Multifocal IOL patients are 3x more likely to notice halos and glare than accommodating IOL patients.1
There's a noteworthy difference between what you can achieve with standard multi-focal IOLs and the benefits your patients can experience with accommodating IOLs such as Crystalens®.
Sharp vision at the distances that matter2-3
Better contrast sensitivity than multifocal IOLs4
Clear, crisp vision for nighttime driving and low-light activities3

Range of Vision
With Crystalens® AO IOL, you can provide your patients with an active range of vision that matches today’s active lifestyles and help them look forward to near, intermediate, and distance vision with increased independence from glasses.1
1. Crystalens AO Directions for Use.
AO Advanced Optic
The Crystalens® AO IOL features an advanced aberration-optimized (AO) optic that delivers outstanding contrast sensitivity by focusing 100% of light, 100% of the time and maintaining one distinct point of focus.1 The advanced AO optic also delivers uniform power, center to edge for consistent results2-4, excellent visual acuity in low light, and has proven rotational stability.4

Accommodating Technology
Unlike standard presbyopia-correcting (PC) lenses that split light or elongate the focal point, Crystalens® AO IOL is an advanced accommodating lens that utilizes one distinct point and changes position and functional power within the capsular bag to deliver clear, crisp vision for nighttime driving and low-light activities.1-2
