The ReSTOR lens is an artificial lens implant designed to replace a damaged or faulty natural lens. It is made from a flexible plastic material that allows it to focus light on the retina. This allows for clear vision at near, far, and in-between distances. Dr. Carter can insert a ReSTOR lens in a short office visit. The result is significant improvement in both the quality and range of vision.
The ReSTOR lens is FDA-approved for the treatment of cataracts and can also be used to treat presbyopia (“middle-aged” vision). If you are in your 40s and have trouble with close-up vision, you may be experiencing the first effects of presbyopia, a problem with the eye’s lens. As we age, the lens becomes less able to focus on nearby objects for reading and other activities. Dr. Carter can replace it with a flexible lens like ReSTOR and help repair vision reduced by presbyopia.
In a recent study, approximately 80 percent of patients who received the ReSTOR lens reported that they no longer needed their glasses. It became easier to read, drive or play sports without any kind of external corrective lens.
Let Dr. Carter help you decide how to proceed with your cataract or presbyopia concerns and answer any questions you may have. Please call or email our vision correction office in Dallas, Texas to schedule a free consultation.
