Your physician will discuss with you the appropriateness of these based on your individual visual needs and on your eye examination. Accommodating IOLs are also designed to provide a continuous range of vision for distance, intermediate, and near, eliminating or reducing patients’ dependence on reading glasses or bifocals.This is made possible by the IOL’s unique design structure, which allows the lens to move back and forth as it would during natural focusing of the eye.In particular, this accommodation provides significant advantages in addressing intermediate vision.It is the first and only FDA-approved accommodating intraocular lens Crystalens® has effectiveness proven in clinical trials.Crystalens® moves forward or backward as you change focus.

If you feel uncomfortable with your physician, you are less likely to seek their help, discuss your health concerns with them, or follow their recommendations.This technology is known as a non-accommodating “monofocal” IOL.With the latest advances, having clear vision at only one distance is no longer the only option.When viewing distant objects, the internal muscles of the eye remain in a relaxed state and maintain the lens in a position to provide perfect distance vision.As the internal muscles of the eye contract during periods of reading, the visual portion of the lens is moved forward shifting ones’ focus to the near tasks.
