Has anyone had the crystal lens implants or know anything about them?

Question

My vision is horrible so I am not a candidate for Lasik. I am extremely near sighted. I'm probably legally blind without corrective lens. I keep asking my eye doctor about eye surgery, but he keeps saying 5 more years. I really want to be able to wake up see my world. I do great with contacts, but I now have GPC from wearing them so much. My glasses are really thick and I can't see to drive with them so wearing them all the time is not an option. If anyone knows a good surgeon that has performed this type of surgery, please include name and where I can contact this person. I am willing to go anywhere in the US.

Answer 1

Don't get the crystalens. If you want to get rid of your glasses, find a surgeon that does clear lens extraction. Have them put in a standard intraocular lens and wear glasses for reading. The multifocal implants are not perfected yet and you would probably need to wear reading glasses anyway
