In an independently conducted study, acry s of Restor IOL as it is technically known or restor patients were tested to see how easily they could read paragraphs of decreasing font size, and their results were compared to patients with other IOLs. While only 1 of 13 patients with other IOLs could read small type (such as the newspaper), 4 of 5 acry sof restor patients were still able to read small type quickly and easily. Not only this but there is another hidden advantage of the restor over the other IOLS. It provides better vision for various lighting situations.

The restor delivers quality vision for various lighting situations. In brightly lit conditions, the restor implant sends light waves simultaneously to both near and distant focal points, while, in dimly lit conditions, the surrounding refractive area sends greater energy to distance vision. These could be described as a few advantages that restor has over other similar IOLs.
