ReSTOR®
ReSTOR® is a revolutionary new option for those patients who are unable to undergo laser vision correction surgery. Laser vision correction surgery or LASIK is an innovative procedure that can help patients with glasses or contacts have perfect vision. The procedure involves removing bits of the cornea in order to create a new shape that will help individuals have better focusing power. The results: no more glasses or contacts! While this procedure is fantastic for most, those that suffer from cataracts, will not see results with LASIK and may not get good results from cataract surgery, so what can be done?
Those who have cataracts and are in otherwise good health are perfect candidates for the ReSTOR® procedure. While other vision corrections procedures help to correct your eyesight, ReSTOR® is a procedure that involves surgical implants in the eye to help correct vision. The AcrySof ReSTOR® Apodized Diffractive Optic Posterior IOL (ReSTOR®) is the process by which a permanent artificial lens is implanted into the eye to help restore vision. The ReSTOR® lens is a convex lens that is made of a soft plastic; the lens is folded and then inserted into the eye through a tiny incision. After inserted, the lens unfolds and effectively restores vision.
For those who need glasses or contacts to accomplish normal everyday tasks such as writing, reading, watching TV, driving, etc., the ReSTOR® lens replaces the natural lens within the eye. Its 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. So what does this mean for you? No more glasses or contacts! See how easy it is to live a corrective lens free life with the revolutionary ReSTOR® treatment. |
