The crystalens® represents a revolutionary breakthrough in intraocular lens (IOL) technology.
 
With this new lens, patients can recover youthful vision – a full range of vision without glasses following surgery. Unlike any other lens currently available, the crystalens® Accommodating IOL is designed to allow patients to see objects that are close up, at a distance, and all ranges in between.
 
 
In the past, patients have had to choose their visual goal prior to surgery. The most commonly used implants today provide distance vision, with patients routinely using reading glasses to see up close. Another option is monovision, where one eye is focused for distance and the other eye for up close. This provides functional vision at most distances, but at the expense of depth perception. This is certainly not what we would describe as youthful vision.
 
This revolutionary technology allows the crystalens® to provide a unique and seamless focusing system for patients, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. This new replacement lens is the first and only intraocular lens that is designed to allow the lens to move, or accommodate to focus on objects near, far and all distances in-between.
 
With the crystalens®, patients experience the same vision they had when they were younger, without the inconvenience of corrective lenses or eyeglasses. Dr. Alan Aker MD is honored to be one of the first eye surgeons in the country to be able to offer this state-of-the-art replacement lens.
 
 
In the crystalens® FDA two-year clinical study, 98% of the patients could pass their drivers test, 100% could see their computer and dashboard, read the prices in the supermarket or put on their makeup, and 98% could read the telephone book or newspaper, all without glasses or contact lenses.
To learn more about this exciting new technology or to see if you are a candidate, call one of our patient counselors at 1-800-273-1445.
