Four Good Reasons to See Your Ophthalmologist

1. VISION, SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING, TASTE – WHICH WOULD YOU MISS MOST? When surveyed about which of the 5 senses people would miss most, vision was always the answer. Blindness changes every aspect of a person’s lifestyle so it’s very important to take good care of your eyes. Don’t wait until you detect a vision problem because it may be too late to do something about it. Regular eye examinations are the first step to preserving your sight for life. 

2. COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMS SAVE SIGHT: Many serious vision problems are symptom free and go undetected. With a dilated comprehensive eye examination, the doctor is able to examine eye health as well as vision. Remember the key to saving sight is with early detection and treatment. 

3. PROACTIVE CARE FOR AGING EYES: Many cataracts are slow growing and affect vision in such a gradual way that they are not detected. Half of all people with glaucoma risk permanent damage because they are unaware that they have it. And diabetics with diabetic retinopathy are asymptomatic at its most treatable stage. A yearly comprehensive eye exam can determine whether you have any of these problems and if treatment is needed. 

4. NEW PROCEDURES AND TECHNOLOGY: We are constantly advancing and improving. Conditions that were untreatable in the past may now be able to be corrected with new technology. Since your vision is among the most valued of all senses, an eye examination should always be part of your yearly schedule.

About Crystalens®

Crystalens® is an
accommodating intraocular
lens that, unlike a standard
IOL, can treat both a person’s cataracts and presbyopia- loss of near and intermediate vision.

Crystalens not only treats your cataracts (a clouding or hardening of your lens), but can also reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses. It does so by recreating accommodation similar to your eye’s natural lens.

Crystalens is designed to allow the optic, or the central circular part of the lens that you see through, to move back and forth as you constantly change focus on images around you. Crystalens flexes as you focus your vision.

In the United States, on average over 8000 cataract procedures are performed a day. The cataract procedure is quick, simple and allows for relatively fast healing.

This safe and painless procedure typically starts with eye numbing drops and a micro seal being made at the edge of the cornea. The natural lens is gently washed away and Crystalens is implanted. Crystalens can be implanted quickly and without sensation. Most patients return for a follow-up visit with the physician the day after surgery.
