“…Predictability with the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D is the same as with ReSTOR® +4.0 D for distance vision. Additionally, the intermediate vision is much better and the near vision is definitely farther out. I am confident that with this new lens, our premium lens patient base will grow even faster.”*

“After implanting more than 5,000 multifocal IOLs, I know what patients like and don't like about their multifocal vision. I've learned they want minimal night vision disturbance, equal vision between the eyes, and excellent near and intermediate vision. From my early experience, I think the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D provides this.”*

“There's an old saying that goes, ‘Price, quality or service. Pick any 2.' That's how it used to feel when I offered my patients multifocal IOLs. They could have distance, reading or intermediate vision. Pick any 2. With the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR IOL +3.0 D, patients can have accurate distance targeting, effortless reading performance and great intermediate vision. Pick all 3.”*

“The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D has changed the paradigm for me in refractive cataract surgery. There is no comparison with other presbyopia-correcting IOLs in terms of predictability of the postoperative refraction and the level of spectacle independence afforded by the IOL at all distances. In my practice, the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D is far and away the number-one-choice presbyopia-correcting IOL currently available.”*

“Our experience (and more importantly, the patients' experience) with the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D has been very favorable and impressive. Patients have much more visual range with better intermediate and more comfortable near vision, resulting in higher spectacle independence. Patients really like this lens and what it does for them.”*

“I have had much success with the original aspheric ReSTOR® IOL +4.0 D and have been pleasantly surprised by the improvements of the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D … I have greater confidence in the lens – as a result, my conversion rate has improved. The IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D has now become my 'go-to' lens.”*

“…There clearly was a need for an IOL with better intermediate vision, range of vision, and for some patients, not having to hold items so closely to read. The IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D appears to have met these criteria … Every patient has been well-pleased – uncorrected distance vision is excellent, near is more comfortable and intermediate vision has improved substantially at more normal working distances.”*

“The IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D is now my lens of choice for patients demanding sharp distance and near vision without the loss of intermediate vision. In my experience, I have had zero complaints concerning intermediate vision and no loss of near acuity compared to the ReSTOR® IOL +4.0 D.”*

“…All I can say is what my patients say: ‘This is the best I have seen in years.' We do over 50% of our cataract case loads with the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D – they give me the results I look for. The patients have great vision at all ranges … a lot of them are 20/20 J1 after their 1-week postop … I highly recommend IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D.”*

“My staff, my patients and I have had a very positive, overwhelming initial experience with the new IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D … The ability of the +3.0 D lens to obtain good near, intermediate and distance vision consistently will certainly enhance the surgeon's confidence to offer their patients a high-quality presbyopic IOL…”*

“It's a brand new day in my busy Arizona practice. The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D has made it fun again to see our postoperative premium IOL patients! My cataract patients are ecstatic right out of the chute, and our postoperative visits are smiles, smiles, smiles. Needless to say, even my staff thinks this lens is a winner.

“I've now implanted six IQ ReSTOR® +3.0 D lenses (including my mother-in-law). Predictability seems to be the same as with the ReSTOR® +4.0 D lens for distance. My observation is that the working distance for near is definitely farther out, and intermediate is better … For +4.0 D patients who are unhappy with their near working distance vision, I plan to give them an IQ ReSTOR® +3.0 D for the fellow eye.”*

“The range of vision my cataract patients get with the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D is amazing. Presbyopia is not just the loss of reading vision; rather, it is the gradual loss of the range of vision. With the IQ ReSTOR® IOL +3.0 D, we are conquering cataracts associated with presbyopia; finally, we can restore what time takes away.”*
