What Are Side Effects of Crystalens?

Patient Letter to the Editor

My eye doctor is recommending a Crystalens implant.

But before I proceed, I wanted to learn more about the possible side effects of Crystalens from an independent source (preferably other patients that have such implants).

Is there a risk I will see double after surgery? Will my night vision suffer? How about light sensitivity? Any other risks or complications I should be aware of?

If any readers have had Crystalens implants and can share their experiences that would be wonderful.

    the strength of crystalens is the absence of any side effects. the weakness is that near vision is not as good as the other multifocal implants,

    3 weeks after implant Having lots of problems with light refraction in low light conditions from lights incoming from a 45 degree angle (ie oncoming headlights ok but light coming from rearview mirror in peripheral causing lots of halos like your seeing the whole edge of the lens).

    Having what I would describe as migraines in the left eye and hyper light sensitivity experiences (two so far) hoping these will deminish as the eye stabilizes.

    you are seeing the edge of the lens, i think. it probably will get less noticeable with time.
