The AcrySof ReSTOR ^® lens uses an innovative apodized diffractive technology to provide a range of vision. It works like two lenses in one. Combining refractive technology for distance vision and apodized diffractive technology for near vision through a series of concentric rings, the ReSTOR ^® lens allows light from both distance and near objects to focus clearly on the retina. This is something that many cataract patients would otherwise only achieve by wearing glasses.

Clinical studies have shown that 80% of those with the ReSTOR ^® lens did not have to use glasses for any activity after surgery, while only 23% of the control group who received conventional IOLs achieved this same level of visual freedom.

The actual procedure to implant the ReSTOR ^® lens is similar to traditional small-incision cataract surgery. Dr. Jay Bansal uses the "no needles, no stitch, no patch" surgery technique, so you are relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. It takes only a few minutes and is performed in an outpatient facility.

As with all technological breakthroughs, the AcrySof ReSTOR ^® lens will work better for some patients than others. As always, a comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation is necessary before determining which lens implant will be right for you. Then, in the expert hands of an accomplished surgeon like Dr. Jay Bansal, you can discover the future of your vision and you'll like what you see.

Remember, all multifocal IOLs have advantages and disadvantages for people with certain lifestyles or eye conditions. A thorough examination is necessary to help determine which type of IOL is right for your eyes and lifestyle.
