One the Eye Doctor's Im seeing now has recommended the Collamer single piece Nano-Flex by Staar. I have not seen much in MedHelp on this Iol. He told me that he would implant any lens I want. I just thought I would ask you Doctors to see if you have any knowledge of this Iol. The Iol I have in my left eye is the Crystalens HD500 Diopter 23.00.  Thank you for your help. Dan

Thank you for your help. I didn't have any promblem with the lens I have 1.25 Astigmatism in that eye. The Doctor that Implantehed it told me at that time all I would need is an LRI. When the time came to have it done he said I needed Laisk that the LRI would not fiix it. My right eye was not bad enough to have removed so I needed Glasses any way I didn't want to pay the extra money and still ware glasses. He got all upset with me when I wanted to wait on my right eye I waited two years on the right eye. Now I need it done Im apprehensive about spending 2900 on the same lens and then new DR. Telling me that an LRI Wont work so I have decided to go with the standard lens and ware glasses. Any suggestions. Dan

I have no experience with the IOL.  What problem did you have with the Crystalens HD?  What about he Crytalens AO (the newest model).
