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. Perich 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. Perich 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. Perich 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.
