ReSTOR Intraocular Lens Implant

Apodized diffractive optics for a full range of vision

In the healthy eye, the lens flexes to focus on objects at varying distances. The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL was designed to provide a complete range of vision independent of the ciliary muscle body. To achieve this, the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL combines the functions of both apodized diffractive and refractive regions.

Apodized Diffractive

The apodized diffractive optics are found within the central 3.6 mm optic zone of the lens. This area comprises 12 concentric steps of gradually decreasing (1.3-0.2 microns) step heights that allocate energy based on lighting conditions and activity, creating a full range of quality vision – near to distant.

Refractive

The refractive region of the optic surrounds the apodized diffractive region. This area directs light to a distance focal point for larger pupil diameter, and is dedicated to distance vision.
