crystalens

[ed7741]

I currently wear eyeglasses that have a correction requiring prisims.  I am considering cataract surgery and need to chose either the standard mono lens or pay close to $2000.00 for the crystalens.  My question is: is the crystalens usable for those of us that have prescription glasses with prisims...or is the mono lens the way to go?

Thank you for you advice.  I will do more research re multifocal iols.  Ed

Go MONO.  Take the time to read the hundreds and hundreds of posts from unhappy patients with multifocal IOLS. Plus you can't put prisms in either type so you will need glasses after surgery.
