Presbyopia Presbyopia is the normal process of aging, where the natural lens of the eye loses some of the flexibility that characterizes a younger eye. This usually occurs between ages 40-50. Everyone experiences presbyopia, some sooner, some later. Because of this normal process, nearsighted people begin to wear bifocals in their forties, and those who never needed glasses before may require reading glasses. Back

The Crystalens™ implanted during cataract surgery treats two problems. First the cloudy cataract will be replaced with a clear lens, restoring your sight. Second, the Crystalens™ treats presbyopia by flexing and changing focus at different distances. Patients who select the Crystalens™ are less dependant on eyeglasses after their surgery.
