Description Of Crystalens And Clinical Results

Crystalens®

The Crystalens® is a revolutionary new breakthrough in vision enhancement. It is the first intraocular lens (IOL) replacement for cataracts that focuses like the eye's natural lens, allowing for continuous vision up-close, far-away and all distances in between. Unlike standard IOL's, the Crystalens® can improve full functional vision and in most cases decrease your need for glasses and contacts for everyday tasks, allowing patients to see well and look their best. With Crystalens®, for the first time, cataract patients will have the opportunity to potentially experience the freedom of seeing well at all distances without glasses.

By using the eye's muscle to move the lens backward and forward naturally in response to the brain's desire to see at all different distances, Crystalens® enables the eye to focus continuously and seamlessly through a range of distances, including near, far and everything in between. Patients experience the same vision they had when they were younger, for most without the inconvenience of corrective lenses.

In Clinical Trials:

98.4% of patients implanted with Crystalens® in both eyes could pass a driver's test without glasses
100% could see intermediate (24" to 30") without glasses, the distance for most of life's activities
98.4% could see well enough to read the newspaper and the phone book without glasses
Some patients did require glasses for some tasks after implantation of the Crystalens®
Significantly more patients implanted with a Crystalens® (88.4%) could see better at all distances then patients implanted with a standard IOL (35.9%)
