ReSTOR®

FACT SHEET
AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL

AcrySof® ReSTOR® is a breakthrough lens that uses apodized diffractive technology to give patients a full range of vision - near through distance - and greatly reduces their reliance on reading glasses or bifocals. The AcrySof® ReSTOR® intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens used in cataract surgery for patients with or without presbyopia. The unique patented optic design results in highly-predictable visual acuity results, meaning patients can read the text on items such as prescription bottles, magazines, newspapers and computer screens, while also providing the ability to see items at a distance independent of reading glasses or bifocals. In fact, clinical trials have demonstrated that four out of five patients reported never wearing glasses or bifocals following bilateral cataract surgery.

• Clinical data demonstrates that AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL greatly reduces dependence on glasses or bifocals. 80 percent of patients in the IOL clinical study did not need to wear glasses with AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL, compared to eight percent in the monofocal control group following bilateral cataract surgery.
            * Combined Visual Acuity: 84.3 percent of patients demonstrated combined vision without glasses of 20/25 or
               better for distance and 30/32 or better for near.
            * 85 percent of AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL patients achieved 20/40 or better binocular uncorrected intermediate
               vision at 23.5 inches.

• Most states, distance vision of 20/40 allows individuals to pass the visual requirements for the driver's license test without glasses or contact lenses.
