The Crystalens is an artificial intraocular lens the unique ability to “zoom focus”, giving many patients the ability to see well at distance, intermediate and near without glasses following surgery. In 2001, Dr. Dell performed a series of operations using the Crystalens in an FDA-sponsored clinical research trial, which led to full FDA approval of the Crystalens in 2003. Data from the FDA clinical trial involving over 400 eyes indicated that without using any glasses, nearly every patient could see well enough to pass the Texas driver’s license exam for distance vision, but could also see well enough at near to read the stock tables in a newspaper. Qualified surgeons using the Crystalens must pass a certification process assessing their surgical skill, accuracy and proficiency. Dr. Dell serves as Co-Director of Physician Education for the Eyeonics Crystalens, and as such has personally trained hundreds of U.S. surgeons certified to use the Crystalens. For patients living outside the Austin, Texas area who wish to have surgery with Dr. Dell, arrangements can often be made to offer some of the post-operative care closer to home with one of these Crystalens certified surgeons.
