How is the AcrySof ReSTOR Lens Different From Others?
The AcrySof ReSTOR optical system uses apodized diffractive technology to provide a range of vision from near to mid-range to distance activities. It is intended for patients who are interested in decreasing or even eliminating their dependency on glasses and contact lenses. It is specially designed to distribute light in response to the size of your pupil at any given moment, distributing the appropriate amount of light to near and distant focal points. It is convex on both sides and is made of a soft acrylic plastic. It is folded and inserted into the eye through a small incision about 1/8 of an inch. Once inside the eye, it gently unfolds into position. 90% of patients implanted with this lens system are completely independent of spectacles after surgery.
