Crystalens® is an FDA-approved intraocular lens implant that can change its shape to provide crisp near and distance vision.
This one-of-a-kind artificial lens has been modeled to mimic the shape and function of a natural crystalline lens within the eye. Crystalens offers patients the chance to renew and restore their vision so they can live life to the fullest.
Who Is Crystalens For?
Crystalens is ideal for adults with cataracts or presbyopia — age-related farsightedness.
Cataracts are the clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It causes blurred vision and other visual symptoms. The only treatment for cataracts is surgery, where the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced by a clear artificial lens. Cataract surgery is a very common, safe and effective procedure.
Presbyopia occurs when the eye’s natural lens stiffens due to age. With time, the lens gradually loses the ability to focus on near objects, which is why many people over the age of 40 need reading glasses.
How Does Crystalens Work?
Crystalens replaces the natural eye lens for clear near and distance vision. It’s made of a flexible material that attaches to the focusing muscles within the eye. This enables the lens to change shape and focus at various distances, just as the natural eye lens would.
It’s uniquely designed with a smooth center that allows 100% of incoming light to pass through the lens and reach the retina. This provides crisp night vision and [minimizes] glare and halos.
