Crystalens Testimonial:

Patients: Ralph and Rose Viti

Ralph and Rose, whose Crystalens implants were expertly placed by Dr. Befanis, are the first couple in the country to have had both their eyes treated with these advanced IOLs.

"Ralph and I met Dr. Befanis several years ago when we attended one of his seminars on cataract surgery," explains Rose. "We were both impressed, so earlier this year, when Ralph thought he ought to be tested for cataracts, we both scheduled an appointment with Dr. Befanis. "As it turned out, we both did have cataracts, but I was honestly in a quandary. I didn't want to have cataract surgery to restore my distance vision, only to have the aggravation of taking reading glasses on and off all the time. I was excited when Dr. Befanis explained the benefits of the Crystalens to us. It sounded like it offered the best of both worlds!"

"It's worth it," Rose says with conviction. "I had my first surgery in late March and by mid-April, Ralph and I had completed both our surgeries. They were painless and went exactly as we had expected them to, but we had a couple of pleasant surprises in store."

"Colors are much brighter, as you'd expect after cataract surgery," observes Rose, "but now, thanks to Dr. Befanis and our Crystalens implants, Ralph no longer has reading glasses to misplace, and I can read even the smallest print without ever having to rely on magnifying glasses. I'd make this investment again in an instant!"
