What is a cataract?The eye, like a camera, has a lens to focus sharp images. Vision is good when the lens is clear, and light focuses clearly on the retina which is located in the back of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy and discolored, it is then diagnosed as a cataract. A cataract is not a growth or a film that covers the eye, nor will it grow back after being surgically removed.
No stitch-no patch
Multifocal intraocular lensIntraocular lens (IOL): An artificial lens that is implanted in the eye to replace the eye's clouded crystalline lens during cataract surgery.

The most common cause of cataracts is the aging process. Other causes
of cataracts can be injury or inflammation of the eye. Most cataracts
become more clouded over time. Still, others can develop rapidly over a
few months.
Fortunately, surgery can help correct the poor vision that is
associated with a cataract. Over 98% of patients vision will improve
after surgery. Cataract surgery is an elective procedure. You should
consider cataract surgery when the blurred vision interferes with your
lifestyle.
Complications can arise in 2% of patients, they include a retinal
detachment, trauma to the cornea, lens malfunction or infection.
The
AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is a unique technological innovation that can
provide you with quality vision throughout the entire visual
spectrum – near through distance – with increased independence from
reading glasses or bifocals
ReZoom™
intraocular lens is a second-generation refractive multifocal IOL
that provides hyperopic cataract patients with greater independence
from glasses than monofocal IOLs. The ReZoom™ proprietary multifocal
design provides a range of vision that monfocals cannot match.
