Crystalens
In most people, vision remains stable until their late 40's. Then the eye's natural lens begins to gradually enlarge and harden, resulting in blurring of near vision. Over time, it becomes difficult for the muscle in the eye to automatically focus. This is known as loss of accommodation, or presbyopia, and its earliest symptom is difficulty seeing things close-up (correctable with glasses). Eventually the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy and vision blurs, a condition called cataract (cloudy lens, not correctable with glasses).
Crystalens is the first intraocular lens, or IOL, for cataracts that also provides accommodation and near vision, the ability to see up close. All other IOL's are relatively fixed within the eye. They are not designed to accommodate or move to focus. Crystalens is a new technology that is designed to mimic the eye's natural ability to focus on distant, middle, and near objects. Used in cataract surgery, Crystalens can restore a full range of functional vision, from distance to reading vision without total dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
