I wanted to have it out, but they said, no, that wasn't possible, as I'd had YAG laser, in fact several times. I have been back twice and he keeps saying my vision on the right side (distance) isn't perfect and that he gave me a prescription for glasses for now and we will reevaluate in the fall. Save your money. Halos and blurriness an night and can't see far read signs etcnot past the front hood of my car. It can be challenging a come with a lot of head aches. You would have to know from your chart what those numbers are. Prior to getting the surgery I wore rigid gas permeable contacts. I did use contact lenses for about 35 years and was able to see better until I have cataract. The ophthalmologist said they dont even sell these lens in their practice because of the terrible results. I am a 45 year old male and got Crystalens in both eyes in May (separated 2 weeks apart). They didn't work. Thank you! wish my eyes weren't so blurry so I could read all the comments. That did not happen. Anyway, back to my Crystalens complaint. They put a plain lens in and because of damage from the previous Crystalens they had to use a ZAG laser on my eye to reduce the fogging left over. This will surely increase the credibility of your complaint. I believe he ordered the side pieces slightly longer to ensure that I could read, and the lens puts pressure on my eye when I read too much. He saidi the lens was tilted and that it had to come out. Went to an Ophthalmologist who told me he would never recommend thesse lenses for one of the reasons the goop in our eyes build up on those wings thus preventing the promised movement. CRYSTALENS /// JUST SAY NO ! Class actions in U.S. district courts are regulated by federal laws like the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 (CAFA), which allows any class action I will wind up having wasted $3400 and still wearing glasses for all but distance. She has been losing a great deal of weight, complains that everything she eats burns, her eyes are always pinkish, is weak, feels light-headed and is afraid to drive for fear of fainting. I feel so stupid to have paid $4000 out of pocket to have my vision ruined..I say we need a class action now! I just had both eyes down at age 31 didn't get the Crystal lens thank god. My wife had Crystalens implanted in both eyes in August, 2012. This complaint was posted by a verified customer. Very annoying! I had Crystalens implanted in 2006, possibly the first patient in Texas. What the heck was that plan when they were supposed to "accommodate"?? I had a Crystalens implanted in my left eye in October 2011, and can see good up close and intermediate..but my distance vision sucks! I paid $10, 000 above insurance for these premium lens. If I receive 20 + email addresses I will contact I had Crystalens placed in my right eye in August. Sorry not sorry for saying this. Let me know about the lawsuit..I would love to join in! I think Bausch and Lomb should reimburse me for this disaster! I had Crystalens implant in my right eye in 2009. She was healthy and active before the surgery, a voracious reader and worked every crossword puzzle she could find. I have Crystalens in both eyes and have experienced terrible results from the beginning. They were fixable but I had had it so I returned them to the office that had provided them. If we try to do alone it is hard to prove. I will never be able to do the same kind of work I once did, and I am just grateful to be employed in a low paying entry lever cashier job at this time, and I am continuously concerned about being let go for my lack of vision at work. The YAG helped in making the eye not feel like it was sunk in a deep hole, but I still see what looks like a rim, just like when I wore contacts. My other eye (which they said needed replacing the week after I got the Crystalens), because it too has a catarct, is starting to distort a lot. I don't fly any more because I am retired but have always been critical of my vision. mother had Crystalenses PUSHED off on her in cataract removal procedure. Don't know really what will happen, but I do know, Crystal Lens does not work right. Even the Big street signs are difficult to see. I had them put in both eyes three months ago. Because they operate by being attached to the muscle, and if the muscle isn't working right, the lens isn't either, and my vision has been horrid. The laser was suppose to reflect the same as the contact, but now the near vision is even worse. I totally agree. It is now three years later and my eye sight has never been worse. I had 5 more laser treatments. Class action lawsuits are found in every state, but states like California, New York, Florida, New Jersey and Texas tend to have the highest number of class action complaints filed in America. I can not believe I am going to have to live with this the rest of my life! I too need help and advise regarding to this matter. That did not happen. When they check my eyes, they say everything is ok. NO IT's NOT. I will back to this site to see if we have a number of people who agree with me.Jackie. We have laws to protect consumers. Ive only had these for seven years and was never told that they could NOT be removed. She suffered with poor vision at all distances and was so light sensitive that she had to sit in a dark room with sunglasses and could not go outside except on very cloudy days. I was promised that the lens would self adjust so I can see near and far. It was still hurting and could not see. I closed my left eye and saw faint images. What a scam. Needless to say, I am very sorry that I paid $4700 for the Crystalens lenses. TO ALL OUT THERE! Anybody did a lawsuit on the Crystal lenses since I have my surgery on July 2014 I been the same problems like everybody else, never had a problem with my far vision and now is I cannot see the signs unless I am very close. WELL--I wish I NEVER put this lens in my eye--I CANCELLED the second eye surgery. He is well aware of the problems with good solutions. A new pair of reading glasses, and a pair that allows me to drive at night without glare interfering with my vision. Now I can't drive at night and it is difficult to work because of my vision. I just wish I was warned about these downfalls ahead of time, instead of being told I would have near-perfect to perfect vision, and have no more halos or glare from lights, but it seems at that time, they were really just trying to get as much money as possible. SO What if I have it replaced? I complained to Bausch & Lomb over a year ago, all they say is nothing wrong with the crystalens, I think there is strength in numbers, everyone who has had a problem with the crystalens should form a group and then we can get together and bring a suit against the maker and the Doctors make you believe this is the best thing out there. The only plus is that colors are brighter. I would love to be part of class action suit against the manufacturer. If they had not been accomodating and did not care that I couldn't complete the test, I may have not gotten the license. Hi, That would not have been possible if I had dry eyes. He sent me to Dr. Davidson and he said the university never puts those in because of the Z factor (which I guess is the tilting of the lens). I have now had several laser surgeries on it, thought he could fix my eye did make it to where I can see, but now I have to wear glasses full time because my Crystalens from Bausch and Lomb does not stay in place on its hinges, and still changes my site often . Letters were supposed to be sent to patients that the lot may or were defective.

Doc says the lens is stuck in a forward position. My vision is horrible--blurry, unable to see well at any distanceTerribly frustrated. Bausch + Lomb voluntary initiated the recall due to a physician complaint of haze on the Crystalens AO I had Crystalens implanted 1 1/2 years ago. Dr. told me this was the way to go and the best lens I would not need glasses, so I went with his advice. She states that bright colors and patterns overwhelm her visually, and other senses like smell and taste are also affected. It's a milllion dollar business!!! I finally gave up with him and pursued help from other ophthalmologists but to no avail . I'm not accusing, but would like to know if the lack of experience of the surgeons has led to these complications. My original surgeon that I paid $8000 to, over and above my insurance coverage, on my follow up basically slapped me on my butt and said see you in year? My doctor asked if I needed glasses post-surgery, would I rather wear glasses to see distances or for close work. you need the actual medical serial number of lens put in your eye, it should be in your charts. Three months after crystal lens in both eyes, $6000 later, I am worse off than ever in my life. I read all the complaints and fortunately Dr. Davidson at Anschutz advised me that it had to be taken out. They are so expensive and is no difference then the regulars one that your Insurance will cover, Had my surgery done in February 20017 and the longer I have them the more difficult it is. everyone who reads comments on this board is familiar with what the doctor tells you to expect after the surgery. Totally disappointed with the misrepresentation. I have written to Bausch & Lomb to no avail. The Dr keeps telling me to do eye exercises and maybe it will start working. When I answered "distance" he sneered at me. So, I'm all fixed with glasses that counteract the effect of the crystalens. I made the mistake of not getting bifocals. This is our justice system allowing the buddy system doctors to now be "judges" and "judges" of their own industry.. Like everyone else I was told I was a good candidate and that I would love them. My night vision and distance vision is fine but I'm back to using and losing reading classes.

I can see well, but when I enter a place with florescent lights like: an airport, stores, or when I drive at night; the glare causes me grate discomfort and confusion. However, I cannot see Street signs until I am only about 30 feet in front of the sign. I'm upset that it seems to not be able to be corrected. I could not see intermediate or distance objects and still can't. Then I went to another opthalmologist who said he did not use the Bosch & Lomb lens. We have to starts a class action lawsuit or something, any lawyers out there!!
