Virginia Eye Consultants introduces Crystalens the first and only accommodating IOL (intraocular lens).
For the past thirty years, eye care professionals have treated cataracts by replacing them with artificial lenses or IOL’s. While millions of Americans successfully undergo this proven surgery each year, in most cases, patients still require glasses for reading after cataract surgery. This is due to the fact that all previously available IOL’s were stationary and did not adjust to focus or accommodate. Until now, Virginia Eye Consultant’s Dr. Stephen Scoper is the very first surgeon in the Hampton Roads area to implant the Crystalens.
Crystalens works like the eye’s natural lens to allow most patients to see images that are near (inside 16 inches), intermediate (between 16 & 36 inches), and distant (36 inches and beyond), WITHOUT glasses.
Crystalens is engineered with a hinge designed to allow the optic (the part of the IOL you see through) to move back and forth as you constantly change focus on images around you.
