Crystalens HD

I had the Crystalens HD implant in both eyes. My distance vision is not coming in for either eye. I am in fact legally blind to be driving. My vision is no better post op than it was before surgery. My close up has come in at 20/16 and intermediate is progressing. Has anyone experienced difficulty with gaining distance vision and how long did it take? I am very concerned.

Please talk with your surgeon and let us know what is going on.  My suspicion is that you have unexpected myopia, perhaps due to the lens moving forward permanantly in the eye.  Again, discuss this with your surgeon and ask if you are unexpectedly nearsighted or myopic and what he is prepared to do about it.
