CRYSTAL LENS

Should I have the Crystalens implant put in both eyes?

Typically cataracts will develop in both eyes. If only one eye has a cataract, only one implant is necessary. If both eyes have cataracts and the vision in one eye is worse, the surgeon will elect to implant that eye first. If both eyes are the same, the surgeon usually starts with the 'non-dominant' eye. Dr. Bosem will look at a number of factors in deciding which eye to implant first and when, if necessary, to implant the other eye. Two to three weeks is a common waiting time.
