ReStor™ IOL

The AcrySof IQ ReSTOR® IOL is a unique technological innovation that can provide you with enhanced image quality and a full range of vision - near, far and everywhere in between - for increased independence from reading glasses or bifocals.

As we perform activities such as watching television, reading or working at the computer, our eyes are constantly focusing on objects at varying distances. The ability to quickly change focus throughout our range of vision is called accommodation. We begin to lose this ability as we grow older, gradually becoming more and more dependent on bifocals or reading glasses.

The AcrySof IQ ReSTOR® IOL is divided into two main areas, a refractive outer ring that focuses light for distance vision, and a series of apodized diffractive rings in the center of the lens that focus light for near and intermediate vision. Together, these areas provide you with the multiple focal points, for excellent vision at all distances.

The ReZoom® Multifocal Lens Technology
Balanced View Optics ™ Technology literally provides multiple focal points so you can see well at a variety of distances. The Rezoom Multifocal lens has five uniquely proportioned visual zones designed to provide clear vision for different light and focal distances.

The Rezoom lens is providing patients with a full range of vision and greater independence from glasses or contact lenses. Clinical studies show 92% of those receiving the ReZoom lens technology "never" or "only occasionally", need to wear glasses. Although you might prefer to use glasses for prolonged reading, to read small type, or to drive at night, most people report they can go to the store and conduct most of their daily activities without depending on glasses. The full benefit of having the ReZoom Multifocal IOL lens implant will be even more noticeable when both eyes have been treated.

About Crystalens HD®
Crystalens HD® is an accommodating intraocular lens that, unlike a standard IOL, can treat both a person’s cataracts and presbyopia- loss of near and intermediate vision. You probably noticed in your forties that you started to lose some of your up-close vision and had to start wearing reading glasses. Crystalens HD not only treats your cataracts (a clouding or hardening of your lens), but can also reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses. It does so by recreating accommodation similar to your eye’s natural lens. The unique Crystalens HD can reduce or eliminate glasses for most activities including: reading a book, working on the computer, and driving a car. Crystalens HD was modeled after the human eye. Like the natural lens, it uses the eye muscle to flex and accommodate in order to focus on objects in the environment at all distances. Crystalens HD dynamically adjusts to your visual needs.

Quick facts on Crystalens HD®

• Patients who are good candidates for standard monofocal IOLs are typically good candidates for Crystalens HD. If a patient has healthy eyes, has not had previous cataract surgery, and does not suffer from any major health problems then he or she is likely to be a good candidate.
• More than twice the number of patients implanted with Crystalens HD could see well at all distances compared to a standard IOL.
• Most Crystalens HD patients have reduced their dependence on glasses and are able to read the newspaper or a phone book without glasses.
• Most Crystalens HD patients are able to see their computers, dashboards and anything else at arm’s length without glasses.
• Most Crystalens HD patients are able to see 20/40 or better after surgery, so the clock across the room and the TV in the corner are clearly within sight.
• Many of our Crystalens HD patients can see well enough to do away with their reading glasses, bifocals, or contact lenses.
• Crystalens HD procedure is highly successful and most people regain very good distance vision, somewhere between 20/20 and 20/40.
