AcrySof ReSTOR Apodized Diffractive Optic Posterior IOLs (ReSTOR) are permanent artificial lenses. Made of soft plastic, the ReSTOR lens is folded and inserted into the eye through a tiny incision, smaller than the optic diameter of the lens. Once inserted, the lens gently unfolds to restore vision.
A ReSTOR lens is implanted in the eye to restore vision when the natural lens is removed because of a cataract in patients with or without presbyopia (over 40 eyes). This lens can also be used to correct presbyopia in patients without cataracts.
Prior to ReSTOR, the objective was to restore distance vision with a monofocal IOL. Today, the goal is to enhance your vision with an IOL that may provide you with a full range of vision, minimizing your dependence on glasses, including reading glasses or bifocals.
Clinical Results:
Clinical studies have shown that the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL provides good near, intermediate, and distance vision without the need for glasses or contacts.
-
80% of patients with ReSTOR lenses reported that they NEVER needed glasses or contact lenses for any activities. They can read a books and the computer screen, drive a car – day or night – and play golf or tennis with freedom from glasses.
-
94% of patients were so pleased with their vision that they would have the a ReSTOR implant again, if given the chance.
