RE ZOOM™ : THE LATEST ENTRY
INTO THE INTRAOCULAR LENS MARKET
TO CORRECT PRESBYOPIA
First, Crystalens gained FDA approval for its floating lens. Then, Alcon’s ReSTOR did likewise with its fixed position multi-focal lens. Now, the ReZoom Multifocal Lens produced by Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) is the third (and most recent) alternative to help correct the need for reading glasses (and contacts).
This latest lens benefits those diagnosed with cataracts or who experience one or more of these symptoms: difficulty reading; difficulty seeing close objects; difficulty seeing to drive (especially at night); changing glasses prescriptions, and needing bifocals.
The ReZoom is uniquely designed with advanced optical zones that provide good vision across a range of distances and light conditions. This optical system, called Balanced View Optics tm technology, allows one to see near, far and in between in BOTH bright light and low light conditions.
ReZoom helps facilitate five focusing zones for a full range of vision (listed in order from outer to the innermost ring of the lens):
This is a surgical procedure, and as such risks and potential side effects may occur (although operating time is typically between 15 and 45 minutes an eye, done on separate days). However, the lens removal and lens implant technique is performed over 14 million times per year worldwide (in cataract surgery).
Everyone heals at different rates, but in most cases, you should notice improved vision almost immediately after your procedure. You may experience an adjustment period in which you see some glare or halos around bright lights. But in most case, this goes away during the coming weeks or months.
Based on results from an AMO study, 92 percent who have benefited from the technology used in ReZoom Multifocal Lenses report wearing glasses never or occasionally.
