My vision prior to the crystalens® procedure was very bad.  I had tried glasses, contacts, trifocals, and readers.  Night vision was very scary too because of glare , halos and starbursts of light.  I had difficulty estimating car distance when changing lanes, and I could not read street signs, maps, and everything was just one big blur.

I now enjoy my life to the fullest.  I can see near , far, and in between without glasses.  Everything I see is clearer, brighter and vivid.  I no longer have to squint to read.  I have  “new “ eyes.  I feel I have been blessed with a whole new world of vision, a “rebirth”.  I am in love with my crystalens®.  It is a marvelous, awesome invention.  What a phenomenal contribution to mankind!!!!!

The WOW Factor. 

Yes that is the way you feel with the crystalens®.  I’m 62 and I started wearing glasses in the 6th grade.  To be able to see the TV, the clock radio, and most of all to see so clearly people’s faces is phenomenal.  Although I did tell someone I was surprised to see they were getting gray; maybe seeing too much can get you in trouble, guess there are some new things I need to keep to myself. 

In my early twenties and thirties I tried hard contact lenses but that was too much of a bother and discomfort so I went back to glasses.  But this is really something; I forget that I don’t have my glasses on and actually reach up to my eyes to take them off at night – creature of habit.  And when was the last time I could read the phone books, unbelievable. 

I know everyone is different in recovery but to be 20/25 after a week and 4 days is fantastic.  Thank you Dr. Bello, Trish and the rest of the staff for the excellent care and attention.

I was originally supposed to have cataract surgery back in 2005, however, my procedure was postponed because of a glitch with my Medicare plan. After waiting for quite some time, (we all know how medicare can be) I received a call from Dr. Bello’s office, telling me that my insurance problem was resolved and I could proceed with cataract surgery. Dr. Bello’s office informed me that they were now offering the new crystalens®
Procedure and that Medicare and my secondary insurance would pay a good portion of my surgery.

My procedure was completed according to schedule and I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful my results have been. Being an avid golfer, I can now track the ball on the course with ease. Driving has now become a pleasure again, since the street signs are now crisp and clear. My reading and up close vision has improved profoundly. As a matter of fact, every category of my vision has been taken to new heights. I truly believe my “Medicare glitch” was fate. If I would have had surgery with the standard implant, my world would have never looked as good as it does now.
