Q: Will I still need to wear glasses if my surgeon recommends ReZoom™ Multifocal lens?
A: The results will vary depending upon your vision, lifestyle and the anatomy of your eyes. Most people find that they need glasses to read small type or drive at night. Most people, however, can go to the store or conduct many of their day’s activities without depending on glasses. In the cases studied, 92% of those who received the technology in ReZoom™ Multifocal lenses “never” or only “occasionally” needed to wear glasses.
Q: How is ReZoom™ different from traditional single-vision intraocular lenses?
A: ReZoom™ is a multifocal intraocular lens. Unlike traditional singlevision lens implants, ReZoom™ provides quality vision both at a distance and up close. Traditional single-vision lenses usually provide good vision only at a distance with limited ability to see objects that are near without glasses.
Q: How long after surgery until I see my best?
A: Like most procedures, this depends upon the overall health of your eye. For most people, vision is noticeably better immediately and continues to improve during the first few weeks after the procedure.
Q: Does the ReZoom™ Multifocal lens require an adjustment period?
A: Yes. For most people there is a period of weeks when your brain is learning to “see” up close and at a distance with the new lens. This adjustment period is usually complete within 6 to 12 weeks. Also, like all multifocal lenses, some people report halos or glare around lights. Again, for most people this diminishes over time. For some, it becomes less troublesome but never completely goes away. Most people report that the ability to see near and far outweighs any visual side-effects associated with the lens.
Q: Are there any risks of having the ReZoom™ Multifocal lens procedure?A: Yes. With any surgical procedure there are risks. See complications on Cataract page of this website
