Crystalens® Vision Enhancement System
It is now possible to restore the vision of your youth with the Crystalens® Vision Enhancement System at LaserVue Eye Center. Crystalens® is the first and only replacement lens that allows you to focus automatically and seamlessly from distance to near—and everywhere in between.
Unlike most current lens implants, which generally have fixed focal lengths, Crystalens® has the ability to move naturally with the eye’s focusing muscle. As the muscle contracts it bulges backwards and increases pressure behind the lens. This forces the optic forward, while relaxation of the muscle increases the pressure in front of the optic lens to move the optic backwards. Crystalens® has “hinges” that attach to this muscle and allow the lens to move, thus achieving a range of vision not previously possible with the old-style lenses—and, for most, eliminating the hassles of glasses or contacts.
In clinical trials, more than 98 percent 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. Ninety-two percent had distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better. All enjoyed good intermediate vision one year after implantation, and 93.8 percent of patients surveyed said they could perform most daily activities without glasses.
The actual Crystalens® procedure is similar to traditional small-incision cataract surgery. Dr. Jay Bansal uses the “no needles, no stitch, no patch” surgery technique, so you are relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. It takes only a few minutes and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
