Minutes before, he could barely recognize faces. After one eye procedure, he could see clearly again 🩺 What was removed? A) Retina B) Cornea C) Blood clot D) Clouded lens #MedEd

Please tell me they put me to sleep for this I have to get this tommorow

Most patients are awake with the eye fully numbed. Tell your surgical team you’re anxious so they can discuss sedation options.

How did humans even figure out they can do this daymn .

Years of surgical innovation - and an incredibly steady hand 😅

It's kinda satisfying how it just gets vacuumed up and then you can see the clear black of the pupil again

Oddly satisfying - and even better when you remember how much vision it can restore.

Done on both my eyes. Amazing before vs after. Only took a few minutes

Amazing! Glad both procedures were quick and successful. 👏

Clouded lens

Exactly ✅

I had this procedure done. They did my left eye in March and my right eye in May. Before surgery, I could not recognize peoples faces. Now everything is bright and I don’t need glasses no more.

What an incredible result. Thank you for sharing your experience - glad both procedures went so well! 👏

They put air bubbles in her eyes

Que ven las personas cuando les hacen esto?

Will it grow back tho?

The cataract itself cannot grow back, but the capsule behind the artificial lens may become cloudy later and can usually be treated with a quick laser procedure.

Whats that white thing blocking the eye? A puss?

That white material is the clouded natural lens - not pus.

So a couple of suction tube and a surgical instrument for break the whitish substance covering the pupil and then get sucked out right?

Exactly - the cloudy lens is broken into small fragments, removed, and replaced with a clear artificial lens.

Hey @grok are people awake for this cleaning?

Incredibly satisfying thoo. Once you get past the eye part.

Hey does this company help blind people see again

It can restore vision when a cataract is the cause, but unfortunately it cannot treat every form of blindness.

The patient is about to see the world in ultra HD resolution 😎 🤣

Ultra HD vision unlocked 😎

Is it real surgery? I'm totally shocked.

Yes, it’s real cataract surgery. The clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one.

Lens. My mother is about to have this procedure in both eyes

Correct - the clouded lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. Wishing your mother a smooth procedure and recovery! 🙏

It truly takes immense courage for someone to undergo this surgery.

Absolutely. It takes courage, although the eye is numbed and the procedure is usually quite quick.

Thật là thỏa mãn một cách nào đó khi nó chỉ bị hút sạch đi và rồi bạn lại có thể nhìn thấy màu đen rõ nét của đồng tử một lần nữa

Ts is the least satisfying satisfying shit oat

Fair enough - the eye part definitely isn’t for everyone 😅

I know he can see colors he ain’t saw before

Is the person awake?? Ffs

D.

duude, to make this on my you should kill me first, or imma fucking blink all the time

That fear is understandable 😅 Anyone this anxious should tell the surgeon beforehand so sedation options can be discussed.

Wowww

Wow
