Crystalens®
Advanced Multifocal Replacement Lens Implants.
There has never been a better time to have cataract surgery than NOW. Replacement lens implants now available can help you to:
- See better at night.
- Enjoy a full range of quality vision.
- Participate in activities you may have been missing out on.
You choose.
Your choice is between a traditional monofocal lens implant plus glasses for near vision OR a multifocal lens implant. A monofocal lens implant is designed to restore clear vision, but it cannot restore vision quality lost to presbyopia. Dr. Shiller offers another option: Crystalens.
The Crystalens® replacement lens implant helps patients who suffer from presbyopia, nearsightedness, and farsightedness to achieve quality seamless vision, from near to far.
This unique implantable lens provides a wide range of crystal clear vision without laser surgery. Crystalens can be implanted as an outpatient procedure taking less than 10 minutes. Anesthetic eye drops are used, and the procedure is virtually painless. Most often, Dr. Shiller implants Crystalens as a replacement for the clouded natural lens that is removed during cataract surgery.
Unique Crystalens technology helps patients achieve greater independence and provides an exciting new alternative for those who suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia.
Is Crystalens Right for Me?
Before advising you, Dr. Shiller will carefully consider the health of your eyes, your preferred lifestyle, and the types of demands you place on your vision. Among other things, he will need to know about:
- Your occupation and hobbies.
- How much time you spend reading and using a computer.
- How much driving you do (particularly at night).
- Your preferences in outdoor activities and travel.
Dr. Shiller will ask you to consider the degree to which you are bothered by wearing glasses and how your life would be different if better vision could make it possible for you to protect or regain your ability to live it on your own terms.
Should you say YES to this opportunity? Only you can answer that question. Before you make your final decision, THINK about what your life would be like if you could recover the vision you once had to see at:
- NEAR distances for reading the latest best-seller or a restaurant menu?
- INTERMEDIATE distances for surfing the Internet or recognizing the smiling face of a friend?
- FAR distances for driving and enjoying the scenery?
Crystalens has made this broad range of quality vision a reality for thousands of people around the world by reducing or eliminating their dependence on reading glasses and bifocals.
Will you be one of them? Ask Dr. Shiller if this new technology can help you to recapture more youthful vision.
