Crystalens

[jkelloff]

I had crystalens implanted after cataract surgery in late December and early January.  Since that time my right eye (my dominant eye) is fine, but my left eye has regressed to the point of severe astigmatism with vision at 20/20.  My doctor asked me on 2 separate occasions if I had an autoimmune disease because of the way my eye was not healing (I do not, that I know of).  I also have dry eye syndrome and my left eye is always blurry and watery.  I am taking Restys for dry eye, but the new glasses I ordered will not omit the watery vision I have.  I am extremely disappointed with the outcome of the surgery as I feel like I now see worse, not better, than before.  Has anyone else experienced the same results?  I would be happy to hear from you.

  Hi ,  I had a crystalens inplant   may of 2012  , Having very poor vision  now, I do have a autoimune problem from working in a plastic factory years ago,  I told my doctor before having surgery , However he used the crystallens , I am now told that scar tissue has developed possibly do to body over reacting because of autoimmune problems ,  The scar tissue  has pushed out on the hinge slightly  causing the lens to be misaligned  causing poor vision ,  Not sure at this time what Im going to do  , Any one have this problem ?

5 weeks ago,  because I have narrow angles and growing cataracts (which aren't affecting my near perfect vision), I had a cataract removed in my left eye and a crystalens AO implanted.  I chose crystalens as I was hoping to be able to maintain as much of my vision as possible.  I now have good intermediate vision in the operated on eye,  fair near vision, but my distance vision is very fuzzy...no crisp lines at all.  I see the edge of the lens when going from near to intermediate vision, glare on the temple side and flioresent lights are very bad.  I am scheduled to have the right eye done next week and I am so scared  that I will never see well again,   I am so hopeful that my vision will improve as I have read it takes three to six months for the vision to stabilize.   Would love to hear about experiences of other people.
