At Bausch & Lomb we are focused on the design, development, manufacture
and sale of premium intraocular lenses intended to address the vision correction
needs of the aging population.
Intraocular lenses, or IOLs, are implantable devices that replace the natural lens
in the human eye, typically after the natural lens has developed cataracts. Cataracts
are an irreversible progressive condition that diminishes vision quality. Premium
intraocular lenses, or PIOLs, such as our product, Crystalens,
are designed to both replace a cataractous lens and correct a refractive error.
Crystalens is currently the only FDA-approved accommodating PIOL.
An accommodating lens adjusts and changes shape with the natural movement of the
muscles in the eye to focus in a manner similar to a healthy human lens. This accommodative
feature enables Crystalens to correct presbyopia, a common refractive error that
begins to affect people's range of vision as they reach their forties. The Crystalens
delivers high-quality vision across a broad range of distances, thereby eliminating
or reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
