What is your point Hud??? Yes, we all know that Restor is the one and only lens for you. But others are trying to decide what is best for them. And your constant posts that seem to make all other lenses inferior to Restor is just inappropriate for this board, in my opinion. And who cares how much the doctor is paid to consult. He believes in his lenses and should be paid as an consultant.( expert to consult.) What are you trying to imply? I hear so many posters going through such anxiety trying to decide what lens to choose and then you always seem to post something to make them unsure about their decision, unless of course they choose Restor, which may be an excellent choice for them too.
And comparing what car Tiger Woods really drives, to what lens an eye surgeon is going to put into his own eyes, just to make a buck, is just plain recidulous! Sight is way too precious. And opthamologists are way too intelligent for contemplating something that dumb. Get real.
K-D. you are right on the money. You always have to read between the lines.
give me a break. Paid consultants are paid consultants. Kathy Lee Gifford really loves those cruise ships? Michael Jordan wears nothing but Hanes? Obviously, all the lens work to some extent or they would not pass the FDA. But your assumption that they are equal in potential is just naive. And your Pollyanna view of doctors is embarrassing. Most are good-hearted and do what is in the best interest of their patients, as far as their ability allows. However, money corrupts some. The most vocal are the ego maniacs of the Jimmy Swaggart ilk.
There is always a head of class of products. There is always a bottom-dweller. In Presbyopia correcting IOL's the overwhelming majority of ophthalmologists in the world consider ReSTOR the head of the class for 90% of patients as it offers the highest level of spectacle freedom at all ranges. Period. Rezoom is a good second choice for the rest. crystalens needs work.
With each eye comes the variations of cylinder, coma, sphere, axial length, kerometry, pachymetry, tear film, neural capability, etc. For a patient to choose a body part based on a faceless internet opinion is reckless. GO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR EYES AND THEIR RESULTS, AND THEN TALK TO 2 MORE MDs.
Well you are the one that said the doctor had the same lenses in his eyes that he consults about. Hardly, a promoting chruise ship senerio!!!!!!
And quite frankly, since you brought up whom to speak with, I put a lot of weight in hearing from patients that have the lenses. And from that stand point of view, if you read this board, your one and only lens sure seems to want to be removed a lot. And you are a faceless stranger too! And your posts seem to me, to have a motive other than patient information. It really makes a person wonder if you are not getting paid for your constant promotion of one lens and manufacturer, which as I have said, may be a wonderful lens for some. But not all. And it does not help for you to keep cramming one lens or manufacturer down the throats of everyone on this board. I remember one man that was so upset the day of his surgery because he read a post you had written about the lens he was to have implanted that day. Personally, that would have made me feel horrible. And happily, his loves his lenses!
I have a restor and rezoom lens I have excellant intermediate distance with both. I also have darn good ditance and I can read the ingrediants on the back of an eye drop bottle thanks to my restor. No halos slight glare from headlights but minimal.Iam wondering if some of the aberrations that other people are expriencing are from astigmatism. I had a small amount preop. It doesn't bother my restor eye but my rezoom eye has trouble distinquishing between a 6 and 8 sometimes
