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.
