ReSTOR Lens
Finally, the opportunity for freedom from reading glasses and bifocals!
Until recently, life without reading glasses or bifocals was not an option for most cataract patients. You now have an option. The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is a unique technological innovation that can provide you with quality vision throughout the entire visual spectrum - near through distance - with increased independence from reading glasses or bifocals!
How does the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL work? As we perform daily activities such as reading, watching
television or working at the computer, our eyes are constantly focusing on objects at varying distances -
up close, far away and everything in-between. The ability to quickly change focus throughout this range
of vision is called accommodation. Unfortunately, this ability diminishes as we grow older, causing us
to become dependent on bifocals or reading glasses.
However, the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL was designed to provide quality near to distance vision by combining the strengths of apodized diffractive and refractive technologies. Similar technology has been used for years in microscopes and telescopes to improve image quality, and has now been patented for use in intraocular lenses by Alcon.
