Crystalens IntraOcular Lens Implants

New Jersey (NJ) Crystalens Specialist – Dr. Cary Silverman

Dr. Cary Silverman is a highly skilled New Jersey Cataracts specialist who uses the newest technology IntraOcular Lenses (IOLs). In the paragraphs below, he describes the Crystalens IOL and how it has helped to restore vision to many East Hanover and Parsippany Crystalens patients, as well as patients from across northern New Jersey (NJ).

About Crystalens

Crystalens®, provided at our New Jersey (NJ) practice, is the first, and currently the only, true accommodating IntraOcular Lens. This means that the lens is able to respond to muscles in the eye and adjust in the same way as the eye’s natural lens adjusts for near, intermediate and distance vision.

Improved IOL Technology

In the past, IOLs in cataract surgery were stationary and did not adjust for changing focus. This unique lens incorporates a hinge-design that allows the optic to move with the muscles responsible for changing the eye’s focus. It may take some time for the muscles and brain to become accustomed to the new lens, with improvement in accommodation continuing over the course of the first year. But with the help and guidance of Dr. Silverman, patients relearn how to focus their vision at various distances, and ultimately the need for reading glasses, bifocals or trifocals is greatly reduced.

Crystalens® is also used in Laser Eye Surgery procedures such as Laser-Assisted Clear Lensectomy (LACL) to correct refractive errors in non-cataract patients in their mid 40s or older who have experienced a decline in the quality of their vision and wish to reduce their reliance upon glasses and contact lenses.

Other Vision Correction Procedures

In addition to being an excellent New Jersey (NJ) Crystalens surgeon, Dr. Silverman also offers the ReZoom® and ReStor® IOLs to his New Jersey (NJ) cataracts patients. And, he provides Laser Vision Correction from his state-of-the-art LASIK New Jersey practice.
