Surgery to treat cataracts is an outpatient procedure where an eye surgeon removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with an artificial lens (IOL).

The new lens ReSTOR(tm) gives 80% of patients' freedom from glasses for both distance and near vision. The remaining patients only wear glasses on a limited basis; such as computer use. Since the technology of this procedure is very similar to the technique used for cataract surgery, the safety risks and possibility of unknown side effects are far lower than with other kinds of new technology

The ReSTOR Lens is used to correct Presbyopia in normally sighted people. It can also be used as a low vision device for patients with Macular Degeneration. ReSTOR gives a much wider field of vision than telescopic devices currently used for Macular Degeneration.
