FEMALE VOICE: It has been hailed a breakthrough in vision correction, and if you don't need it now, doctors say you may when you get older.
MALE VOICE: It is called Crystalens, and with their help, one woman says that she hasn't seen so clearly in 20 years. 7 Healthcast reporter Dr. Deanna Lites has her story.
FEMALE VOICE: It would be embarrassing because I'd look up at someone and I really couldn't see them.
DR. DEANNA LITES: Florence Doucette [phonetic] of Lynn had blurry vision from cataracts for 20 years. Her doctor said she wasn't a good candidate for Lasik. Her recommendation, a new high tech lens that can focus like her eyes once did so many years ago. Right after the operation, Florence said she noticed a big difference.
FLORENCE DOUCETTE: It's like being blind and all of a sudden you can see again. It's, it's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm thrilled. I really am.
FEMALE VOICE: This represents a really significant breakthrough in lens technology.
DR. DEANNA LITES: It's called Crystalens. Here's how it works. As the eye ages, it stiffens and clouds over, usually starting around age 45. The old, natural lens is removed and replaced with Crystalens attached to eye muscles.
FEMALE VOICE: The eye's own natural muscle moves the lens, and that allows you to see well at a range of distances from distance to near.
FLORENCE DOUCETTE: And I can read the newspaper. I can see signs. I can see the signs on the highway. I can do my job better. I'm great on my computer now. It's almost like a miracle. It really is.
DR. DEANNA LITES: It's the first FDA approved lens that focuses like a natural eye, and now Medicare has agreed to cover about half the cost of the operation.
In clinical trials 85% of Crystalens patients said they could focus at all distances. Now, the procedure cannot correct eyes that are damaged from medical conditions such as diabetes.
