Are there risks with the ReSTOR IOL procedure?
There are risks with any medical procedure. These risks are best discussed individually with your qualified vision care surgeon to fully understand how your vision and health may be impacted. The greatest risk, as with any eye surgery is infection, which is very rare. Patients normally use several days worth of antibiotics in drop form to minimize this risk. Lens implant surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed in the u. S. All possible risks should be discussed with your ophthalmologist during your evaluation prior to Restor surgery.
