I do not know of a surgeon that would want a reZoom IOL in their eye. I wouldn't touch one even if they paid me. use the search feature and read all about the many problems.

Get a second opinion quickly.

Don't say you weren't warned about this problem prone IOL.

There are many problems with ReZoom, including halos, starbursts, ghosting, inability to see in some lighting situations, and poor near/intermediate vision.  Many people with ReZoom are unable to drive at night.  Few (perhaps no) cataract surgeons would want this lens implanted in their own eyes--and these doctors are in a position to really know how this lens performs.  There are many posts here from unhappy ReZoom recipients.

If your goal is to minimize your dependence on glasses after surgery, I'd recommended aspheric monofocal IOLs set for "blended vision."  You'd probably need only need glasses for very small print, and there is no extra out-of-pocket fee.  You can get more information about this type of lens by watching the patient information video at www tecnisiol com (dots in address omitted to evade censor.)

Don't know what the going cost for Rezoom is, but I wouldn't have one if they paid me. Do a search here on Rezoom...
