Multi-focal Lenses (ReZoom / ReSTOR)

MULTIFOCAL VISION
There are different IOL options available for the treatment of both cataracts and presbyopia -- monofocal and multifocal lenses. Multifocal lenses are designed to provide patients who have a strong desire for greater independence from glasses or contacts with multifunctional vision.

RESUME LIFE WITH REZOOM™ MULTIFOCAL IOL
The ReZoom Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) is designed to provide patients with multifunctional vision. The ReZoom lens not only treats cataracts, but it also turns back the clock to bring back much of your ability to see up close and at a distance. For many people who have worn glasses or contacts most of their lives, the ReZoom Multifocal lens can mean independence for the first time.

After surgery with traditional single vision monofocal lenses, most people experience very good vision at a single focal point -- either near or at a distance. In most cases, the monofocal lens provides good distance vision for driving, walking and some everyday activities. However, most people receiving single vision monofocal lenses require reading glasses or bifocals to have a full range of vision.

The ReZoom Multifocal Lens has a patented new design called Balanced View Optics™ Technology. This lens design creates multiple focal points so you can see well at a variety of distances, be it near, mid-distance, or far. In fact, in clinical studies, 92% of those who received the ReZoom Multifocal lens reported wearing glasses either "never" or "occasionally."

ReZoom Multifocal Lens

Five focusing zones for a full range of vision
The ReZoom Multifocal Lens has uniquely proportioned visual zones that provide it with its major advantage. Each ReZoom Multifocal Lens is divided into five different zones with each zone designed for different light and focal distances. Unlike other earlier multifocal lens designs, the ReZoom Multifocal Lens has proportioned the size of its zones to provide for good vision in a range of light conditions. For instance, some zones have been designed to offer greater low light/ distance vision support during night driving.

If you are diagnosed with cataracts and are experiencing one or more of the following issues, you may be a candidate for the ReZoom Multifocal lens:

  • Difficulty reading
  • Difficulty seeing close objects
  • Difficulty seeing to drive, especially at night
  • Changing glasses prescriptions
  • Needing bifocals

ReSTOR

What is ReSTOR®?

The AcrySof ReSTOR® Apodized Diffractive Optic Posterior Intraocular Lens is a permanent artificial lens. The ReSTOR® lens is convex on both sides and made of a soft plastic. It is folded and inserted into the eye through a tiny incision smaller than the optic diameter of the lens. After insertion, the lens gently unfolds to ReSTOR® vision. The supporting arms of the lens maintain proper positioning within the eye.

How does it work?

The AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens replaces the natural lens. It has a patented optic design using apodization, diffraction and refraction technologies. The apodized diffractive optic design gives it the ability to focus light correctly on the retina for images at various distances without mechanical movement of the lens.

  • Apodization is a gradual reduction or blending of the diffractive step heights.
  • This unique technology optimally manages light energy delivered to the retina because it distributes the appropriate amount of light to near and distant focal points, regardless of the lighting situation.
  • Apodized diffractive optics are designed to improve image quality while minimizing visual disturbances. The result is an increased range of quality vision that delivers a high level of spectacle freedom.

When is ReSTOR® used?
The AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens is used in adult patients with and without presbyopia, who desire near, intermediate and distance vision with increased independence from glasses and contact lenses. It is FDA approved for use after cataract surgery.

What will ReSTOR® be able to accomplish?
The AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens has been shown in a clinical study to provide good near, intermediate and distance vision with increased independence from glasses.

When should ReSTOR® not be used?
There are no known contraindications. However, based on the FDA clinical trials, Alcon, the lens manufacturer, has indicated the following types of patients possibly should not have the AcrySof ReSTOR® Apodized Diffractive Intraocular Lens:

  • Patients that are hypercritical with unrealistic expectations
  • Patients with excessive complaints about their prescription
  • Patients who drive at night for a living or whose occupation or hobbies depend on good night vision
  • Patients who are amateur or commercial airline pilots
  • Patients who have life long complaints about glare
  • Patients who are happy wearing glasses
  • Patients who want guarantees on surgical outcomes

Who is a good candidate for the ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens?
Virtually everyone who has cataracts and is in good general health may be candidate for implant surgery, but people with chronic infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or other health problems may have to wait until these conditions are under control prior to surgery.

People who have had prior laser eye surgery including LASIK, Custom LASIK, PRK, LASEK, Epi LASIK or any other corneal Laser Eye Surgery may be acceptable candidates for ReSTOR® implantation as long as their eyes are in good health. After a thorough examination and consultation, your surgeon will be able to better advise you if you qualify for the ReSTOR® implant.
