2005 has ushered in a new era in the area of cataract surgery, as the FDA has approved the Alcon ReSTOR lens implant. Whereas before, cataract surgery often offered the capability to see far away without glasses, but not up close, the ReSTOR corrects both near and distance vision, so most patients don't wear any glasses at all. We will discuss the ReSTOR in detail a bit later, but 1st, lets take a closer look at cataract surgery and the role of lens implants in general.
