In most cases after cataract surgery or clear lens
extraction a single vision-fixed focus implant is placed in the eye.
Recently multi focal (similar to a multi focal or varifocal lenses in
spectacles) implants and accommodative implants have become available for
these cases.
Crystalens
is an ‘accommodative IOL’, it’s a replacement lens
that works naturally with your eye muscles to give you the quality of
vision you enjoyed when you were much younger. The revolutionary new
design includes “hinges,” which allow the lens to move, or
accommodate, to focus on objects near, far, and at all distances in-between,
in a completely natural and seamless fashion.
An Accommodative ICL is an outpatient procedure that
takes literally just a few minutes to perform. Once completed you can go
home, and with the aid of a few exercises to get the muscles in your eye
back up to speed (often the muscles become ‘lazy’ owing to a
reliance on glasses or contacts) you’ll find the clarity and
performance of your vision will rapidly return.
Cataracts is the term given to mistiness of
the normal crystalline lens of the eye .In most cases this is part of
normal aging process. Therefore people who have clear lens extraction at
relatively young age ,will not require cataract surgery in the future.
