a solution for those looking to get rid of their reading glasses
Multi-focal and Crystalens HD implant surgery is rapidly becoming as popular as laser vision correction - giving a whole new generation the opportunity to get rid of their glasses and contact lenses and providing the added value of near vision!
Centre for Sight has extensive experience in these lenses, having implanted Crystalens since 2002 (amongst the largest numbers in Europe) and a variety of multifocals since 2004. Success of this technique requires attention to detail and surgeon expertise to ensure surgery is perfect each time. The Stellaris Phacoemulsification system is used by Centre for Sight and has the benefit of surgery being performed through much smaller incisions (1.8mm) than regular cataract and lens surgery performed elsewhere.
Like LASIK and IntraLASIK this procedure corrects shortsight, longsight and astigmatism with the additional advantage of addressing age related reading issues. The majority of Centre for Sight recipients of this type of procedure hardly ever need glasses.
