Beverly Hills Crystalens Surgery

Becoming more and more popular with both patients and doctors in Beverly Hills, Crystalens surgery represents an incredible technological advancement for people with cataracts. These implants are different from other intraocular lenses (IOLs) in that they work in tandem with the eye's natural focus mechanism to facilitate clear vision at a range of distances. Other IOLs, particularly monofocal implants, can only provide clear focus at a single distance range (usually close distances), requiring the patient to wear glasses to see properly at mid-range and long distances.

Patients in Beverly Hills can enjoy a wide range of benefits from Crystalens surgery:

  • Enhanced middle-range vision (96 percent of patients can focus on middle ranges without glasses)
  • Proper vision in a spectrum of lighting conditions
  • Ability to read without glasses (98 percent of patients can read without glasses)
  • 96 percent of patients recover 20/20 vision
  • Fewer undesirable side effects of implant surgery (glare, light sensitivity, problems with night vision)

Beverly Hills Residents Can Qualify for Crystalens Surgery

Beverly Hills residents who have already undergone cataract procedures do not make good candidates for Crystalens implants. However, individuals who have had corneal refractive procedures performed at eye centers in the past may still qualify, as will any person with a generally clean bill of health. People with infections or advanced or uncontrollable diabetes may be asked to wait until their health improves before undergoing the operation.

One of the leading and most trusted eye centers in the Los Angeles area is the Maloney Vision Institute. Dr. Robert Maloney was recently named one of the top 10 vision correction specialists working in the United States today.
