How is the ReSTOR® IOL better?

Cataract surgery has undergone tremendous technological advances. This year millions of patients will undergo cataract surgery. With the ReSTOR® IOL, this revolutionary lens is designed to allow patients to see clearly at all distances without bifocals or reading glasses.

In the original clinical study, 80% of patients receiving the ReSTOR® IOL reported never having to wear glasses for any activities. These activities include reading a book, working on the computer, driving a car – both day and night – and playing golf and tennis. In fact, patients were so pleased with their vision, nearly 94% of patients said they would have the ReSTOR® IOL implanted again, if given the choice.

As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks. Your doctor will provide you with more detailed information about the potential risks and benefits to help decide whether cataract surgery and the ReSTOR® IOL is right for you.
