Correcting Cataracts
and Astigmatism in One Procedure
The AcrySof® IQ Toric
IOL is an ideal solution for patients with both cataracts and
astigmatism. Astigmatism is a common condition that can result in
the blurring of your vision, whether looking near or far, while
cataracts develop as you age and cloud your vision.
This can affect
everyday activities such as writing, using
a smartphone or driving. Astigmatism usually occurs when the cornea or
lens is misshapen and, if you have astigmatism, chances are you
already wear glasses or contact lenses to correct the problem.
The AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL is designed to replace your clouded lens
while also correcting your astigmatism in one step. This can
significantly improve your functional vision for activities such as
night driving. 1The AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL can greatly reduce, or
even eliminate, your need to wear glasses for sharp distance vision,
though you will likely still need glasses for reading. |

Quality of
Life: A Smart Investment
Because traditional
IOLs that are not astigmatism correcting are generally covered
by private health insurance or Medicare, many patients believe
that choosing a basic IOL will save them money.
If you
have astigmatism, you may experience blurred and distorted
vision because a traditional IOL cannot correct pre-existing
astigmatism.
In clinical trials, the majority of patients with preoperative astigmatism achieved freedom from glasses for
distance vision when the AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL was implanted in
both eyes. |
 |
|
| |
The AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL can also often be a better
bargain. The cost of astigmatism-correcting glasses or contact
lenses, disinfectant or cleaning materials and eye doctor appointments
adds up over the years and can eventually outweigh the cost of toric
IOLs.
If your surgeon has determined that you have cataracts,
ask if you are a candidate for AcrySof® IQ Toric IOLs and be sure to
weigh your options and consider the long-term benefits. |

Experience the
Freedom of Vision at All Distances
Imagine driving with
more confidence. Or golfing without losing sight of the ball. From
reading to playing tennis to playing bridge, you can experience clear
vision at near, intermediate and far distances with the help of
multifocal lenses.
When you opt for cataract surgery with
multifocal lenses, such as the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® family of
lenses, you're opting for the opportunity for freedom from both
cataracts and presbyopia, a condition that makes it difficult to focus
on objects that are close to you as the lenses in your eyes lose
flexibility with age.
Multifocal lenses can even help you reduce
your dependency on glasses. In fact, four out of five AcrySof® IQ
ReSTOR® IOL recipients reported never wearing glasses after having
the lens implanted in both eyes.1
It's important to note that
while Medicare or private health insurance covers a portion of the costs
of surgery and lenses for qualifying patients, some out-of-pocket
expenses are associated with multifocal IOLs. But even so, more than 93
percent of patients who received AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOLs said
they'd choose the same lens again2. It can also be helpful to ask if
your surgeon offers payment plans.

Enhancing
Vision Through Aspheric Design
The AcrySof®
IQ ReSTOR® family of IOLs also reduces spherical aberration,
enhancing clarity and image quality for recipients.
Spherical aberration with a spherical IOL
Positive spherical aberration occurs when light rays are
over-refracted at the periphery of an optical structure, like a
spherical IOL, resulting in a region of defocused light and
decreased image quality.
Aspheric correction with
AcrySof® IQ IOLs
The aspheric optic of AcrySof®
IQ ReSTOR® Multifocal IOLs correctly aligns light rays to
compensate for positive corneal spherical aberration, providing
improved vision quality.
Patented Apodization
Technology
AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR®
Multifocal IOL's are an innovative cataract treatment because of
a patented optical technology called apodization.
AcrySof®
IQ ReSTOR® Multifocal IOLs' apodized diffractive is designed
to improve image quality and reduce visual disturbances by
optimally distributing light to near and distance focal points,
based on ambient lighting.
• In brightly lit
conditions, light waves are sent simultaneously to near, distant
and intermediate focal points, providing a full range of quality
vision.
• In low-light conditions, light is gradually
distributed to distant focal points as the pupil enlarges,
achieving improved distance vision and reduced visual
disturbances. That means, for example, improved vision of the
road during nighttime drives. |

Crystalens is:
The first and only FDA-approved accommodating intraocular lens.
The only FDA approved intraocular lens that uses natural focusing
ability.
The only FDA approved presbyopia correcting IOL for cataract
patients
that provides
a single focal point throughout a continuous
range of vision
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
Crystalens was the first presbyopia
correcting IOL introduced into the United States market. Crystalens addresses the
limitations of standard monofocal IOLs and multifocal IOLs by providing
the following advantages to patients: |
|
   |
Provides a Broad Range of Vision: Crystalens moves and
changes shape using the eye's natural focusing mechanism,
instead of remaining fixed and stationary within the eye.
This movement, or accommodation, allows the eye to focus on
objects across a broad range of distances to reduce or
eliminate dependence on glasses. In particular, this
accommodation provides significant advantages in addressing
intermediate vision. |
|
|
Maintains Clarity of Vision: Unlike multifocal lenses,
Crystalens directs all available light received by the eye
to a single focal point, comparable to that of a healthy
natural lens. |
|
|
Patient Adjustment Not Required:
Crystalens produces a
single image consistent with normal vision, meaning patients
do not need to neuroadapt to viewing multiple images.
Patients also do not need to tolerate or adjust to high
levels of halos and glare often associated with multifocal
IOLs. |
|
|
|
Crystalens
is an accommodating intraocular lens that, unlike a standard IOL, can treat both a person's cataracts and presbyopia-loss of near and intermediate vision. |
 |
|
You probably noticed in your
forties that you started to lose some of your up-close
vision and had to start wearing reading glasses. talens
not only treats your cataracts (a clouding or hardening of
your lens), but can also reduce or eliminate your dependence
on glasses. It does so by recreating accommodation similar
to your eye s natural lens. The unique crystalens can reduce
or eliminate glasses for most activities including: reading
a book, working on the computer, and driving a car.
|
|
Crystalens was modeled after the
human eye.
Like the natural lens, it uses the eye muscle to
flex and accommodate in order to focus on objects in the
environment at all distances. crystalens dynamically adjusts
to your visual needs.
Crystalens is designed to allow the optic, or the
central circular part of the lens that you see
through, to move back and forth as you constantly
change focus on images around you. crystalens flexes
as you focus your vision. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Few patients with crystalens have experienced problems with glare,
halos and night vision. crystalens focuses only one image to the
back of the eye, unlike a multifocal lens that projects multiple
images, requiring your brain to adjust to the differences.
The effectiveness of Crystalens was proven in clinical trials:
• Patients implanted with a Crystalens (88.4%)
could see better at all distances then patients with a
standard IOL (35.9%).
•
Most patients have continued to report excellent vision 7 years
after implantation with Crystalens.
• More than 100,000 crystalens
implants have been implanted worldwide, and that number is growing
daily.
• Crystalens accommodates like the natural lens. After implantation of
Crystalens, most patients will see brighter and clearer from
distance, intermediate to near like they did when they were younger. |

Today, for people who have
cataracts and presbyopia, there is a procedure to remove the clouded
natural lens of the eye and replace it with the advanced TECNIS®
Multifocal Lens. This unique implantable lens is proven to provide
excellent vision at all distances, under all lighting conditions - day
and night. Only the advanced TECNIS
Multifocal Lens enables you to see clearly at near, intermediate, and
far distances without glasses in all light conditions.

|
|
| In the first image, you
can see the hands and tablet close up, the beach chair and umbrella at
intermediate, as well as the beach and water in the distance - all
clearly with the TECNIS Multifocal Lens |
|
|
Now, compare the second
image. This image below demonstrates what you might see with a monofocal
lens. Although the intermediate and distance vision is clear, the the hands and tablet are now blurry. |
