How do I know Dr. Mahootchi is a qualified crystalens implant surgeon?

Dr. Mahootchi has been implanting the Crystalens since 2004. He is listed as such on the Crystalens website: www.crystalens.com. All surgeons who are implanting the crystalens have gone through a comprehensive training and evaluation course. Typically, these surgeons have been performing cataract surgery for years and apply many of the same techniques to implanting the crystalens.

It is also very useful to contact patients who have the crystalens implant in their eye. You can read about our happy Crystalens patients here. ... more
