AcrySof® ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens (IOL)

Until recently, refractive lens exchange patients received monofocal lens implants that had only a single power. This meant you had a choice of correction for either far or near vision. If you suffer from presbyopia like many people over the age 50, this would mean that you still need glasses for either reading or for distance vision. The FDA has now approved several multifocal lens implants for use by certified ophthalmologists. The multifocal IOL lens can increase your freedom from glasses for multiple distances.

The AcrySof ReSTOR IOL uses a combination of three complementary technologies: apodization, diffraction and refraction, to allow patients to experience a full range of high-quality vision. The benefit for patients is a high level of spectacle freedom. Alcon has patented the application of apodization technology to an IOL, making the AcrySof ReSTOR lens the first and only apodized diffractive IOL.

Each deluxe lens, including ReSTOR®, offers a specific focusing advantage.  Because we at Parris-Castoro specialize in a wide spectrum of deluxe lenses, we are able to help you to determine which lens may be best for you.
