Crystalens

The Eyeonics Crystalens is the first and only FDA-approved accommodating intraocular lens implant. Working with eye’s natural muscle, Crystalens “flexes” accommodate near, intermediate and distance objects. Your natural lens uses the ciliary muscle to focus on the subject at hand. The Crystalens works in the same way.

The lens rest back in the eye to accommodate distance vision, then gently flexes forward to accommodate intermediate vision, and then further forward for near vision. Movement is enabled by a flexible hinge within the lens.

The Crystalens is effective for near, intermediate, and distance vision. 98.4% of Crystalens patients are able to read the phone book without glasses. 100% of Crystalens patients are able to see computers or anything else at arm’s length without glasses. 98.4% of Crystalens patients are able to see 20/40 or better after surgery.

The Crystalens accommodating implant can be used for cataract surgery or for refractive lens exchange.
