IOL Premium Lenses Crystalens and Multifocal

I think that none of the lenses work like there suppose to. But you know if you can see half as good with one of the lens it's better then going blind. Now having said that I have the Crystalens HD 500 in my left eye and I was told by my Surgon that the next day I would see better then I ever have before,That eye has ben blurry ever sence FEB,2nd the day after surgery. I was told by my surgon that I have astigmatisem and I need LRI, To correct that. I also have the dark shadow and the flickering on the out side of that eye. I have desided you can't turn silver into gold so im going to take what ever happens and just be thankfull I can see at all. I believe that there is no surgon any where in the USA that knows how to implant the Crystalens or the multifocal lens. I think that there is some good surgons out there that can get close to what is advertised but it will be years before it is perfected. Any way you look at it you will go blind if you don't choose one of the lenses, So I say get a dart board put them all on there and where ever the dart hits thats your lens. I know I sound bitter but you see my surgon who I trusted lied through his teeth just to sale me the Crystalens and then lied again about what it was made of. I ask him if they were made silicone or acrilic because im diabetic and that I have read on these threads where silicone lenses was not a good choice for diabetic. I ask him again the day before the surgery and he told me that they have both silicone are acrilict and he said the one im getting is acrilic. So I said ok and then I found out later that week it was silicone. Even if the silicone lens wont do me any harm it's just that he said it was acrilic. Any way the right eye will be implanted with a monofocal lens set for distance and I will just ware glasses. I should have lisened to DR. John Hagan. On the monofocal lens. Good luck to all.

If you end up with good vision and no complications then don't be too bitter. Perhaps an acrylic was not available and if you take care of your diabetes you likely will never need silicone oil in the eye.

Talk this out with your surgeon.

Are there any success stories out there about ReStor or Crystalans?  All I'm reading are horrible stories.
