"I can now see up close!"
The Restor Multifocal Implant
Thursday, May 7, 2009
LASIK has been available in the US for 13 years! Chances are that you know someone who has had LASIK to correct their distance vision. LASIK is still a great option for vision correction for some people. However for years I have heard people say, "I can see fine at a distance but I have to wear those darn reading glasses to see up close. What do you have that will fix that?" For years we did not have an answer for those patients. Well those days are over! Today we have the Clear Lens Extraction with a multifocal implant to make that near vision obtainable. The multifocal implant has been available for surgeons to use on cataract patients for over 10 years. However in the past couple of years the implants have improved and are now offered as a "Refractive" procedure to help patients live glasses free! The Clear Lens Extraction (CLE) is basically a premature cataract surgery on a patient that does not have a cataract. During the procedure Dr. Temas removes the eye's natural lens and replaces it with an artificial multifocal lens (ReStor) that has multiple focus points built in. The surgery is fast usually lasting less than 7 minutes, and painless to the patient. Our patients can leave the surgical center, go have lunch and no one would be able to tell that person even had an eye surgery done! So if you are ready to see up close, at a distance, and everything in between with glasses, then the multifocal implant could be for you! This procedure is not for every patient as there could be some conditions that would not allow you to be a candidate. However at Temas Eye Center we offer a free Refractive Screening to determine your candidacy. Call today for your free Refractive Screening.
If you have a cataract currently you could also be a candidate for this implant, call Temas Eye Center today to schedule your appointment.
Recently Kimberly Van Scoy of WXII News 12 sat down with two patients that had the multifocal implants, if you would like to see their story click on the link below.
