Crystalens Rebate Program Extended to Patients Implanting IOL Before March 31, 2011
December 21, 2010
Bausch+Lomb recently announced that it will extend its “See Better and Save” patient rebate program for patients who have the Crystalens® accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) implanted before March 31, 2011. Patients will be eligible for a rebate of up to $250 per eye. The rebate is available regardless of the patient’s choice of physician, hospital or surgical center.
Crystalens is the only FDA-approved accommodating intraocular lens. Unlike a standard IOL, Crystalens can treat both a person’s cataracts and presbyopia—loss of near and intermediate vision.

I have had the Crystalens AO implanted in each eye in Woodstock Ontario, Canada. I am not satisfied with the results. Long vision poor as well as close vision in right eye. Can not get to discuss results from my point of view with surgeon. Need to get appt. but have had no luck. Surgeries done in Aug and Sept 2010 Secondary for protein removal on Jan. 4, 2011. Please respond.
not sure if i understand- respond to what
I had the Crystalens implanted in both eyes in March of 2010 and my vision is worse than ever. My surgeon insists that my vision is bad because of dry eye syndrome and I am not consistent with eye drops. I never had dry eye before that I know of so I don’t believe him. It is far easier to blame me then his skills and/or the product. So I don’t know if my problem is the surgeon or the product. At any rate, I would not recommend the procedure at all. My vision is a hard thing to do without; it’s not like a tooth that can be replaced with an implant or partial. Why do these people continue to do this procedure? I should get a full refund of $2,780.00 per eye. Lynn

if your surgery was uncomplicated, and your eyes are healthy, then you should see very well with the crystalens without glasses. dry eye can sometimes get worse after cataract surgery and can last almost a year. the dry eye makes the vision poor. can you at least see well with glasses?- if so, the issue simply is the prescription of your eye did not end up as expected.
anyway, if your vision is not good after cataract surgery, you ought to get a second opinion, to make sure the surgery went well, and to confirm that the issue is dryness. its a bad idea to go through life not knowing exactly what the problem is and whether the surgeon is at fault
