Santa Monica Crystalens Implants

For cataract sufferers in Santa Monica, Crystalens implants provide an exciting state-of-the-art solution. Many vision correction procedures can restore sight, but Crystalens implants are the only accommodating intraocular lens approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration. This product acts as much like a natural eye as an artificial lens can, allowing patients to maintain a single point of clear focus through a continuous range of three-dimensional space. The human eye's ability to do this is known as accommodation.

Widely used in Santa Monica and throughout the United States, Crystalens implants are unlike other intraocular lenses (IOLs) because they actually move within the eye. This allows patients to adjust their focus on objects near or far from them, in a variety of lighting conditions; other IOLs are not able to do this because they remain stationary once they are inserted.

The cost of this particular vision correction procedure varies from patient to patient, as cataracts of differing progression may take shorter or longer amounts of time to remove. However, Medicare and most HMOs cover cataract surgery, at least as far as the cost of the surgeon's labor and the anesthesia. Patients wondering whether their particular health insurance policies cover these cutting-edge lenses should contact their coverage providers.

Patients in the Santa Monica area who make good candidates for this surgery are invited to contact the Maloney Vision Institute for a consultation. The institute is one of the United States' premier vision correction centers, led by experienced doctors whose skill and professionalism has led them to worldwide acclaim.
