Acrysof ReSTOR Implants

The Alcon Family of AcrySof™ IQ Implants

Believe it or not, there has never been a better time to have cataract surgery. Today, patients can choose from a wide variety of replacement 

lenses – and the results can be extraordinary. Depending on the lens you choose, you could have clear, sharp vision with an increased 

opportunity to be less dependent on glasses or other corrective lenses!

Which Lens is Right for Me?

An intraocular lens, or IOL, is an artificial lens used to replace your cloudy natural lens. Here are three of the most common types of IOLs currently available and what each is designed to do for your vision:

       AcrySof® IQ  Monofocal lenses have a single focal point for clear distance vision. However, while distance vision is usually improved, most patients still need

       to wear glasses for up-close tasks, like reading or working at a computer.

      Astigmatism-Correcting Lenses such as the AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL, are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism. Similar to monofocal IOLs, these                lenses offer much improved distance vision, though patients will usually still require glasses for near-vision activities.

       Multifocal lenses, like the AcrySof® IQ Panoptix and the Vivity IOLs, are designed to provide a fuller range of clear, sharp vision. These lenses restore                          cataract impaired vision and can correct for nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia.

AcrySof® IQ IOLs are the most widely utilized lenses in the world.  Vision for distance, near, and everywhere in between to get you back to your day-to-day activities

Your doctor will help you determine which lens is right for you, based on your eyes, your visual needs and your lifestyle. Remember to talk to him or her about all of your options.
