The Crystalens HD is according to our experience a bifocal intraocular lens (IOL). In addition to treating cataracts, the Crystalens HD can be used to correct myopia, hyperopia, slight astigmatism and presbyopia. In this article we present our first results nine months post-operatively from an open, uncontrolled, prospective, observational study. The surgical procedure used differs considerably from standard cataract operations. Posterior capsule opacification was treated early eight to 10 weeks post-operatively using a specific YAG-capsulotomy. We have implanted over 70 IOLs and nine-month results are available for 30 eyes. Uncorrected visual acuity for distance vision was 0.67 in 82%, for intermediate vision 0.8 in 100% and for near vision 0.5 in 100%. Sixty-eight per cent of the patients no longer need reading glasses and 100% have no blinding sensitivity/halos and unchanged nightvision. After Crystalens HD implantation, the long-term post-operative clinical results were convincing. Subjective patient satisfaction was above average. |
