THE REZOOM LENS IS HERE!!!
SEE NEAR, FAR AND
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
How does age affect a person's vision?
Beginning around the age of 40, the natural lens inside the eye begins to
harden and loose its flexibility. As a result, the eye's ability to change
its focus from near to intermediate to distance and back again reduces. This
result is known as "loss of accommodation" or
"presbyopia". The earliest symptom of Presbyopia is difficulty
seeing things up close.
As the natural eye continues to deteriorate, it starts to become brown or
cloudy. As a result, a person's vision becomes blurry and colors lose their sharpness.
Frequently changing someone's glasses prescriptions can help, but left
untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness.
Am I a candidate for the ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens?
If you've been diagnosed with cataracts and are experiencing one or more
of the symptoms shown below, you may be candidate for the ReZoom TM
Multifocal Lens. Your doctor will make a recommendation following a complete
eye exam.
- Difficulty reading
- Difficulty seeing
close objects
- Difficulty seeing to
drive, especially at night
- Changing glasses
prescriptions
- Need bifocals
Is the ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens procedure safe?
Every surgical procedure has risks and potential side effects. Your doctor
will explain all of these in full detail. However, the lens removal and lens
implant technique used in the ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens procedure is
performed over 14 million times per year worldwide and is recognized for its
safety and predictability.
How long does the ReZoom Implant Procedure take and what occurs
during that time?
The ReZoom Implant Procedure normally takes about 15 to 45 minutes. This
procedure involves making a tiny incision on the edge of the cornea and
gently breaking up and removing the natural lens. After the natural lens is
removed, the ReZoom TM Multifocal IOL is folded and inserted through the
small incision. After the ReZoom lens takes place of the natural lens, the
incision is closed and remains sealed due to the outward pressure inside the
eye.
Does this lens affect how a person sees across a range of
distances and light conditions?
No. The ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens is designed with advanced optical zones.
The zones provide a good vision across a range of distances and light
conditions. This optical system is called Balanced View Optics. Balanced View
Optics TM technology allows a person to see near, far and in between in both
bright light and low light conditions.
How does the eye react to the treatment and how soon can I resume
my normal activities?
Most people can resume their normal activities the next day. Everyone
heals at a different rate, but in most cases, vision is improved within 24
hours. Vision improves as the eye heals and becomes used to using the
multifocal lens.
A visual side effect that a patient may experience is halos or a glare
around lights especially at night. For most people, this side effect is most
noticeable during the first few months and goes away over time. Although
these side effects are noticeable, they do not hurt your ability to function
visually at night.
Although you may prefer to use glasses for prolonged reading, to read
small type, or to drive at night, most people say that they can go through
the day without depending on glasses. The benefit of having the ReZoom TM
Multifocal IOL lens implant will be even more noticeable when both eyes have
been treated.
Is the ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens the only option when having a
cataract procedure?
No. There are different types of specialty lens implant technologies to
meet each patient's individual needs.
The right lens for your lifestyle.
- ReZoom TM Multifocal
Lens...
is designed for people with generally healthy eyes who want good vision
near, far and in between without depending on glasses in most
situations.
- TECNIS TM Monofocal
Lens...
is designed to provide safer, sharper vision than conventional lens
implants. It is a good option for people who want sharp distance and
night vision and don't mind depending on glasses for near vision.
- Conventional,
Single-Vision Lens... there are a range of proven, conventional,
single-vision lens implants that provide improved vision after cataract
surgery. Most people receiving a conventional lens implant require
glasses either for near vision, distance vision or both after surgery.

Q. How is your vision now with the ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens?
A. Now I can see clear as a bell. I can read without contacts, without
glasses, I can see far, near and in between. I can see the ball land on the
fairway and lying on the green. I can read stories to my 17 grandchildren and
do the things that are very important and dear to me that I was denied. It's
just changed my entire life.
Q. Can you describe your experience with the ReZoom TM Multifocal
Lens procedure?
A. When I had the operation, I was obviously a bit scared. And this is
where I can help people not to be scared. I didn't feel anything and it gave
me such joy.
Q. How soon did you play in a golf tournament after having your
ReZoom TM Multifocal Lens procedure?
A. I played in the Masters Tournament this year one week after my ReZoom
TM procedure in my left eye - one week! I was one of the only two players to
birdie the 1st hole. That was so encouraging to go into a major tournament
like the Masters just having had the operation. At age 70, I shot a 79 and
beat a lot of guys.
Q. Did you have any side effects?
A. After my ReZoom TM procedure the only side effect I had was oncoming
cars - there was a halo around their lights, or a streetlight - whatever
light that was there. And everyday that halo just diminished and got less and
less...It's only two months since I had my left eye done and it's just better
every single day. The brain makes the adjustment and every day I see better.
Q. What advice would you give to someone with cataracts?
A. Take it from me, there's almost no reason to let cataracts slow you
down or keep you from doing the things you love. If cataracts are affecting
your lifestyle, you owe it to yourself to ask your doctor if the ReZoom TM
Multifocal Lens might be right for you.
