There are several types of intra ocular lenses (IOLs) to choose from for cataract surgery. You have two options today in choosing a lens replacement solution for your vision needs.
Correcting Distance Vision With a Monofocal IOL
A monofocal IOL is designed to provide clear distance vision. This means you will be able to see objects far away. However, you will need glasses for reading and any type of close detailed work. Monofocal IOLs have been the standard implant used for decades to help patients after a cataract is removed. Millions of monofocal IOLs have been successfully implanted providing cataract patients with clear distance vision.
Correcting Distance and Near Vision With Multifocal IOLs
Recent advances in IOL technology have made it possible for you to read magazines, newspapers and computer screens, without reading glasses or bifocals, while still clearly seeing objects at a distance. ReSTOR® and ReZoomTM Lenses are the latest technology available for intra ocular lens implant (IOL). These lenses have the ability to help you focus close (for reading), intermediate (for computer use) and far.
The Acrysof® ReSTOR® multifocal lens uses patented apodized
diffractive technology similar to that used in microscopes and
telescopes to improve image quality. Twelve very small, concentric
circles create a gradual tapering of layered steps from the center to
the outside edge of this lens to create a smooth transition of light
between the distance and near focal points. This series of tiny
concentric steps work together to focus light for both near and
distance vision.

In a clinical study, 80% of patients receiving the Acrysof® ReSTOR® IOL reported that they never
wear glasses for any activities. With the Acrysof® ReSTOR® IOL they can read a book, work on the computer,
cook, and drive a car - day or night - and play golf or tennis with the increased freedom from glasses.

The ReZoom™ IOL is a second-generation refractive multifocal acrylic IOL that provides cataract
patients with greater independence from glasses. It features Balanced View Optics™ technology that
distributes light over five optic zones for enhanced restoration of visual function providing distance,
intermediate and near vision. ReZoom™ lenses are so effective that 92% of its patients never or seldom
need to wear glasses.
