Variable result: I quit using accommodative iol's several years ago because results were variable. It worked well in a few and not at all in many. At 38 years old, a cataract would be rare; so get a second opinion.

Accommodative IOL: Crystalens & Trulign Toric ( by Bausch + Lomb) are only FDA-approved intraocular lenses (IOLs) that use a method called accommodation (IOL tried to mimic back & forth movement of natural lens in capsular bag). These pts should see better at near & intermediate without glasses compared to those who had a monofocal IOL: more info: eyedoc2020 blogspot com
