Synchrony Lens for Corneal Transplant Patient?
September 8, 2011
I had a corneal transplant as a result of an untreated infection and now need cataract surgery.
Is FDA approval of the Synchrony lens anticipated shortly?
Is this a lens that would be appropriate for a corneal transplant patient?
(editor note: we invite readers to peruse some of our own prior posts on the Synchrony IOL).

not sure when it will be approved. if only doing 1 eye, not sure how much bang for the buck you will get from this lens. if you had a corneal transplant, you probably have significant astigmatism, which probably makes you a poor candidate.
