The ReZoom Multifocal Lens is a clear, acrylic foldable lens implant. The new technology of the multifocal lens is designed to provide an improvement in the full range of your vision, whether far away, close up, or somewhere in the middle. Your eye’s natural lens deteriorates as you age. The result is often cataracts or presbyopia (blurry close vision). ReZoom is FDA-approved to treat both conditions.
Dr. Carter’s goal is to help you see better anywhere and at anytime, in all lighting conditions. If you have good eye health but are dependent on reading glasses or bifocals, you could be a candidate for ReZoom. You don’t need to be a candidate for cataract surgery to qualify for the ReZoom lens.
The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Before surgery, Dr. Carter will treat your eye with anesthetic to avoid any eye discomfort. A tiny incision is made in your eye, allowing him to use a small ultrasound probe to break up the cloudy or faulty lens. Gentle suction easily removes the pieces and the ReZoom lens is then inserted and set into its position.
Following the surgery, you will rest in Dr. Carter’s office for a short time before going home. Prescription eye drops will be necessary to prevent infection and help you heal. You may also need to use a protective shield to keep you from rubbing your eye(s) in your sleep. Everyone heals differently, but most patients see well enough to return to normal activities within a day of the procedure.
Dr. Carter can help you decide how to proceed with your cataract concerns and he will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact eye surgeon Dr. Carter in Dallas, Texas to arrange your free consultation.
