About crystalens ®

crystalens ® is the newest technology impacting people age 45 to 65 who develop cataracts and who want to be able to see clearly -- near, intermediate and far -- without corrective lenses or eyeglasses. 

There are people who can't see their computer screens, for example, without a corrective lens. It impacts those facing bifocals, who don't want to hassle with glasses and contact lenses. Traditional cataract surgery leaves you still having to wear glasses.

crystalens ® is a cataract replacement lens that works naturally with the eyes’ muscles to give you the quality of vision enjoyed when you were younger. The procedure actually removes the lens, and replaces it with an artificial lens, which moves as the muscle contracts.

Unlike old-style fixed focal lenses, which didn’t move, crystalens ® has the ability to move, thus focusing as your eye’s natural lens did when you were younger.

crystalens ® is for patients who were going to have cataract surgery anyhow, but the traditional cataract surgery gave them the distance sight, but they still had to have reading glasses. "Medicare patients can receive the benefits of this surgery."
