Bausch & Lomb CrystaLens Implants:

Harvard Eye Associates: Over 30 Years of Lens Implant Experience!


How does the CrystaLens work?


The CrystaLens is unique because it can move inside your eye, similar to a youthful, natural lens. The CrystaLens accommodating intraocular lens is engineered with a unique hinge designed to allow the optic - the part of the lens that you see through - to move back and forth as you look around from objects close to you, to object further away. Standard lens implants have a single focus and are stationary within the eye, a design that prevents them from allowing you to focus naturally.

Near and intermediate vision result from the action of the focusing muscle in the eye, called the ciliary muscle. This muscle changes the power and thus the focus of the natural lens. This enables the eye to automatically focus to provide distance, intermediate, and near vision.

How Well Does the CrystaLens Work?

In FDA clinical trials, CrystaLens patients enjoyed life-changing benefits. More than 98% of patients who received CrystaLens implants in both eyes had uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 or better at distance without glasses and could read 6-point type on a medicine bottle. 92% had distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better. In Europe and Mexico, where the lens has been in use for over five years, nearly all patients continued to enjoy this range of vision year after year. In these studies 93.8% of patients surveyed said they could perform most daily activities without glasses. Thanks to the CrystaLens, people may no longer have to put up with impaired or diminishing vision.
