Restor Lens

[paul164]

I am 44 and had a cataract lens replaced with a restor lens on 6/30/10 in my right eye. Since I stopped using the drops after surgery my vision has only gotten worse. My distant vision is about 20/50 and close vision is not good. Can this be corrected? How long should I wait before I can tell my doctor this is not working

Dear paul164.

I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD immediately.

You should see your eye doctor.  Do not have a yag or any other kind of tweek done in case the Restor has to be explanted.  Use the search feature to find information regarding the Restor lens.  There are many factors that have to be considered regarding each individual's eyes,  I had the Restor  put in my left eye and the results were not good.   I had  it explanted and exchanged with a monofocal lens. I now have excellent vision in both eyes with monofocal lenses.  Many people have had bad results with the Restor lens. If you decide to have it explanted, the sooner it is done the better. Let you eye Md  know what is going on.  Good luck
