About Crystalens®
Crystalens® is an
accommodating intraocular
lens that, unlike a standard
IOL, can treat both a person’s
cataracts and presbyopia- loss
of near and intermediate vision.
Crystalens not only treats your cataracts (a clouding or hardening of your lens), but can also reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses. It does so by recreating accommodation similar to your eye’s natural lens.
Crystalens is designed to allow the optic, or the central circular part of the lens that you see through, to move back and forth as you constantly change focus on images around you. Crystalens flexes as you focus your vision.

In the United States, on average over 8000 cataract procedures are performed a day. The cataract procedure is quick, simple and allows for relatively fast healing.
This safe and painless procedure typically starts with eye numbing drops and a micro seal being made at the edge of the cornea. The natural lens is gently washed away and Crystalens is implanted. Crystalens can be implanted quickly and without sensation. Most patients return for a follow-up visit with the physician the day after surgery.
