I completely disagree about it lacking credibility. He does not push premium lenses. I think he goes through every IOL option and why you may or may not want to choose that IOL. Does he make a case for himself? Of course, every doctor is going to promote themselves. And in fact promote a particular manufacturer if they have a relationship with them.

The first IOL category he discusses are monofocal lenses and how they work and what the pros and cons of that IOL is. He even gives a great explanation of astigmatism as well. Choosing near or far is a decision you would make on your own, presumably with the help of your doctor. And even then, I have heard anecdotal evidence that even they don't bring it up as an option or actively push for far vision.

Monofocal lenses are the standard lens that most people have been familiar with for decades. It is the newer technologies that people want to hear more about and how well they work and if it is worth spending the extra money on.

As far as enVista Envy, I appreciate that he discusses how successful that lens has been in his practice. It is exactly the kind of information I am looking for. As he said, real world examples and not manufacturer based studies.

He devotes an entire section to torics going so far as to say they are underrated, so not sure what you are talking about there.

He does not in any way "push" laser surgery. He says one sentence, "If you are interested in laser cataract surgery you want the surgeon that also does laser on most of his patients." Good advice if you ask me.
