Eyeonics CRYSTALENS Lens Implants:
Harvard Eye Associates — 30 Years
of Lens Implant Experience!
The First FDA Approved "Accommodating"
Intraocular Lens!
The
Crystalens automatically moves forward and backward with the eye's internal ciliary
muscle, to allow patients to focus naturally at all distances.
Enjoying life to the fullest means being in contact
with your surroundings — and that requires constantly
changing focus to accommodate our everyday activities — at
far distances, at arms length or up close.
If you are interested in seeing your best without
glasses, please contact Harvard Eye Associates
to evaluate the appropriateness
of the Crystalens for you. Together,
we will discuss the benefits, risks and
costs. All of us at Harvard Eye Associates strive
to provide the latest proven solutions to protect
and restore vision for you and your loved ones.
Presbyopia — the inability
to accommodate:
Most people's vision remains stable until their
late 40's. At that time, the eye's natural
crystalline lens begins to gradually enlarge
and harden. Overtime, it becomes difficult for the
eye to automatically focus your lens on the people
and things in your life that matter most. This is known
as loss of accommodation, or presbyopia, and its earliest
symptom is difficulty seeing things
close-up without reading glasses.
The Crystalens is the first
intraocular lens that provides accommodation.
What is the Crystalens?
The Crystalens is the only
accommodating IOL that has been approved by the FDA. The Crystalens is an advanced
focusing implantable lens that can help you see clearly far away, at arms length
and up-close without being dependent on glasses
or contact lenses. The Crystalens is used to replace the natural lens when
it has stiffened and limited your ability to focus effectively,
particularly when accompanied by cataract formation. Limited focusing ability
means that you gradually lose the ability to see things at distance-at arms
length or up close, without using either reading glasses, bifocals, or trifocals.
Since Crystalens has hinges on both sides of the IOL, it can be moved more
easily by the ciliary muscle, allowing the eye to focus more naturally at a
greater range of distances than traditional IOLs.
- The first and only FDA approved accommodating intraocular
lens
- The only lens that uses the natural focusing
ability of the eye
- The first lens to provide a single focal
point throughout a continuous range of vision
from far to near
