IOLs - Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange is a non-laser corrective procedure in which the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), similar to cataract surgery. This procedure is for people with moderate to high degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness. Refractive Lens Exchange is a permanent and maintenance-free vision correction option with a quick visual recovery time. The outcome of the surgery is predictable; plus, it eliminates the need for future cataract surgery and preserves the central cornea.
There are two basic types of IOLs available to use for Refractive Lens Exchange, a monofocal or a multifocal IOL. A monofocal IOL is designed to provide clear vision at only one depth, usually distance. A multifocal IOL is designed to provide a full range of vision, including distance and near. The ReSTOR IOL is a multifocal implant.
The multifocal IOL is designed to provide you with a full range of vision allowing you to see objects far away and up close. The ReSTOR IOL is ideal for people with nearsightedness or farsightedness in addition to presbyopia (loss of reading vision). This lens design allows for clear distance vision (watching children playing in the backyard), near vision (reading), and intermediate vision (computer work). You may therefore be more independent of glasses for daily tasks after having a Refractive Lens Exchange with the ReSTOR lens.
