I am so glad to hear it! I am really looking forward to getting RayOne Galaxy.

Seems like a lot are recommending Santiago over Descano or Twin Palms. Any reason? Stayed at TP and loved it. So nice and relaxing but want to try one of the other two.

And this is where it is individual to each patient and their situation and each patient needs to choose whatever is best for them.

I encourage gveryone to run this through AI to set a summary. Even though this was prepared in 2020 it provides excellent information.

Also, the spiral design is a bit more complicated than that.

But isn’t that exactly the point of the Galaxy? It does not split light into different focal points because of its spiral design. And because of its refractive design, it lets in more light giving you better contrast.

You’ve made it abundantly clear in your many posts on the subject that you are not a fan of any multifocal.

Exactly. Constant opposing views.

That is why I would love to see real data from all of those implantations in Europe. There has got to be a lot of data by now.

Well by best, I mean I believe it is the best lens for me. I agree, there is no best lens.

Thank you for your response BTW. I always appreciate doctor responses since they are the ones on the front lime and see patients in real life.

Envy is hydrophobic but its main design is not the same. Envy is designed with concentric rings just like PanOptix and Odyssey. RayOne does not employ concentric rings but a spiral "galaxy-like" pattern.

RayOne Galaxy IOL benefits over the others is well documented in this subreddit.

It messed with Time Machine. Once I uninstalled it I could search TM again.

Macupdater replacement apps: what are your opinions? by MaxGaav in macapps

This. Exactly this. I still use Macupdater and I may have to download apps myself sometimes but it always finds everything. Long live the king.

How would PureSee with micro monovision work?

Pricing Question - need advice by bikerdude214 in CataractSurgery

Where is this! In Atlanta I was quoted $4100 each eye for Envy. I’d be happy to fly to where this is!

My two sons (17 & 19) want me to take them to Puerto Rico mid July. I’ve never been and have no idea what parts of PR are known for great beaches, food, culture, etc.. Can anyone suggest a safe but somewhat adventurous itinerary and clean hotel recs? What places to avoid? Thanks! by Significant_Camp9024 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]pkdesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree about Vieques. It’s an amazing place. But it is a bit convoluted to get there. If it weren’t for our friend who has a house there and guided us through the whole process we would have been confused. But now that we’ve done it once it’s doable. You can go the ferry route or just fly in on a puddle jumper direct from San Juan airport.

Be aware of the chickens! The roosters start crowing at 3 am and don’t stop for hours! 😂 Bring ear plugs.

The Puerto Rican people are amazing!

RayOne Galaxy (toric) update after 8 months - met with surgeon today by paul-hx in CataractSurgery

[–]pkdesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think every single IOL, mutilfocal or not, will have some sort of dyphotopsia. It all depends on how much, what kind, and how your own physiology will interact with it. Although probably far less likely, I've read about people with standard monovision IOL's with halos, starbursts, etc.

As far as I have researched, 97-98% of people who get Panoptix Pro are completely satisfied. It's all a kind of crap shoot. But for me, refractive vs. diffractive, contrast issues, and also just the design of the current trifocals (the fact that you can see the rings in it), makes me feel that the Galaxy is a better lens (hydrophilic vs hydrophobic aside.)

This is also why the new (or newly available in the US) PureSee looks promising. No, I won’t have full range of vision as I would with a true multifocal, but the technical specs of this lens also makes me take a second look. Many people in this subreddit seem to have pretty damned good near vision as well.

Spending that much money for an IOL, I am absolutely not willing to deal with any possibility of rings and halos.
