LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

A cataract is a clouding of your eyes natural lens that can result in serious vision difficulties, including blindness. In fact, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 55. The only way to treat cataracts is to remove your natural, cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens. At Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, we offer our patients a number of choices for lens replacement surgery. One of the most exciting and effective solutions is Crystalens.

Crystalens

Crystalens is the latest advancement in intraocular lenses (IOLs). Most IOLs are able to provide vision at near and far distances, but due to their design compromise vision at intermediate or arms-length distance. Crystalens is the only IOL that works with the muscles in your eyes to accommodate in the exact same manner as your natural lens. Choosing Crystalens for your cataract surgery can not only remove your cataracts, it can provide you with freedom form glasses for a number of years.
