But what about the surgery
itself? Well, in the past, successful Cataract
surgery would allow you to see things with
almost 20/20 vision from far a distance, but
glasses or contact lenses were still needed to
read a book or examine something close up.

But because of a new
breakthrough in design and procedure, a new lens
had been invented. This lens is so remarkable;
it even has tiny (microscopic) hinges on either
side that allows it to move forward and backward
with the movement of the muscle in your eye.

This allows you to see just as
perfectly when you are reading your book as you
would when reading something from a distance.

In clinical trials of this
"crystalens", patients enjoyed life-changing
benefits. More than 98% of patients who received
crystalens implants in both eyes had 20/30
vision or better at a long distance without
glasses, and could read as little as 6 point
type on a medicine bottle. 92% had distance
visual acuity of 20/25 or better. That means...

The Tennessee Driver's License Vision Test...

Without Glasses!

This, until now, has been
unheard of in Cataract surgery.

A very small incision (2
millimeter's wide) will be made and a tiny
ultrasonic probe will be used to break up the
cataract into microscopic particles using
high-energy sound waves.

The cataract particles will be
gently suctioned away. Then, a folded
intra-ocular lens (IOL) will be inserted through
the micro-incision, then unfolded and locked
into permanent position. The small incision is
"self-sealing" and usually requires no stitches.
It remains tightly closed by the natural outward
pressure within the eye. This type of incision
heals fast and provides a much more comfortable
recuperation.
