There are various types of artificial lens implants including Restor® and Crystalens®. The crystalline lens is usually clear at birth, allowing light to pass through it for sharp vision. With age, the lens loses its transparency, becoming cloudy and interfering with various aspects of vision. At this stage it is considered a cataract.

AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens
The AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens replaces the natural lens after cataract surgery. It has a patented optic design using apodization, diffraction and refraction technologies. The apodized diffractive optic design gives it the ability to focus light correctly on the retina for images at near and far distances without mechanical movement of the lens. The AcrySof ReSTOR® Intraocular Lens has been shown in a clinical study to provide good near and distance vision with increased independence from glasses.

Crystalens®, is a single-focus accommodating intraocular lens with "hinges" which theoretically works with your natural eye muscles to allow the lens to move, or accommodate to focus on objects near, far and in-between.

In the past, cataract lenses were only able to correct distance vision, often leaving patients with the need for reading glasses. Multifocal IOLs offer patients freedom from glasses after cataract surgery by improving vision at all distances and at any time of day. These lenses can quickly change focus to accommodate your vision needs. Up to 80 percent of patients do not need to rely on glasses with multifocal IOLs.
Toric IOLs are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism. In the past, patients with astigmatism would need eyeglasses or contact lenses even after cataract surgery in order to correct the problem. Toric IOLs such as AcrySof Toric corrects cataracts and astigmatism with just one lens, providing a more convenient and affordable solution to your vision needs.
