Crystalens HD 4th Generation Lens

Just wondering if anyone out there has any new input on this new generation Crystalens. I understand they are now being used by some Ophthalmologists (having been recently released and revised).

I would love some feedback from the Dr's viewing this site as well as from any readers who have used these new lenses as to your personal experiences with them, even if your early on impressions. Thank you all in advance for your input!

Hi...I had crystalens put in both eyes after cataract removal in April.   I also have dry eyes.  I had a yag done on my right eye two weeks ago.  Yet I still cannot read a book without at least +150 glasses.  I am seeing my dr. this week.  I'd appreciate your take regarding why I cannot read close-up without glasses.  I paid an extra $4000 for the crystalens.  The lens do not meet with my satisfaction because they do not live up to their advertisement.  Am I the only one who has this type of trouble with the lens?  Any suggestions?

Thanks...
Rita

Hi i have just had my natuaral lens replaced on my right eye, my lenses where displaced in both eyes. I know have very blurry vision and a massive floater, i don't know whether or not i have done the right thing or if this is normal, as i can't read anything and i never had blurry vison before. i am wearing my old glasses and have covered up my 'new eye'.
Can anyone help me?I am only 22 and wanted to improve my quality  of life.
