The opportunity for freedom from reading glasses and bifocals.

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens is a breakthrough because it corrects vision with or without cataracts and with or without presbyopia. Presbyopia is the reason many patients need reading glasses as their eyes age.

• 4 out of 5 patients NEVER needed reading glasses or bifocals following cataract surgery on both eyes
• Nearly 94% of patients in the clinical study were so satisfied with their vision they would have the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens implanted again
• 84% of patients demonstrated uncorrected vision without glasses of 20/25 or better for distance
• 84.3% of patients with the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens in both eyes achieved near vision acuity of 20/32 without reading glasses or bifocals

Incredible Range Of Vision

Unlike monofocal lenes used in traditional cataract surgery, ReSTOR® is a multifocal lens, designed to restore your full range of vision — near through distance — so you can regain your visual freedom.

Other advantages include:

• Full range of vision. With this increase in vision quality, AcrySof® ReSTOR® patients would be able to pass the visual acuity portion of the driver's license exam in most states.
  
• The ability to read small type quickly and easily. While only one of 13 patients with the other IOL could read small type, four of five AcrySof® ReSTOR® patients were still able to read small type.
  
• Better vision in all lighting situations. Whether in brightly or dimly lit conditions the apodized diffractive optics of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens minimizes the occurrence and severity of visual disturbances compared to other multifocal technology.
  
  

As with any surgical procedure, there are associated risks and benefits. While there may be a decrease in the need for glasses some patients may notice rings around lights at night. These side effects may make it more difficult to drive at night or perform tasks in low light conditions. While virtually everyone experiences an improvement in vision after surgery, some people will have better uncorrected vision than others. Therefore, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with Dr. Bryan who will let you know if ReSTOR® is right for you.
