Crystalens® Accommodating Intraocular Lens

Surgery to treat cataracts is an outpatient procedure where an eye surgeon removes the natural, clouded lens and replaces it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). The Crystalens is an accommodating IOL with flexible hinges that allows the IOL to work with the ciliary muscles of the eye to focus similar to your natural lens. Most patients have functional intermediate and distance vision with less dependency on glasses.
