About a year and a half ago I had both eyes worked on. I got the implants with the Frenzel lenses so I can see distant objects and also be able to read without glasses.
They are really nice.

My doctor suggested Crystal Lenses, but I opted for Lasik, with one eye for distance and one eye for reading. I was in contacts for this set up for years and it worked great.
My doctor said that the Lasik for up close would change as I became older. It did. I am now using reading glasses for just a few things. I was afraid of the Crysal Lense but wish I would have had it back then.
Is the Frenzel lense the same as Crystal lense?
Franzel was not mentioned to me but this was about 12 years ago I think.

I had cataracts in both eyes. Usually the doc removes the lenses with the cataracts and implants plastic lenses in their place. These are fixed focal lenses, used for either distance vision or close-up for reading. Most people that get these lenses opt for seeing at a distance without glasses and then use reading glasses for up close. What I called Frenzel lenses have a small funny looking thing in the center of the lens that is set to focus at about 13 inches for reading. With these lenses I can see both distant and near objects without any glasses.

Frenzel is not a brand of lens, but is named for the person that first developed these lenses for improving lighthouse beams a long time ago. Frenzel was a French physicist.

That sound like what I needed. As I get older they said my reading will need glasses and they were right.

I did not have cataracts, just couldn't see with out strong glasses all my life and had them fixed.

The crystal lenses have feet... when you look close up the feet know to move to focus close then go back down when you look far away. I think this is how they explained it to me. It sounded strange so I opted to just get the lasik. I can now see without glasses very far away. Something I have never been able to do before. It is amazing at what people can figure out to do to make us better...

Made it through cataract surgery on the first eye.One more to go.

Been there, done that, got that t-shirt.

What really shocked me was after the 1st eye was done, seeing the difference in overall brightness between the 2 eyes.

That was the first thing I noticed.The lights in the house are even brighter now.Flowers outside in the yard have brighter and deeper colors.Really happy about eye pressure dropping.

Kinda like cleaning your headlights. Didn't realize how dirty they had gotten over the years. wink
