Being able to see your world as
well as you did when you were younger, without the help of glasses
or contact lenses. Being seen the way you want people to see
you. Youthful. Energetic. Vibrant.
Being able
to see the way you want to see. Near, far and all distances in
between. Seamlessly. Effortlessly. Naturally. Never missing
a child’s smile, the sparkle of a diamond, a cloud that looks
like a face, an important plot twist in a mystery novel. Imagine
a way to do it. Through your own eyes. Imagine all the possibilities.
Imagine crystalens™.
WHAT IS crystalens?
crystalens,
a single-focus lens, is a cataract replacement lens that works
naturally with your eyes’ muscles to give you
the quality of vision you enjoyed when you were younger.
The revolutionary
design element that makes crystalens the state-of-the-art replacement
lens are “hinges” which are designed to
allow the lens to move, or accommodate to focus on objects near,
far and all distances in-between seamlessly.
Unlike
old-style fixed focal lenses, which didn’t move,
crystalens has the ability to move, thus focusing as your eye’s
natural lens does. Dr. Eggleston will take precise measurements
to insure the correct power selection.
THE crystalens PROCEDURE
The medical procedure to implant the crystalens is the same safe,
proven cataract surgery performed annually on over 7 million eyes
globally. Over 65 million procedures have been done in the US in
the last 25 years.
Typically
performed in an outpatient surgical facility, the actual surgery
takes less than twenty minutes. In a pain free procedure,
Dr. Eggleston will place a few drops in your eye, then use an
ultrasonic probe to remove the cloudy lens from your eye. The crystalens
is then gently placed where your original lens used to be. Once
surgery is complete, Dr. Eggleston will place additional drops
in your eye to prevent infection and decrease inflammation.
Because the opening into the eye is so small, it heals quickly
on its own, without any need for stitches.
WITH crystalens, THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR
The crystalens offers significant advantages over other kinds
of lens implants and corrective lenses.
Standard (single
vision) lens implants don’t have the ability
to provide a full range of vision. Most people who have single
vision lens implants MUST wear glasses for middle and near vision.
The crystalens
has the unique ability to focus on objects at varying distances
using the eye’s natural muscle. This means the
crystalens can provide sharper vision, without corrective lenses,
throughout a full range of vision from near to far and everything
in between.
The crystalens
FDA one-year clinical study results indicate that 92% of the
people enrolled in the study (implanted bilaterally)
could see 20/25 or better at distance, 96% could see 20/20 at arm’s
length and 73% could see 20/25 at near without glasses or contact
lenses.
What is more
exciting is that 98% of these people could pass their drivers
test, 100% could see their computer or put on their makeup,
and 98% could read a magazine, all without glasses or contact lenses.
Also, your ability to see at approximately arm’s length (middle
vision) will be greatly enhanced with the crystalens.
In addition,
the quality of vision compared to wearing bifocals and/or trifocals
is significantly improved. You’ll have a
full range of vision, without having to tilt your head to find
that portion of your glasses that allows you to see clearly. You
simply look at something and the crystalens, mimicking the natural
focusing ability of your eye, will automatically focus your eye
at near, arm’s length, or distance.
