Multifocal Intraocular Lenses

Correction of Presbyopia now possible with Multifocal Intraocular Lenses!

The correction of presbyopia is now possible though accommodating, Multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOL’s). These state-of-the-art intraocular lenses allow the patient to see both near and far, significantly reducing and often eliminating the need for reading glasses. This special type of lens mimics the function of the natural lens in young people (under age 40), simulating "accommodation". Multifocal Intraocular Lenses are used to correct presbyopia through the RLE procedure.

Alcon’s ReStor intraocular lens (IOL) can substantially restore a cataract patient’s ability to see both near and distant objects without the aid of reading glasses or bifocals. The ReSTOR IOL's innovative lens optics allows for a greater range of accommodation, thereby eliminating or significantly reducing dependence on reading glasses following cataract surgery— without compromising on distance vision. More people are candidates for Alcon’s ReSTOR than most other lenses.
