Our daily
activities like reading, watching TV etc. require our eyes to focus on
different objects at varying distances – up-close, far away and everything in
between. The ability to focus at near distances is called ‘accommodation’. As
we grow old, this ability to focus near objects gets diminished. This is called
presbyopia. As a result, we use presbyopia glasses to focus for near work.
AcrySof ReSTOR IOL is recognised by the FDA as an effective permanent treatment
for presbyopia. Roshan Eye Care Hospital is one of the select hospitals in India
authorized to implant the AcrySof ReSTOR IOLs.
Toric
IOL’s: Provide distance vision without spectacles in 90% of
cases and only reading glasses are needed
Monofocal
IOL: These lenses have the advantage of excellent
quality distance vision under a variety of lighting conditions. Since these
lenses have a fixed focal point which is generally set for distance vision,
reading glasses are typically required for good near vision. For patients
willing to use reading glasses for near tasks, these IOLs are an excellent
choice. These lenses have been used for decades with an excellent safety
record. Recent refinements in the optical quality of these lenses have allowed
an even higher quality of vision than previously achievable.
