ReZoom Lens

[hmh]

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

[Eagle eyes]

The great thing about ReZoom is that is truly is the only lens that givesyou the FULL range of vision. Excellent distance vision, good intermediate vision (unlike the ReSTOR), and adequate and "comfortable" near vision. ReSTOR patients complain that the near vision is great, but "too close", "too close for comfort".

I disagree with hud. ReSTOR has higher chance for needing glasses for distance. Plus ReSTOR patients complain that after a few months after surgery, their distance vision is like looking through "vaseline" or  "wax paper". ReZoom gives outstanding distance vision, intermediate, and adequate near visoin for most tasks. If you need really close near vision, you can have the surgeon set the 2nd lens for a little minus to give your closer near vision. Better to have 2 ReZoom than 2 ReSTOR.

I'm 63 and have been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. I recently had a complete evaluation at the Jacksonville Eye Center and the surgeon has recommended ReZoom IOLs for both eyes over the Crystalens and ReStor at a cost of 2,700 each. Another highly recommended surgeon in JAX is recommending the ReStor at 2,800 and does not offer the ReZoom as an option. An evaluation has not been done yet with this surgeon. Would like some feedback on ReZoom vs Restor from all with any suggestions or those with recent implants.

Low myopes are people who are just a little bit nearsighted. High myopes are so nearsighted that when they take off their glasses they can hardly see the alarm clock.

what did the last part of your post mean?  what are low myopes such as the minus 1?

I look forward to the comments from hmh and the doc. Having no astigmatism is a big plus in your case and with the ReZoom being a foldable small incision implant you should remain that way. The other thing that I have been told is that high myopes such as yourself, do well. Hyperopes the same. It is the low myopes such as the minus 1 and two that are hard to please, no matter what try to do.
