top 24. Q: How do I know who is a qualified crystalens implant surgeon?
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. Many surgeons have a webpage where you can learn about the doctor and the practice. There is no substitute for a face-to-face consultation with one or more surgeons prior to undergoing implant surgery. It is also very useful to contact patients who have the crystalens implant in their eye. Ask your surgeon if he/she can refer you to several crystalens patients. You can also contact your state medical society for information about a particular surgeon.
