Beside a monofocal lens, an option for an IOL is a new class of IOLs that correct for multiple fields of vision. One brand is the Alcon ReSTOR; another is a lens called Crystalens. They are two different technologies with different emphasis: ReSTOR has two fields, distance and reading, but no intermediate, and has some issues with glare during night time driving. The Crystalens is newer, and "adjusts" over a period of time for good intermediate and poorer near. Of course, a proven monofocal lens is an option with glasses for intermediate and near vision.
Do any of you have experience with these products, either personal or with a patient?
Thanks
