A Premium IOL
God designed our eye to accommodate so that we can focus to read. This ability decreases at age 40 as the eye’s natural lens begins to thicken and harden, making it difficult for the muscle in the eye to focus the lens. This loss of accommodation is known as presbyopia, and its earliest symptom is difficulty seeing things up close. Presbyopia is treated with glasses. The Crystalens® was designed to replace the eye’s natural lens or cataract and restore the eye’s ability to accommodate to eliminate the need for reading glasses. Unlike the standard intraocular lens which is “fixed” within the eye and corrects vision at a single focus (usually distance), the Crystalens® uses the eye’s natural focusing muscles to accommodate the full range of vision. The Crystalens® enables the eye to focus seamlessly through a range of distances, from near to far, and everything in between. This continuous range of vision provided by the Crystalens® greatly reduces the need for spectacle correction.
