Presbyopia (Aging Vision)

NearVision CK

Are you a candidate for NearVision CK?

  • Are you over 45 years of age?
  • Have you had great distance vision without glasses for most of your life?
  • Are you tired of your reading glasses?

If you answered yes to these three questions, you may be a candidate for NearVision CK.

You may NOT be a good candidate for NearVision CK if:

  • You have had significant changes in your vision over the past year
  • You have any chronic eye disorders
  • You are pregnant or nursing
  • You have a chronic illness or

Take the next step toward freedom from reading glasses

NearVision CK improves your ability to focus on near objects without reading glasses. In the clinical study for NearVision CK, 9 out of 10 patients could see 20/20 or better in the distance, and could read newspaper-sized print after the procedure without
glasses.

If you are interested in the NearVision CK procedure, talk to your doctor and get a full eye examination. He or she will determine your specific vision needs and treatment plan, and establish if NearVision CK is the right procedure for you.

Over 100,000 people have improved their near vision.

NearVisionSM CK® can help improve your vision, allowing you to see clearly like you could 10 years ago. It’s an exciting new advancement in vision correction because it uses radio waves instead of a laser to treat your vision problem.

  • No cutting — helps minimize side effects
    and speed recovery
  • Convenient and safe — your doctor performs
    the procedure in his or her office
  • Fast and easy — takes only 3 to 5 minutes and
    is virtually painless

How NearVision CK works

NearVision CK can change how the eye focuses light by reshaping the surface of your eye (cornea). When the shape is changed, light can be refocused on the correct part of your eye (retina). To produce this reshaping, NearVision CK uses the controlled release of radio waves to heat and shrink corneal tissue. This steepens the cornea and allows light to properly focus on the retina again.

Radio waves gently applied to your eye in a circular pattern, avoiding your pupil entirely. The points form a ring of tightening
(like a belt) that steepens your cornea.

What to expect during a NearVision CK procedure

Once your doctor has determined that you are a candidate for NearVision CK, your eye will be photographed to determine its current and individual shape. This will be used to plan the procedure and measure results.

What to expect before and after a NearVision CK procedure

Before the procedure, the only requirements are to not wear makeup and arrange for transportation to and from your doctor’s office. The procedure itself is fast and simple, and will take just a few minutes to perform. After the procedure, and as with other vision correction procedures, you may experience some eye discomfort and light sensitivity for a few days. Your doctor will
recommend that you apply eye drops for a few days after the procedure. Ask your doctor or ophthalmic technician for more information.


Crystalens

Being able to see your world as well as you did when you were younger, without the help of glasses or contact lenses. Being seen the way you want people to see you. Youthful. Energetic. Vibrant.

 

Being able to see the way you want to see. Near, far and all distances in between. Seamlessly. Effortlessly. Naturally. Never missing a child’s smile, the sparkle of a diamond, a cloud that looks like a face, an important plot twist in a mystery novel. Imagine a way to do it. Through your own eyes. Imagine all the possibilities. Imagine crystalens™.

WHAT IS crystalens?

crystalens, a single-focus lens, is a cataract replacement lens that works naturally with your eyes’ muscles to give you the quality of vision you enjoyed when you were younger.

The revolutionary design element that makes crystalens the state-of-the-art replacement lens are “hinges” which are designed to allow the lens to move, or accommodate to focus on objects near, far and all distances in-between seamlessly.

Unlike old-style fixed focal lenses, which didn’t move, crystalens has the ability to move, thus focusing as your eye’s natural lens does. Dr. Brenner will take precise measurements to insure the correct power selection.

THE crystalens PROCEDURE

The medical procedure to implant the crystalens is the same safe, proven cataract surgery performed annually on over 7 million eyes globally. Over 65 million procedures have been done in the US in the last 25 years.

Typically performed in an outpatient surgical facility, the actual surgery takes less than twenty minutes. In a pain free procedure, Dr. Brenner will place a few drops in your eye, then use an ultrasonic probe to remove the cloudy lens from your eye. The crystalens is then gently placed where your original lens used to be. Once surgery is complete, Dr. Brenner will place additional drops in your eye to prevent infection and decrease inflammation.

Because the opening into the eye is so small, it heals quickly on its own, without any need for stitches.

WITH crystalens, THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR

The crystalens offers significant advantages over other kinds of lens implants and corrective lenses.

Standard (single vision) lens implants don’t have the ability to provide a full range of vision. Most people who have single vision lens implants MUST wear glasses for middle and near vision.

The crystalens has the unique ability to focus on objects at varying distances using the eye’s natural muscle. This means the crystalens can provide sharper vision, without corrective lenses, throughout a full range of vision from near to far and everything in between.

The crystalens FDA one-year clinical study results indicate that 92% of the people enrolled in the study (implanted bilaterally) could see 20/25 or better at distance, 96% could see 20/20 at arm’s length and 73% could see 20/25 at near without glasses or contact lenses.

What is more exciting is that 98% of these people could pass their drivers test, 100% could see their computer or put on their makeup, and 98% could read a magazine, all without glasses or contact lenses. Also, your ability to see at approximately arm’s length (middle vision) will be greatly enhanced with the crystalens.

In addition, the quality of vision compared to wearing bifocals and/or trifocals is significantly improved. You’ll have a full range of vision, without having to tilt your head to find that portion of your glasses that allows you to see clearly. You simply look at something and the crystalens, mimicking the natural focusing ability of your eye, will automatically focus your eye at near, arm’s length, or distance.

Dr. Brenner will be glad to answer any questions you have about the crystalens™.

 

ReZoom

Multifocal IOL

The ReZoom™ Multifocal IOL is a second-generation acrylic refractive multifocal IOL. It features Balanced View Optics™ Technology – a design that provides a good balance of near, immediate and distance vision. The Balanced View Optics™ Technology design features five optical zones optimized to distribute light in a way that provides good near, intermediate and distance vision. The central zone is distance-dominant to ensure good visualization for daytime or nighttime distance activities
such as driving. The large near-dominant second zone provides near vision in a range of light conditions. The aspheric transition provides intermediate vision in all light conditions. In clinical studies, patients functioning comfortably without glasses was achieved by 93.4% for distance vision, 92.6% for intermediate vision and 81.4% for near vision.
