The Crystalens® Aspheric Optic lens corrects a patient’s cataracts and presbyopia in the same procedure. Similar to the natural lens, the implant uses the eye’s inner focusing muscle to flex and accommodate, allowing patients to focus on objects at all distances.

We often recommend Crystalens®, the first and only FDA approved accommodating lens, because it delivers very good vision quality. The Crystalens® flexes to accommodate near, intermediate, and distance vision. Movement of the lens is enabled by a flexible hinge within the lens.

Crystalens® accommodates like the natural lens. It moves and changes shape using the eyes’ natural focusing mechanism. It allows the eye to focus on objects across a broad range of distances to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses. After implantation of Crystalens, most patients will see brighter and clearer from distance, intermediate to near like they did when they were younger.
