What is the benefit of an accommodative lens implant?
An accommodative lens implant moves inside the eye as the eye’s focusing muscle contracts, mimicking the eye’s natural ability to focus. This feature addresses distance, intermediate and near vision and makes the recipient less dependent on glasses or contact lenses. The lens is typically used in patients who have both a cataract (cloudiness in the natural lens) and presbyopia (the loss of focusing power of the natural lens that occurs in eyes older than 40 years).
