See All the Possibilities
Your vision connects you to the world. Over time, however, it becomes more difficult to see clearly. That is because your natural crystalline lens is becoming larger and harder. This prevents your lens from focusing as it once did and is why you may need glasses or bifocals to read this right now. This inability to focus, or accommodate, is called presbyopia and its earliest symptom is a difficulty seeing things that are close-up.
Over time, your lens will continue to harden, eventually turning cloudy as it becomes a cataract. It is a natural process that occurs in most everyone over 50 years of age. While glasses may help initially, eventually your cataracts will need to be removed.
Your Options
For the past 30 years, ophthalmologists have treated cataracts by replacing them with artificial lenses, or IOLs. While millions of Americans successfully undergo this proven surgery each year, in most cases, patients will require glasses for reading after cataract surgery. That is because all previously available IOLs were stationary and did not adjust to focus or accommodate. until now . . .
Crystalens™ works like the eye’s natural lens to allow most patients to see images that are near …
Introducing Crystalens™, the first and only accommodating IOL
(inside 16 inches)
intermediate (between 16 and 36 inches)
and distant (36 inches and beyond), without glasses.
Crystalens is engineered with a hinge designed to allow the optic, or part of the IOL that you see through, to move back and forth as you constantly change focus on images around you.
