ReSTOR^® IQ Acrysof^® IOL

For our patients with cataracts and presbyopia we offer the ACRYSOF® RESTOR® multifocal intraocular lens implant, which corrects for both of these conditions at the same time, while eliminating the need for glasses after surgery in most patients. Clinical trials have shown that over 80 percent of patients receiving this lens never required glasses for any task following surgery.

For those patients with cataracts and astigmatism there is the ACRYSOF® Toric lens, which corrects for both conditions simultaneously.

The Doctors of Zeiter Eye can now offer the opportunity for freedom from reading glasses and bifocals.

Until recently, life without reading glasses or bifocals wasn’t a reality for most cataract patients, however Zeiter Eye Medical Group can now offer you that option. The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL is a unique technological innovation that can provide you with enhanced image quality and a full range of vision – near, far and everywhere in-between – for increased independence from reading glasses or bifocals!

Here’s how the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL works.

While you perform such daily activities as reading, watching television or working at the computer, your eyes are constantly focusing on objects at varying distances – up close, far away and in-between. Your ability to quickly change focus throughout a range of vision is called accommodation. Unfortunately, as we age we begin to lose this ability and gradually become more and more dependent on bifocals or reading glasses.

Thankfully, by combining the strengths of apodized diffractive and refractive technologies, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL can now provide quality near, intermediate and distance vision, as well as increased independence from reading glasses or bifocals. With the addition of proven aspheric technology, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL takes the advancements one step further, for a lens with enhanced image quality and clarity.

Apodized Diffractive Technology

Diffraction involves the spreading of light as it passes through a lens. You’ll notice that, on the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL, the center of the lens surface consists of a series of tiny rings – this is known as an apodized diffractive optic. Apodization is the gradual tapering of different diffractive levels (or “steps”) on a lens, creating a smooth transition of light between distant, intermediate and near focal points. This means is that the series of tiny steps in the center of the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL work together to focus light, providing excellent near, intermediate and distance vision.

Refractive Technology

Refraction involves the redirection of light as it passes through a lens. The outer ring of the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL is a refractive region designed for excellent distance vision. This refractive area bends light as it passes through the lens, accurately focusing it on the retina for a crisp, clear image.

Aspheric Technology

Even healthy eyes still contain some imperfections, or “aberrations.” Spherical aberration, a type of imperfection common to cataract patients, can eventually lead to a reduction in visual acuity and function. Thankfully, with the addition of a proven aspheric optic, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL can correct for these spherical aberrations, leading to enhanced clarity.

Vision for your everyday life

Incredible range of vision

For most patients, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL delivers excellent near, intermediate and distance vision, potentially without the need for reading glasses or bifocals. In fact, with this increase in vision quality, many AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL patients would be able to pass the visual acuity portion of the driver’s license exam in most states.

Better vision in various lighting conditions

The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL delivers quality vision in a variety of lighting conditions. In brightly lit conditions, the central apodized diffractive portion of the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL sends light waves simultaneously to near, distant and intermediate focal points; in dimly lit conditions, the surrounding refractive area sends more light for distance vision.

Enhanced image quality

The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL was designed with a unique aspheric optic that provides enhanced image quality compared to traditional spherical lenses. By correcting spherical aberrations that can develop on the lens with age, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL offers high-resolution image quality.
