Can I see well near and at a distance with the Verisyse Phakic IOL?
Most people under the age of 40 who have the Verisyse procedure see well near and at a distance because their natural lens is left in place. This lens (the crystalline lens) naturally adjusts to focus on near and distant objects. As you age, this natural lens function may diminish and you will eventually need reading glasses to see objects that are near.
