Hi,
I’d like to ask those who have either Tecnis 1 ZCB00 or Eyhance to share their results, incuding age, please.
My wife, who just turned 73, recently had both eyes implanted with the Eyhance. Her distance vision is 20/25, which she experiences as clear, sharp, and entirely satisfactory. She comfortably uses her MacBook laptop. She uses readers for closer-in reading.
Is Tecnis 1 ZCB00 a product similar to Eyhance? I take it is not the regular Tecnis 1?
Same thing
I had the Tecnis 1 ZCBOO implanted in both eyes and they were targeted for Intermediate vision. My results are 20/20 distance, very good intermediate, ( I can see computer clearly). In strong light I can read small print, but for sustained print reading or in not so strong light, I use prescription readers.
All eyes are different. Surgical outcomes will vary from patient to patient. I made sure to use a lubricating eye drop for my eyes daily for six weeks prior to surgery and before my measurements were taken. I went to 3 different surgeons and got opinions. I even emailed cataract surgeons out of state for advice, some of whom replied. Even my surgeon was surprised at how well I was seeing afterwards
Any dysphotopsia?
Any dysphotopsia?
u r getting 20/20 distance due to binocular summation. what power readers do you need for close reading?
no
I don’t remember. I don’t use them that often. My dr said my uncorrected astigmatism and targeting intermediate gave me 20/20 vision because of where the axis fell.
You did really well in the way you handled this! 3 surgeons and I have only been to one!! That may inspire me to go to another one. I never knew about lubricating drops before the measurements! One learns a lot from this site!! It sounds like you have had excellent luck and it is encouraging to think that your hard work may well have contributed!
BTW, why did you pick Tecnis 1 ZCB00 and not Clareon or Eyhance?
- My drs group only does Johnson and Johnson. 2. The Tecnis has a 10 year track record. Eyhance does not. 3. One dr told me my astigmatism would be easier to correct with a pure monofocal like the Tecnis if I had to wear eyeglasses, as my dr and I thought I would after surgery. But as it was, I really didn’t need glasses after all.
10 year track record is meaningful. Thanks!
Are you aware how big is your night time pupil in mm ?
No
More or less?
My iolmaster 700 pupil size measured at 4.3mm, at first I saw cartwheel halos when my pupil was dilated much bigger than the lens itself, however those went away once the pupil went back to ‘normal’. I was concerned about the size of the optics because i have cats eyes, but I haven’t had any problems with that for the few days / nights i’ve had tecnis1 on my dominant eye. I’m 44 years old. Also the driving vision is pretty incredible and lights look great again.
Tecnis1 has been used for a very long time and it’s a dependable lens. Our university hospital uses it pretty extensively.
I had my surgery on friday. Image was superhuman on the first night / day, but towards the afternoon of that day i started getting ghosting. I can’t get a 100% focus anywhere without glasses, there’s just a minor amount of ghosting, enough to make reading smaller things difficult.
With readers I get the sharp vision back, not 100% what’s going on but the surgeon said it’s probably swelling on the eye and that this is normal. It’s only been a couple of days so i’ll keep monitoring the situation. Other than that the image color and contrast are unbelievable, once i get the superhuman sharpness back it’s going to be pretty incredible also.
Anycase, my symptoms don’t have anything to do with the lens itself, just biology. Tecnis1 is a bit sensitive to great placement as it sets your spherical aberration to near zero, so hopefully mine is fully centered. Because my glasses vision is great i’m expecting it to be the case. Just hoping to heal quickly.
So you do have PD at night now or not?
at 4.6mm mesopic pupil i doubt he will have any PD.
Well, I think about a year ago when I was wearing eyeglasses and my optician was adjusting them, I think he mentioned I had small pupils. And they do look small to me in the mirror
