Hello pellie,
so your axial length is 28 mm.
Your eyes need a complete exam by a machine called IOL Master to determine the power of the artificial lens to be put into your eyes.
Crystalens HD is available in 4 to 33 diopters.
How old are you? Are you thinking of having a cataract surgery or a clear lens extraction?
What is your prescription?
