ReZoom Lens

[hmh]

Has anyone had any experience, positive or negative with ReZoom lens?

slotman-It depends on whether or not he hit his target refraction. If he ended up a little plus, than you are right, Based on that information, if he does the second eye and shoots for a little minus based on the information off the first eye, then you are going to be happy. 8 weeks can also be early for some patients to adapt and he could be right as near can take a little longer to come in. Do you need the second eye done as well? If near does not come in, then have a Restor in the second eye for near. Eye surgery today is so fast and painless that many tend to forget they had major surgery on an organ and it takes time to heal from corneal to retinal swelling etc. Once things settle down than things tend to get better. I would also ask about astigmatism as that can be a cause of poor near vision. Ask some more questions and give it some more time. Also, when you have the second eye donw, things can come together for you. Give us some more information.

Found this forum while searching for ReZoom lens info. I had a ReZoom lens installed 8 weeks ago and am sorry I spent the $2500 over and aove what Medicare will cover for the standerd lens surgery. My DR. insisted ReZoom would be the altimate way to go since I wanted up-close vision without magnifiers. Not so as of today. I still need my glasses for up-clse work. He says one morning I will wake up and VOILA. I say he's full of ****...Comments

If your Mom's dr recommended ReZoom then he is planning to do cataract surgery most likely in conjunction with glaucoma surgery. You are right though, if she has no motivation to be out of glasses, then a standard IOL should be fine. If she drives at night, you might consider Tecnis. It is a standard IOL that does not cost her anymore out of pocket but increases her contrast for nighttime driving.

I have read must of the postings and I am a bit confused. I have cataracts in my right eye and I am researching which type of lens to go with. I have read about the Restor and ReZoom, but I haven't seen any comments on the Crystalens. From what I have read so far I am leaning towards the ReZoom lens, but would like a little more information on the Crystalens before I make this major decision.

Thanks in advance.

Eagle Eyes.  Thanks for your input, but, my Mom does not have Cateracts.  She is 75 years old.  Does not have a problem wearing glasses.  Tell me again why she should spend $3,000 for IOL implants.  And will it HELP in controlling her glaucoma (the real issue here).

As long as your Mom has glaucoma that can be controlled and she is motivated to be less dependent on glasses she should be good candidate for ReZoom.
