The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL Optical System

Better vision quality throughout the range

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL features a unique optic system that merges the strengths of both apodized diffractive and refractive technologies for better vision quality throughout the full range of vision – without glasses.

Near, Intermediate and Distance Vision - The Full Range of Vision

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL uses the central apodized diffractive region and +4.0 D correction to focus a clear image on the retina for near vision, while the peripheral refractive region, also paired with the central apodized region, helps improve distance visual acuity. As a result, 84% of AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL patients vs. 23% of monofocal IOL patients have achieved a combined uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better with near visual acuity of 20/32 or better.

Also, clinical studies indicate that AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL patients have functional intermediate vision for daily tasks such as applying make-up, shaving, reading labels on a shelf and viewing a computer monitor. 85% of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL patients achieved uncorrected intermediate vision of 20/40 at 60 cm (23.6 inches). With this range of vision, individuals can read the normal type in a newspaper, and are able to pass the vision test for a driver's license in most states.
