ReSTOR Multifocal Lens

For patients with cataracts and/or presbyopia there is refractive lens exchange with the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens, which corrects for both conditions at the same time, eliminating the need for glasses after surgery in most patients. Clinical trials showed that over 80 percent of patients receiving this lens never required glasses for any task following surgery.

Clinical Results

Finally, quality vision and true freedom from glasses for 80% of patients

During the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL clinical studies, patients experienced lifestyle enhancement through quality vision, and greater freedom from reading glasses and bifocals. In fact, according to the AcrySof® ReSTOR® clinical studies, four out of five patients with the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL reported never wearing glasses following cataract surgery in both eyes, compared to only 1 out of 10 patients with monofocal lenses. This is the highest level of freedom from glasses ever demonstrated in an IOL clinical trial.

Additionally, the AcrySof® ReSTOR® clinical studies indicated that nearly 94% of the study subjects were so satisfied with their new quality vision that they would have the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL implanted again.

How it Works

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is a multi-focal lens that contains a unique mechanism to provide both distance and near vision.

The apodized diffractive optics comprises 12 concentric “steps” around the optic zone of the lens. These steps, which appear as rings in the diagram below, create different focusing levels from near to distant vision.
