Crystalens

Crystalens is a new type of IntraOcular Lens implant designed for the aging eye that has developed a cataract. The typical cataract correction involves a surgical procedure to remove the cloudy natural lens and the insertion of an IntraOcular Lens implant (IOL). Read more on cataracts here.

What makes the Crystalens revolutionary is that, unlike a standard IOL, it addresses both a person’s need to be able to see into the distance  as well as intermediate and close vision. It is designed to combat the loss of near and intermediate vision that commonly occurs when people age. This means that the Crystalens eliminates your need for reading glasses, while at the same time clearing up and sharpening your general sight. We refer to the Crystalens’ unique ability focus on objects both distant and near as “accommodating.”

Dr. Phillips is certified as a Crystalens surgeon. He was one of the early adaptors in offering this type of surgery to his patients and has been performing Crystalens procedures since 2005.

Crystalens is the first and only FDA-approved accommodating IOL. Since it’s approval in 2003, most patients have continued to report excellent vision after implantation with Crystalens. More than 200,000 Crystalens IOL implants have been implanted worldwide.

The Crystalens IOL is not covered by Medicare and other insurances, but is available to patients as a premium IOL upgrade, for additional fees. We’d be happy to discuss the Crystalens and other premium upgrade options with you.
