Back in May of 2018, I had the idea to start CataractCoach.com where I would routinely post about cataract surgery, including videos of techniques. I originally planned to do about one post/video a week, but then I challenged myself. Could I create a new post/video every single day for 1,000 days in a row without missing a day?
Well, I am happy to report that the answer is yes. Today, January 31, 2021 is post/video number 1000. I am thankful to readers like you who subscribe to our daily email (or to our youtube channel) and also submit guest videos every day. We have 19,000 subscribers and a total of more than 5,200,000 views. We also have viewers from more than 100 different countries, with the USA being number 1 in terms of viewership.
It has not been easy, but I am much better at editing and creating the videos and I am grateful for your support. We are planning on continuing the daily posts/videos into the foreseeable future. The video that I have prepared today will show you some of the important features that you can find on the CataractCoach website which will make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

Thank you!
I have learned so much from these videos! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thank you!
Uday, thank you for all you do. I love how you break down cases and point out significant tips.. After the quarantine in Mar/Apr I watched so many of your videos just to get ready for that “first” case back in the OR. You are extremely talented and even though I do close to 2000/year I still learn or reinforce things you’ve already taught.
May God bless you
