The FDA-approved ReZoom™ IOL is a breakthrough in multifocal intraocular lens technology for most people with cataracts, with or without presbyopia, which may restore more youthful vision. Unlike traditional single-vision lens implants, the ReZoom™ lens provides quality vision both at a distance and up-close. Traditional single-vision (monofocal) lenses usually provide good vision only at a distance with limited ability to see objects that are near without glasses. The ReZoom™ lens is implanted in the eye as a lens replacement at the time of cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange.
During the ReZoom™ IOL procedure, the eye's natural lens is gently removed through a tiny incision made in the side of the cornea. Then, the ReZoom™ IOL is placed behind the eye's iris where the natural lens used to be.
After the lens has been implanted, patients usually report that their vision is better just hours after the procedure. There is usually an adjustment period while your brain learns to focus on different objects with the ReZoom™ IOL.

The ReZoom™ Multifocal Lens Technology
The way ReZoom™ IOLs produce such great vision results is through the use of Balanced View Optics Technology. Unlike other multifocal IOLs, ReZoom™ IOLs have five different, specially proportioned zones that focus different amounts of light to allow you to see object at almost any distance clearly.
ReZoom™ Candidates
If you are diagnosed with cataracts and are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, you may be a candidate for the ReZoom™ Multifocal Lens:
• Difficulty reading
• Difficulty seeing close objects
• Difficulty seeing to drive, especially at night
• Changing glasses prescriptions
• Needing bifocals
Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for the ReZoom™ Multifocal IOL, you will be given additional information about the possible risks, complications, and costs involved with the procedure. Be sure to have all of your questions answered before giving your consent to have surgery.
There are no known contraindications. However, based on the FDA clinical trials, Advanced Medical Optics, the lens manufacturer, has indicated the following types of patients possibly should not have the ReZoom™ IOL:
• Individuals that are hypercritical with unrealistic expectations
• Individuals with excessive complaints about their prescription
• Individuals who drive at night for a living or whose occupation or
hobbies depend on good night vision
• Individuals who are amateur or commercial airline pilots
• Individuals who have life-long complaints about glare
• Individuals who are happy wearing glasses
• Individuals who want guarantees on surgical outcomes
• Individuals who have had previous Radial Keratotomy (RK) surgery
Clinical Results
Results from a controlled clinical study of the ReZoom™ IOL revealed that maximum visual performance is achieved when the ReZoom™ lens is implanted in both eyes. Benefits are apparent with individuals in whom the lens is used in only one eye as well.
Clinical data demonstrates that 92% of those who received the ReZoom™ multifocal lens in both eyes reported wearing glasses "never" or "occasionally." We have also used the ReZoom™ lens in combination with the ReSTOR® lens with excellent success.
Everyone's focusing ability is different. Most people will be able to see clearly in the distance, have very good intermediate vision and functional reading vision without glasses, but some people may be more comfortable with additional correction, particularly at night or in dim light or for long periods of reading work.
After surgery with the ReZoom™ lens, it may be necessary for some people to wear glasses for distance, intermediate and/or near vision to obtain optimal visual acuity. The difference from standard lenses is that most people will not be as dependent on these supplemental vision aids to function normally.
