How do I know if I am a good candidate for Crystalens lens implants?
Your doctor will perform a thorough examination and advise you of a customized cataract treatment plan for effectively correcting your vision. Virtually everyone with good general health is a candidate for Crystalens lens implant surgery, but people with chronic infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or other health problems may have to wait until these conditions are under control prior to having surgery. People who have had prior corneal refractive surgery are acceptable candidates for Crystalens surgery as long as their eye is in good health. Talk to your doctor. If you have already had cataract surgery, you are not a candidate for the crystalens procedure.
