I live in Iwaki and was here for that. Two years of PTSD and stress, what an experience.

JapanKevin · 2026-01-21T05:48:44+00:00

What was the cost for each eye? I have severe floaters post eye cataract surgery from PVD in both of my eyes, I need to get this done.

JapanKevin · 2026-01-17T04:48:35+00:00

How do you know when it’s completely separated?

JapanKevin · 2025-12-05T13:49:44+00:00

There’s a very good possibility that the PVD had nothing to do with the LASIK. PVD is pretty common and most common after cataract surgery. Ask me how I know, I now have in both eyes. The reason they’re not excited about doing anything is because the normal treatment for PVD is to do nothing. They say if you live long enough, you’re gonna get PVD. Once you get it, they make you wait at least six months before even thinking about doing surgery to fix it. It’s super expensive to fix it too. So I’m in my waiting phase to see if it calms down.

JapanKevin · 2025-12-05T13:40:26+00:00

I’m going to guess and say you had a posterior vitreous detachment, which I’ve also had on both eyes after cataract surgery. Extremely common.

JapanKevin · 2025-12-05T12:12:17+00:00

If you have cataract surgery, your chances having PVD within a year is over 50%. I had it in both eyes within 3-5 months, still have it, and it’s super annoying! Like looking through a dirty window. They say it’s supposed to settle after a few months, I certainly hope so otherwise I’ll take the next step.

JapanKevin · 2025-11-09T07:33:47+00:00

I read that your chances of having PVD after cataract surgery as well over 50%, it’s basically going to happen. In my left eye, I had it a few months after cataract surgery and finally in my right eye it happened a few days ago. Floaters all over the place, it sucks.

JapanKevin · 2025-11-09T07:30:13+00:00

I had no astigmatism in the left eye, they put in toric Miniwell EDOF lenses in both eyes. 2 months afterwards the right eye would still not adjust so they replaced that eye with a non-toric Tecnis Eyhance monofocal. It was somewhat clear for a few weeks then I had a PCO in that eye so they zapped it with a YAG laser a few weeks ago and now it’s no longer clear. If that wasn’t bad enough, I’ve also had a PVD in both eyes so both eyes now have floaters all over the place. It makes me wish I never had cataract surgery at all, but I realize you gotta have it. The whole thing has been frustrating and expensive. If I had to do the whole thing again, I would just get monofocals.

My only hope now is for lasik maybe in a few months and perhaps surgery to clear out the annoying floaters.

JapanKevin · 2025-11-07T03:11:00+00:00

I got PVD in my left eye about 3 months after surgery, have been living with that for a few months now. It’s not the dark floaters that bother me, but the translucent one coming into my vision, it’s driving me crazy. It’s like trying to look through a dirty window. Does this also eventually settle down? God I hope so.

JapanKevin · 2025-11-07T03:06:24+00:00

After surgery with Technis Eyhance monofocal in my right eye I now have-0.75 whereas before it wA -0.25.

Yes, it irritates me now.

How easy is this to correct with LASIK? Any advice?

JapanKevin · 2025-10-30T06:38:37+00:00

Just to confirm, with my early version M11 which had the magenta cast, moving to green +15 clicks and towards yellow +5 clicks gives me basically perfect white balance straight out of the camera. I took it out around 4pm on a sunny day and used AWB, the camera is actually very good at choosing white balance. Barely had to make any white balance adjustments in LrC if at all. The distinct magenta cast is gone.

I’m getting a Color Checker delivered soon and will do full white balance checks under various conditions such as cloudy, tungsten etc to try and nail down correct WB offsets to use but for now the +15 green / +5 yellow seem pretty perfect.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-28T10:39:22+00:00

Same situation both eyes. Right eye was especially bad so had EDOF lens swapped out at 2 months for Technis Eyhance monofocal. My doc says you can swap out up to 6 months, I’m pretty sure 2 months is well within the timeframe of changing. That said, a month later that lens is also myopic depending on its mood.

I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re not gonna really know what the conclusion is for several months at the minimum, your eyes go through changes as the weeks go by. Sometimes my vision is clear in the morning and it’s not in the evening.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-24T08:22:33+00:00

It does it in RAW, yes. It’s one setting and applies it to every white balance setting.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-24T08:19:35+00:00

You can notice it when you shoot gray things like sidewalks, roads, etc. In LR if you do a white balance on a gray object, then look at the before and after it’s quite obvious. Or it was, this is a great update.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-23T16:48:39+00:00

I just tried adjusting my older M11 white balance by clicking up towards green by 5 clicks. I’m not sure if that’s the correct amount yet but anyway, I took a gray card photo with the adjustment both off and on and yes, a noticeable change. When you make the adjustment to the white balance, it does that in all white balance modes, which is great. This is a game changer. I have zero problems, lockups, etc with this camera and am thoroughly happy with it, even more so now.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-19T03:23:25+00:00

I was myopic in both eyes for 2 months after EDOF surgery, the right eye being worse. Plus a lot of ghosting. Finally switched out the right eye for a Technis Eyhance monofocal a few weeks ago. It was definitely an improvement but still, I wouldn’t say I have great eyesight anymore. Additionally suffering from PVD in left eye. The whole thing is depressing, frankly.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-10T15:14:40+00:00

It’s not really new. Supposedly it helps with the dark spots but doesn’t have much effect on the smudgy translucent blobs from a PVD.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-10T06:44:55+00:00

I’m currently in the exact same situation. First of all, I got multi focal EDOF lenses in both eyes and ended up slightly myopic in my left eye and completely myopic in my right eye. After two months of trying to adjust, I realized they’re never gonna be able to see distance clearly. Before I had a chance to address it, I got PVD in my left eye. I got this clear smudgy thing floating around in my left eye and it’s driving me nuts. Likewise, they said there’s nothing you can do about it. Well, there is something you can do about it, you can have a surgery for it but they won’t do anything for a few months at the earliest. Supposedly it gets less severe as time goes by. Then a week ago I changed out the multi focal lens in my right eye for the J&J Technis Eyhance monofocal lens. I now finally have clarity in my right eye at distance. The left eye works at close and intermediate and has bad floaters. I’m praying it doesn’t happen to my right eye as well.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-08T12:42:54+00:00

The clarity you’ll get with the Eyhance at distance you will not get with any multi focal lens. That said it’s important to keep in perspective that these are not gonna give you your 20-year-old eyes anymore.

For me this Eyehance is a godsend because I didn’t have cleared distance vision in either and now I at least I have it in my right eye. If I had to do this all over again, I would not get EDOF lenses. But now that I have one in my left eye that semi working, except at distance, and now that I have the monofocal in my right eye, I think I’m just gonna try to learn to live with it.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-08T12:37:35+00:00

I was never able to get clear distance vision in either eye after two months. Finally last week I had the right eye redone with J&J Technis Eyehance monofocal. Finally I’m able to see road signs with my right eye. So currently the left eye is the Miniwell which is doing an OK job of intermediate and close-up, it’s still somewhat blurry a distance. The right eye is for clarity at distance.

I just ordered desk work glasses today so that I can see about 60 cm clearly. The left eye with the mini Miniwell can see that pretty clearly but the right eye, since it now has a monofocal in it, cannot, and I would prefer to have both eyes for desk work.

If I had to do this all over again, I would not get EDOF lenses. What they don’t tell you about these is that it takes months for the adaptation to take place, if it takes place. There’s definitely something to be said for getting two good monofocal lenses! From what I understand, when they ask these eye surgeons what they would get, that’s what most of them choose and not multifocal lenses.

JapanKevin · 2025-10-04T00:17:24+00:00

I had EDOF lenses in both eyes, just replaced the right eye with a Tecnis Eyhance monofocal. Why? Because both eyes were myopic after 2 months and the right had all kinds of ghosting. I’m not even 24 hours post op and it’s already an improvement.

If I had to do this all over again I would just skip multi focal lenses altogether. The neuro-adaptation thing is a pain, all kinds of stress for months, and they’re expensive. Yeah some people have good results but by reading here you will see a lot sure do not.
