FDA investigating Multifocal IOLs

[Lerbea]

Does anyone know at what point the FDA will begin investigating the Multifocal IOLs ( Restor in particular)? There are 758 adverse reactions on the website the last time I looked.

Thank you for the information

I doubt that the FDA does a formal investigation of multifocal IOLs   The ReStor has given good results in many many people especially for near and reading.

The ReZoom IOL should be avoided in my opinion.

THE FDA did require that warnings about night driving be added to the informed consent on multifocal IOLs.

Hope this will get you to the correct data base. Yah I know what you mean when they say it's you.  My "Doctor" laughed at me and told me I saw as good as he did. The next time I went I had a witness with me.

I would only recommend an opinion from a teaching hospital or one of the 10 top clinics in the US.  Everyone is only concentrated on a bill of goods they are sold as $$.

I don't have the ghosting in my newest lens Aspheric AMo. but it has healing to do to completely clear up.

Hello,
How are your lenses doing? Can you please include the link to the FDA. I would like to read it. Also to send it to my doctor who tells me "its only me--everyone else is thrilled!" My Resor lens is not terrible, not great. Currently waiting for 2nd opinion (4th) who is more expert than my current doc. I am 7 weeks out from surgery in one eye. Thanks, Aleif
