Medicare Ruling Gives Cataract
Patients Access to New Lenses
by Mary Theobald
Cataract lenses can restore full range of vision.
(PRWEB) October 12, 2005 -- Seniors undergoing cataract surgery may now pay
privately for a lens that corrects eyesight at all distances. Previously,
Medicare reimbursements covered only less expensive lenses with a single focus,
which meant most cataract patients still needed eyeglasses following surgery.
Crystalens is the first intraocular lens, or IOL, for cataracts that provides
accommodation — a full range of functional vision from distance to reading
vision. Crystalens is a new technology that is designed to mimic the eye’s
natural ability to focus on distant, middle, and near objects.
“This is a big victory for Medicare patients, who will no longer be barred from
receiving the best technology,” said U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox, R-Calif., in a
news release. More than 2.2 million cataract surgeries are performed each year.
“Patients tell me they see better than they have in years,” said Paul Cutarelli,
M.D., who says his patients are amazed at their vision following cataract
surgery with Crystalens. “For some, this is the best vision they’ve had since
they were children.”
Medicare still will not pay the full cost of cataract surgery with these newer
lenses, such as Crystalens. Patients pay the difference in cost between the
original technology and the new technology.
About Paul Cutarelli, M.D.
Paul E. Cutarelli, M.D., is one of the most experienced vision correction
specialists in the United States. He has performed most of his more than 40,000
procedures in Colorado. He is one of only a handful of surgeons to have
completed a full one-year training fellowship in refractive surgery, as well as
a fellowship in corneal surgery. He has served as co-investigator on more than
15 clinical trials for refractive surgery and presbyopia.
