What should I expect during the Crystalens® procedure?
The Crystalens® implant procedure is the same cataract surgery procedure performed on over 7 million eyes globally each year. The Crystalens® surgery is only 20 minutes long and is often performed in an outpatient surgical facility. During the pain free procedure, one of our Mountain View ophthalmology and cataract surgery specialists will put drops in your eye, remove the cloudy lens using an ultrasonic probe, and replace your old lens with a crystalens® implant. Once surgery is complete, the doctors will place additional drops in your eye to decrease inflammation and prevent infection. The small opening into the eye heals quickly and requires no stitches.
