About crystalens(R)

The crystalens was approved by the FDA in November 2003. During clinical trials, all of the patients who received the crystalens greatly reduced their need for corrective lenses or eyeglasses. The patented crystalens technology is designed to allow the lens to move in the eye in a manner similar to the natural human lens. By using the eye's muscle to move the lens backwards and forwards naturally, patients can focus through a broad range of vision including near, intermediate and far distances. All other approved intraocular lenses are designed to remain fixed in the eye. For more information about the crystalens go to http://www.crystalens.com.
