The Crystalens® advantage

Unlike standard cataract replacement lenses, Crystalens lenses correct your cataracts and give you back your full range of vision. They flex like your eye's natural lens, allowing you to see better at all distances.

If you're like many Crystalens patients, you'll hardly, if ever, need your glasses or contacts again.

POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS
Implantation of Crystalens® is a surgical procedure. All surgical procedures entail some risk. The risks of implantation with Crystalens are generally the same potential risks that exist for implanting all intraocular lenses. Because Crystalens has a smaller optic compared to the standard IOL, glare and other visual disturbances may occur under certain lighting conditions, including at night when the pupil widely dilates. Only your surgeon can determine if Crystalens is right for you and explain the applicable risks. Your doctor will perform a thorough examination and fully inform you of any increased risk of complications. Because Crystalens only absorbs a portion of ultraviolet light, you should wear sunglasses with UV400 protection when out in daylight.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
Crystalens intraocular lens is indicated for implantation in the capsular bag of the eye for the visual correction of aphakia secondary to the removal of a cataractous lens in adult patients with and without presbyopia. Adverse events are comparable to the FDA-published historical controls.* Rx only. Only your surgeon can determine if Crystalens is right for you and explain the applicable risks.
