Cataract Eye Surgery Using Crystalens
During your cataract eye surgery, Dr. Loeffler will remove your eye’s cloudy, natural lens. Advances in lens implant technology mean that you now have a choice regarding the lens that will be implanted to replace the cataract. If you choose a multiple-focus lens like the Crystalens accommodating lens implant, you will enjoy a fuller, more natural range of vision when compared to a traditional single-focus (monofocal) lens implant.
The Bausch & Lomb Crystalens IOL restores the eye’s accommodative ability, which is gradually reduced as presbyopia progresses. Crystalens has hinges on both sides so it can be moved more easily by the ciliary muscle, allowing the eye to focus more naturally at a greater range of distances than traditional IOLs. Crystalens also provides increased contrast in a variety of lighting situations to further improve near vision without glasses, while maintaining excellent intermediate and distance vision.
Crystalens patients tell their story in the video below. Once Dr. Loeffler understands your vision needs, he will advise you whether Crystalens, or another lens implant option, is right for you.
