical student and completing my study. sir! can you give your guidelines for getting residency in it.
Not sure how I stumbled on to this, but you sound like a great boss. It’s also refreshing to hear from someone who appreciates the police, instead of judging them by their worst example.

Thanks for sharing Sir!! You are selfless and really cares for all your staffs and patients!! Wish I can go to Austin and have my eye done with you!! / from small town in WI
I'm very inspired by washing this video. Like I'm only 15 years and I feels like all my dreams are right before me; imagining I'm performing these surgeries. Thanks Doctor Wong for this inspirational video.
About 3 years ago i accidentally got poorly diluted carrot seed essential oil in both my eyes I didnt rinse it enough i freaked out and started to cry after that it didnt sting anymore so i went to bed. The next morning I felt slight burning so i went to the ophtam and they said no serrious eye damage was done. But ever since that i depend on artificial tears. Doctors then suspected sjogrens since schrimer test was 0mm on both eyes. I also sometimes have very dry mouth and dry skin. Lab tests were negative. I am certain that my dry eyes are a result of that burn😢
Great video, with exceptional transparency. I am a owner/ ophthalmologist and my life is very similar yet the scale is different. I really appreciate your honesty. More power to you brother.
Hello Dr. Wong, My name is Madelyn Ruiz. I’m a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin on a premed track. This evening I came across your “day in my life” video on UA-cam and appreciated how you not only touched on how to be a professional, but also how to evolve in other areas. Thank you for reaffirming that since my dad is always telling me how to be a servant leader and putting others above myself. My dad also liked your Tesla video he just got an s plaid this Christmas. Anyways, happy holidays!
I think this Dr is really on top of it. Found his emphasis on his personal health care interesting and informative. Just had cataract surgery myself in Texas.
Hello Dr Wong. Thank you so much for this very informative video. It really does help in choosing a field in medicine to go into. I'm in med school in London and have just finished 3 weeks of clinical rotations in optho. I sat and observed many clinics ranging from medical Retina, Uveutis, cataract, glaucoma and eye casualty. Pardon the pun but it has really opened my eyes to this field of medicine and ive enjoyed every second of it. In my opinion, Schools do not put heavy emphasis in ophthalmology so students tend to be dismissive until they are actually in the setting. In some sense, it isn't as glamorous from a media point of view as perhaps other known specialties like ER or Cardiac Surgery- so the perception is that its secondary or even tertiary to other fields. In some sense that may be the case, i.e. compared to ER trauma but when compared to other chronic treating areas of medicine, I think it doesn't get the praise it deserves. In any case, thank you for the wonderful work that you do.
You are amazing ! Wish you lived in Northern California! Anyway we have very good eye 👁 doctors here_ Just love your videos! I have a cataract in right eye going to get get a synergy or Vivity 👁
This was an amazing and inspirational video! I am going into my 2nd year of medical school and want to practice Ophthalmology. My goal is to match into the residency program in Austin and start my life and career there in Texas. Thank you for helping me realize that it will all be worth it one day.
I agree I live in northern CA Sonoma county, I interviewed several cataract doctors , I like the EYE Institute SR i will probably have my right eye cataract surgery there ! I going to get a Either the Vivity or Synergy implant 👁
Hello sir, i will be glad and grateful, if you tell me, should i get lasik surgery?? My left eye -9.5 and right one -10.5! I was using eye glass since 2006!
I will have to have IV sedation when I have cataract surgery in the future. It is surprising that some people do not have IV sedation when having eye surgery.
My husband experienced an episode of BPPV ( vertigo) very recently. During the procedure/operation you perform, can the patient be placed differently to avoid such an episode, meaning can the head be elevated for the patient? I saw the entire video and I want to thank you for giving us an opportunity to understand the work you do with your team.
Hi All, I have completed cataract surgery last 15/9/21. Now I am free from contact lenses & thick glasses😃. May need reading spec but it is okey...All videos shared by Dr Shanon are really helpful & gain a lots of best practices for me.Thank you very much Dr Shanon...😉
Dr. Shannon Wong, about three months ago I had cataract surgery and IOL PanOptix lens implant on my right eye. To this day, experiencing light film cloud vision and extreme halo and starburst. My Dr. recommended YAG laser to correct my vision. Is it common to develop Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) to a PanOptix implant after three months of cataract surgery? I've been watching your channel for months and very impressed with your experience and honesty. Wish I have known you before committing to a different doctor. Thank you.
Dr. Great vlog. Dogs eat very early. My dogs only gets out of their beds around 7am :). Admire your work ethics. Just watching and observing what Dr. is saying the first 30 minutes I can say you're "disciplined". That's why you are who you are....successful in the way you want to be. Thank you Doc.
This is a really great Doctor i would want him to do my cataract procedure if I did live so far from him he's very thorough I, live in Florida wish I was closer
My one eye was slightly pressed while sleeping. I notice that one eye is slightly inward as compare to other. So will it come on its normal position ?? Without any treatment

How did you end up in Texas for practice? What made you leave China to Texas of all places? Was the transition difficult and was English a barrier in the beginning? How long did it take to do the necessary exams so you could legally practice in the USA?
A month ago today an eye surgeon did surgery to correct cataract mess up, jell coming from under cataract now HE MESSED UP He jumped up from his stool when he checked his work. Stating that jell had midigated to the hooks he put in for the surgery and my pupil is now oval. My eye aches the throbs gives me headaches can not go outside without sunglasses. Should I let him do surgery to correct his mess and will he be responsible for the entire cost of the second surgery, please help.
I'm setting up to video my surgeries with an EOS 7D and a beamsplitter on a Zeiss microscope. What is your video setup? What camera, adapter, settings and so on? Thanks, Michael Guerra, MD Kerrville, Texas
I have a question to ophthalmologists, not about diseases but about specific device. I am from Ukraine and i know that our medicine is bad however i am concerned about one device ophthalmology use. It was found that i have eye nerve atrophy and i was under suspision of having glaucoma. They sent me do department where they treat people with glaucoma (mostly), there were a lot of old people and blablabla. They injected them (and me for some reason) some vitamins for a week, injected some medicine under an eye, checked my range of vision (or periphery, i am not sure how you call it) on some device and did OCT and its fine but there also were some glasses with just red diodes on them that was blinking with about 0.5 second interval. When i moved to poland, i've never seen such device and couldn't even google it. The only science article i found was some old soviet article from 1974 that stated that such device kinda irritate eye nerve and force it to work more and as a result leads to slowing down atrophy. I wonder does anybody know about such device and its effectiveness or it is most likely soviet union scientists just made bad artiicle but doctors from post soviet countries kinda went with it and in reality it is useless thing. ? P.s. Just to be clear it wasn't glasses that you wear for a long time. I was just sitting on chair and they close one of my eyes, turn on these glasses and red diode blinking right before my eyes (it is mounted where "glass" of glasses should be) for a few minutes and then doing same thing for another eye.
Thank you for your videos. They are so informative. If you would permit a question. I live in Vancouver BC Canada and had cataract surgery in April and May. I wanted to see without glasses and thought Eyhance IOLs would do that for me. Since then I have had a shadow in my left eye and, later, developed many round dots with black spots and some cloudiness. How long should I wait for my brain to adjust? What questions should I ask to know if I am a candidate for YAG?
My big black floater is vert uncomfortable. I lost my sleep because my brain can't adapt. Please help. I already consulted but the doctors hesitate to perform yag vitreolysis 😭😔😥
hello Dr. Wong, enjoyed the video. How did you learn the business side of medicine? I am a primary care physician and have looked into this but find that the information is hard to come by sometimes.
It starts with learning billing and coding, then insurance contracts, then following the reimbursement for services provided from the various insurance companies, then understanding the cost of hiring/training/retaining/developing quality staff, rent, and overhead expenses. I'd bet that most doctors don't understand the above.
What are your thoughts on allowing ODs to perform YAG procedures as more states are allowing optometrists to do so? Would it be beneficial to the patients and the practice?
@@ShannonWongMD 👍👍 also your videos are very inspirational! Hope to be an ophthalmologist one day! If you're looking for a another surgeon in about 10 years, let me know 😂
I really appreciate hearing you praise your staff. I have been a tech, COMT for 20 plus years and some Doctors don’t give us the credit we deserve. I heard you say that a well educated and strong staff makes your job better as well as better pt care.
Dr. Wong, great video of a next level ophthalmology master. what's the app (ipad) you used to show patient diagrams of the procedure or of eye anatomy?
The ratio of premium vs basic cataract surgery (12 vs 2) is surprising. The practice must have an upscale clientele and must be more aggressive and willing to provide premium IOLs to patients with less than perfect eyes than other practices. My doctor does less than 50% premium IOLs and is very conservative about who he will provide them to.
As expected - hands-down, the best “day in the life” video I’ve seen. Dr Wong, you’re a hard worker and an inspiration. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos
Thank you Anton!

I must ask, what's the point of the mask if it's on your chin though and half of the patients aren't wearing them?

But if I don't have a mask, I believe some patients would be uncomfortable. If the patient wears a mask during the exam, I mirror the patient.

@@ShannonWongMD Hmm, not sure I understand the logic of being "done with COVID personally." I understand that you have had COVID and gotten two doses of mRNA early this year. However, at 41:38, the patient is wearing a mask and you're not. Definitely some mixed signals

My Dr. recommended YAG laser to correct my vision. Is it common to develop Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) to a PanOptix implant after three months of cataract surgery? I've been watching your channel for months and very impressed with your experience and honesty. Wish I have known you before committing to a different doctor.
Thank you.
Posterior capsule opacification is common in the first 3 months after surgery.
@@ShannonWongMD Thank you for replying.
Dr. Great vlog. Dogs eat very early. My dogs only gets out of their beds around 7am :). Admire your work ethics. Just watching and observing what Dr. is saying the first 30 minutes I can say you're "disciplined". That's why you are who you are....successful in the way you want to be. Thank you Doc.
Thanks for watching!
This is a really great Doctor i would want him to do my cataract procedure if I did live so far from him he's very thorough I, live in Florida wish I was closer

Awesome office and practice doctor thank you for all the videos you do
I'm setting up to video my surgeries with an EOS 7D and a beamsplitter on a Zeiss microscope. What is your video setup? What camera, adapter, settings and so on? Thanks, Michael Guerra, MD Kerrville, Texas
Any comment on Light Adaptive Lens? Will this be coming to your practice?
City wide vision is in air and magnetic density is important and long range treatment and food and polution control is very important
I have a question to ophthalmologists, not about diseases but about specific device.
I am from Ukraine and i know that our medicine is bad however i am concerned about one device ophthalmology use. It was found that i have eye nerve atrophy and i was under suspision of having glaucoma. They sent me do department where they treat people with glaucoma (mostly), there were a lot of old people and blablabla. They injected them (and me for some reason) some vitamins for a week, injected some medicine under an eye, checked my range of vision (or periphery, i am not sure how you call it) on some device and did OCT and its fine but there also were some glasses with just red diodes on them that was blinking with about 0.5 second interval. When i moved to poland, i've never seen such device and couldn't even google it. The only science article i found was some old soviet article from 1974 that stated that such device kinda irritate eye nerve and force it to work more and as a result leads to slowing down atrophy.
I wonder does anybody know about such device and its effectiveness or it is most likely soviet union scientists just made bad artiicle but doctors from post soviet countries kinda went with it and in reality it is useless thing. ?
P.s. Just to be clear it wasn't glasses that you wear for a long time. I was just sitting on chair and they close one of my eyes, turn on these glasses and red diode blinking right before my eyes (it is mounted where "glass" of glasses should be) for a few minutes and then doing same thing for another eye.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this Sir!
This is so wise, I love it
Thank you for your videos. They are so informative. If you would permit a question. I live in Vancouver BC Canada and had cataract surgery in April and May. I wanted to see without glasses and thought Eyhance IOLs would do that for me. Since then I have had a shadow in my left eye and, later, developed many round dots with black spots and some cloudiness. How long should I wait for my brain to adjust? What questions should I ask to know if I am a candidate for YAG?
Wow. What an intense day. Thank you for the insights into your daily work.
Thank you Dr Wong for shering, what an amazing day
How to do you prepare patient fir cataract surgery
My big black floater is vert uncomfortable. I lost my sleep because my brain can't adapt. Please help. I already consulted but the doctors hesitate to perform yag vitreolysis 😭😔😥
What is the best non-intrusive opthalmologic
Great and very productive day , what is the name of patients operating table .?
I believe sound and electrodynamic effect may correct vision with less surgical
hello Dr. Wong, enjoyed the video. How did you learn the business side of medicine? I am a primary care physician and have looked into this but find that the information is hard to come by sometimes.
It starts with learning billing and coding, then insurance contracts, then following the reimbursement for services provided from the various insurance companies, then understanding the cost of hiring/training/retaining/developing quality staff, rent, and overhead expenses. I'd bet that most doctors don't understand the above.
The King is back !
Incredible day ,: you make time for exercise , preparation
Awesome! Thanks. God bless 🙂
God bless you how I wish I had a doctor like you.
Two eye cataract surgery how much
What are your thoughts on allowing ODs to perform YAG procedures as more states are allowing optometrists to do so? Would it be beneficial to the patients and the practice?
I am not in favor of OD's doing YAG laser procedures - capsulotomy, iridotomy, etc.
@@ShannonWongMD 👍👍 also your videos are very inspirational! Hope to be an ophthalmologist one day! If you're looking for a another surgeon in about 10 years, let me know 😂
I really appreciate hearing you praise your staff. I have been a tech, COMT for 20 plus years and some Doctors don’t give us the credit we deserve. I heard you say that a well educated and strong staff makes your job better as well as better pt care.
Dr. Wong, great video of a next level ophthalmology master. what's the app (ipad) you used to show patient diagrams of the procedure or of eye anatomy?

Hi can u take a look at my eye picture I took I want to know if you could tell me what surgery will help fix my condition.
Helo sir. My daughter has nevus of ota she has pigmentation in eye. Black pigment
The ratio of premium vs basic cataract surgery (12 vs 2) is surprising. The practice must have an upscale clientele and must be more aggressive and willing to provide premium IOLs to patients with less than perfect eyes than other practices. My doctor does less than 50% premium IOLs and is very conservative about who he will provide them to.
