The new crystalens HD lens is now available
allowing even better reading vision. The crystalens accommodating intraocular lens is
engineered with a hinge designed to allow the optic, or part of the lens
that you see through, to move back and forth as you constantly change
focus on images around you.
The crystalens® is
intended for the visual correction of aphakia secondary to the removal of
a cataractous lens in adult patients with and without presbyopia.
In Clinical Trials:
98.4% of patients implanted with crystalens in
both eyes could pass a driver's test without glasses
100% could see intermediate (24" to 30")
without glasses, the distance for most of life's activities
98.4% could see well enough to read the
newspaper and the phone book without glasses
Some patients did require glasses for some
tasks after implantation of the crystalens
Significantly more patients implanted with a
crystalens (88.4%) could see better at all distances then patients
implanted with a standard IOL (35.9%)
