Testimonials
"If I was to have any chance of not wearing reading glasses (I lose at least one pair a week!), then I wanted to try the Crystalens. That's exactly the way it worked out - I no longer need reading glasses. It more than met my expectations. I knew there was not a 100% probability that I would be able to get rid of the readers, but that's how it worked out for me. I am very grateful. It is truly a gift - it's the gift of good eyesight. I have 20/20 vision for both distance and reading, and I'm able to read without glasses! I have to tell you, I was in California last week, and my golf game is better! It's the nicest thing I've ever done for myself. I truly mean it."
Cataracts are an opacity or clouding of the normally crystalline lens of the eye, caused by the natural aging process, metabolic changes, injury, various forms of radiation, toxic chemicals and certain drugs. The leading cause of vision loss among adults age 60 or older, cataracts impair vision, making everyday activities increasingly difficult.
In simple terms, a cataract is usually part of the normal aging process that changes the natural, clear lens of the eye into a cloudy, opaque structure that inhibits or diminishes the passage of light to the retina. The condition can be compared to a window that is frosted or "fogged" with steam.
