Behler Eye and Laser Offers Crystalens to Patients in Safety Harbor, Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg and Surrounding Areas

A wonderful technology approved by the FDA is the Accommodating Lens named Crystalens ™

Crystalens from Behler Eye & Laser CenterFor patients who undergo Refractive Lens Exchange or Refractive Cataract Surgery this exciting implant technology enables both eyes to focus at all ranges of vision (distance and near) without the need for glasses. Crystalens works like the eye’s natural lens to allow most patients to see images that are near (inside 16 inches) intermediate (between 16 and 36 inches) and distance (36 inches and beyond) without glasses. Crystalens ™ is engineered with a hinge designed to allow the implant that you see through to move back and forth as you constantly change focus on images around you.
