Can I have ReSTOR IOLs implanted in both my eyes during the same appointment?
Generally, when receiving treatment for presbyopia or cataract surgery with ReSTOR IOLs or with any advanced IOL, Dr. Carter will usually only implant a ReSTOR IOL in one of your eyes during the first procedure. The second eye procedure is typically performed one to two weeks later. This is done for a couple different reasons. First, having only one eye corrected at a time allows you to adjust to the improved vision in just one eye, rather than shocking your system. It also allows you to see with the untreated eye while your ReSTOR IOL eye is healing.
