Even those who have an excellent outcome with the Crystalens HD still need glasses for prolonged reading or seeing small print. And if you look through recent posts on this forum, you'll find that the outcomes of many people are significantly less than excellent (e.g., major problems with glare, dysphotopsia, etc.). There have been major advances in multifocal/accommodating IOL technology over the past few years, with better lenses yet to come. Why not wait?
