Dr William Boothe, Director of Boothe Laser Center

Crystalens surgery is a seamless, natural, and relatively hassle-free procedure. This new technology is offered by Dr. Boothe and lets you see the way you saw when you were younger. If you want to see near, far, and all distances in between without the help of eyeglasses and contacts lenses, you should consider the Crystalens procedure.

Crystalens is a cataract procedure that replaces your natural crystalline lens with an artificial one, which functions like your natural lens by using your eye muscles. As a result, you can enjoy nearly the same quality of vision that you had when you were younger. Crystalens is a state-of-the-art artificial lens that has a revolutionary element called “hinges.” This special design allows the lens to focus on anything in your field of vision – whether it is near or far. Before Crystalens, excellent eyesight could not be obtained with lens replacement surgery because the old-style focal lens could not move. Now, the movement of Crystalens within the eye is able to provide you with clearer vision. At Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center, Dr. Boothe takes precise measurements to determine the suitable lens power for you.

Crystalens is a safe medical procedure and is FDA approved for the resolution of cataracts. At Boothe Eye Care Center, the Crystalens procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and typically takes less then fifteen minutes to perform. After your eye is numbed with anesthetic eye drops, the cloudy lens will be removed from your eye and Crystalens will be positioned in place of your natural lens. At the end of the procedure, additional eye drops will be administered to decrease inflammation and prevent infection. The procedure does not typically require stitches, and the healing process is usually quick.

We offer Crystalens to our patients because this procedure has significant advantages, in particular the ability to provide a full range of vision to the patient. Not only can Crystalens focus on objects at varying distances, but it also provides sharper eyesight. Patients typically do not need to continue to wear their eyeglasses or contact lenses after Crystalens implantation. Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center will be glad to answer any questions you have about Crystalens. You can also visit our website to find more information: www.boothelasercenter.com.
