Vision Correction with ReSTOR
Today, the excitement and advancement in cataract surgery focuses on the new lenses that are available. The advancement of technology in IOL's is a space-age plastic lens that is surgically implanted to permanently replace the old, hard natural lens of the eye. These technologies have been demonstrated to have the same safety as decades old traditional lens implants, but can also provide what many of our patients say they really want: greater freedom from glasses - not just distance glasses, but readers too. This surgery can allow many people in their late forties and older (with or without cataracts) to return to the vision they had when they were younger and did not need glasses.
The ReSTOR® lens uses a new strategy for collecting and distributing light and doesn't rely on the focusing muscles, which can lose effectiveness with age. Surgical techniques using the ReSTOR® lens can fix farsightedness and nearsightedness for our patients and improve vision for computer and reading distances, as well.
