The Crystalens is an auto-focusing, accomodating IOL. Its revolutionary hinges work with your eye’s natural muscles to mimic the eye’s ability to shift focus between objects at various distances. Crystalens can restore a full range of functional vision. This lens provides excellent distance vision, intermediate vision and clarity for driving at night.
In FDA studies, 92% of participants could see 20/25 at a distance and 96% could see 20/20 at arm’s length. 98% of patients could pass their driver’s exam without corrective lenses, 100% could see their dashboard and computer screen without assistance and 98% could see the newspaper without their glasses or contacts.
The ideal candidates for Crystalens are active individuals who require clear vision for distance and night driving, but may not mind wearing reading glasses to see fine print.
