The ReSTOR lens is new technology that is now available from Dr Boxer Wachler's practice in Los Angeles. The ReSTOR lens can help to retrieve the age-related loss of reading vision and is helping cataract and other patients throughout Los Angeles. Age-related cataracts begin to blur vision as the natural lens inside the eye clouds and becomes yellow. Cataracts typically make it difficult for patients to drive, read the newpaper, and see details clearly. They often cause glare at night time. The RESTOR lens implant can correct distance vision and dramatically improve reading vision.
Conventional cataract lenses typically correct for only distance vision and reading glasses are required afterwards. The RESTOR lens differs from conventional lenses in that the RESTOR lens aids both distance and reading vision. The RESTOR lens is the latest generation deluxe lens that is the most advanced cataract implant lens available. It uses a proprietary design (almost like having bifocals inside the eye) that allows patients to have highly functional distance and reading vision without glasses.
The RESTOR lens may also be ideal for patients who do not like "monovision". Aside from patients with cataracts, the Restor lens may be suitable for people who are not LASIK candidates and for patients with farsightedness with moderate to severe presbyopia.
