AcrySof®
ReSTOR® IOL
At Last! An Opportunity for Visual Freedom
For most cataract patients, life without reading glasses or bifocals is
something they either experienced before presbyopia or they just dreamed about
for most of their lives. But today, The AcrySof®
ReSTOR® IOL is turning those dreams into
reality with its revolutionary lens technology, which is designed to allow
patients to see clearly at all distances without bifocals or reading glasses.
The AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL is now available and delivers a high level of glasses-free vision.

Presbyopia makes it difficult
to focus on close objects |
The AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL is a breakthrough intraocular lens (IOL) that can provide patients a
full range of vision -- near through distance -- and greatly reduce their
reliance on reading glasses or bifocals. The AcrySof®
ReSTOR® IOL is an artificial lens used in cataract
surgery for patients with and without presbyopia.
Presbyopia occurs when the natural lens inside the eye looses its ability to
change shape and eventually affects everyone, including whose who are
nearsighted, farsighted or had perfect vision most of their life.
Until recently, most patients had their vision improved
with a monofocal IOL. Although the quality of their distant vision was
excellent, most patients needed reading glasses to see near objects.
AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL provides a full range of vision, decreasing dependence on reading glasses or
bifocals.
Why we offer our patients the Acrysof®
ReSTOR® IOL
- This unique IOL results in highly-predictable visual results, meaning
patients can read prescription bottles, magazines, newspapers and computer
screens, while also seeing items at a distance without reading glasses or
bifocals. In fact, in clinical trials, 80 percent of
patients receiving the AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL reported that they never wear glasses for any activities.
- The AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL is made of the same highly-biocompatible material as Alcon’s
market-leading AcrySof® family of
intraocular lenses, which have been implanted in more than 21 million human
eyes since 1991.
- AcrySof® ReSTOR®
IOL uses a combination of three complementary technologies: apodization,
diffraction and refraction. Its unique design provides the ability to
focus light correctly and automatically on the retina for images at various
distances without mechanical movement of the lens, which is required by
other lenses designed to provide a full range of vision.
