 Cataracts
are a result of the natural lens inside the eye
becoming cloudy or brown. As a result, light inside the
eye is scattered before it can focus on the retina, and
vision becomes blurry or dark. The only way to correct
vision loss from cataracts is to have the
cataract removed and replaced with an intraocular
lens (IOL) implant, like the ReZoom™ Multifocal
Lens. Lens implants have been used successfully
for over half a century. The ReZoom™ Multifocal
Lens represents a major advancement in safety,
vision and lifestyle over earlier generations.

| The lens implant procedure |
|
| The procedure to remove cataracts and replace the natural
lens of the eye is one of the most commonly performed
procedures. Each year, over 14 million cataract
and lens implant procedures are performed worldwide.2 This
proven procedure allows the ReZoom™ Multifocal
Lens to be implanted in a brief (about 15 to 45
minutes) outpatient procedure. |
|
| Cataract and lens implant surgery today is highly
successful and very precise. There are different types of
specialty lens implant technologies to meet individual
eye health and lifestyle needs. While most people
are candidates for an advanced lens like the ReZoom™ Multifocal
Lens, your doctor may recommend another type of
lens implant based upon your eye health or lifestyle. |

| The right lens for your lifestyle |
|
- ReZoom™ 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™ 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.

hole.”
