ReSTOR® The opportunity for freedom from reading glasses and bifocals.The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IQ 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.
Unlike monofocal lenses used in traditional cataract surgery, ReSTOR® IQ is a multifocal lens, designed to restore your full range of vision near through distance — so you can regain your visual freedom.

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® IQ is right for you.
