A review of recent comparisons of the Alcon ReSTOR +3 and the AMO Tecnis® Multifocal Advanced Technology IOLs provided by respected cataract surgeon, Dr. William Trattler.
The NuLens® is made of a flexible silicon gel that uses the eye’s own muscles to push against the lens. This pushes the gel through an opening within the lens.
Brief summary of newer advanced intraocular lens implants that can possibly restore and maintain clear vision even without glasses and with little risk of developing complications.
I had a patient who really wanted a ReSTOR +3 multifocal IOL but had a dense posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC). Now, a mild PSC is not usually a problem. In his case, however, the cataract had formed a fibrous plaque on the surface of the posterior capsule.
Imagine you have a plastic trash bag (the cheap thin ones from a discount store, not the Heavy Duty Hefty bag) – this is going to be our imaginary capsular bag. In the eye this bag is only a few millionths of a meter thick. Now fill it up with oatmeal – this is our model cataract. Now, in order to remove the cataract we are going to use an instrument that both pours fluid into the bag and vacuums the oatmeal out of the bag.
