How does the Crystalens® HD intraocular lens implant work?
The Crystalens® HD works by using a pair of hinges, one on each side of the central optic, the focusing part of the implant. These two hinges work naturally with your eyes’ muscles allowing the implant optic to move forward and backward, or accommodate focusing on objects near, far, and all distances in between seamlessly. This design mimics the eye’s natural lens process of accommodation. This accommodation process is practiced by the patient in the ensuing months post operatively to enhance and fine tune their near vision capabilities. This allows for the kind of vision patients enjoyed when they were younger.
