How the ReStor intraocular lens helps our Laguna Hills patients

Posted By: | Published On: | Multifocal lenses
Restor Lens Laguna Hills
The removal of a cataract means the removal of a natural eye lens. To complete this procedure, it is necessary to replace the natural lens with an artificial lens made of biocompatible material. The artificial lens placed into the eye is called an intraocular lens and this may be made to accommodate existing vision problems. If a monofocal lens is used to replace the natural lens, the focus is targeted on distance vision. In many cases, this type of lens can leave one in need of eye glasses for reading or near vision. Before the development of the ReStor intraocular … Continue reading

Restor Lens Lake Forest CA
Part of the process of correcting vision impacted by cataracts is to remove the clouded lens. What is removed, however, also must be replaced if there is a chance that hefty corrective eyeglasses can be avoided. Today, eye surgeons offer a number of intraocular lenses to help patients address their vision needs. Monofocal IOLs are those that correct distance vision only. In order to increase the ability to see clearly at both near and distance, some patients choose a multifocal IOL like the ReSTOR® lens. One of the goals of treatment in our office near Lake Forest, CA is to … Continue reading

The difference between a standard IOL and the toric lens for astigmatism from your California eye doctor

Toric Lens California
Although there are a number of standard and premium intraocular lenses, not all are suitable for the correction of astigmatism. A toric intraocular lens, which Dr. Salib uses in our Southern California eye institute, is ideal in this situation. This lens can also be used after cataract surgery, eliminating any need for further procedures for improved vision. Toric lenses are known to increase focus and clarity significantly for distance vision without dependence on contact lenses or eyeglasses. However, these lenses do not adjust from distance to near vision, leaving the patient to rely on reading glasses for activities such as … Continue reading
