Alcon® AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL Visual Acuity
Binocular Visual Acuity
A full range of clear vision
Distance Visual Acuity
Studies show that the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL provides excellent near visual acuity without compromising distance visual acuity. In a recent study, 99% of patients who received the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL bilaterally and 98% of those who received the monofocal IOL bilaterally (control group) achieved distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better without correction.
Additionally, 88% of patients who received the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL achieved distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better without contact lenses or glasses, compared to 92% of the monofocal wearers. This indicates that the two lenses were statistically equivalent in distance visual acuity.
Near Visual Acuity
74% of patients receiving the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL bilaterally achieved near visual acuity of 20/25 or better without correction by contact lenses or glasses, while only 14% of the bilateral monofocal control group achieved this. At this level, patients can read the normal type in a newspaper.
In addition, 85% of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL patients achieved functional uncorrected intermediate vision of 20/40 at 60 cm.
The unique apodized diffractive optic design of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL enables this exceptional visual performance, without physical movement of the lens inside the eye.
