An ideal procedure for farsighted patients over 40, PRELEX(SM) utilizes modern cataract surgery techniques and offers farsighted patients who are not candidates for 100% blade-free IntraLASIK the ability to have clearer vision at near, far and intermediate distances.

The PRELEX procedure involves replacing your eye's natural lens with an artificial lens implant that has correct focusing power for the individual's eye. This procedure is one of the safest procedures that can be performed on the human body. PRELEX takes approximately 15 minutes per eye; the second procedure is usually performed within 1 to 2 weeks; and there is usually little to no discomfort.

PRELEX now offers better vision at near, intermediate and far distances thanks to new advances in lens implant technology. The ReZoom(TM) intraocular lens is a second-generation refractive multifocal lens that offers patients greater independence from glasses than traditional monofocal lenses. The ReZoom proprietary multifocal design provides a range of vision that traditional monofocal lenses cannot match. Another such lens is the ReSTOR lens, which, like ReZoom, can treat presbyopia and other conditions, giving patients greater freedom from corrective lenses, even reading glasses.

We also offer the revolutionary Crystalens -- a single-focus 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.

The doctors and staff at the John Kenyon American Eye Institute have years of experience in assuring the best possible vision attainable with PRELEX and other lens implant procedures.
