AcrySof ReSTOR IOL The FDA-approved AcrySof ReSTOR is a breakthrough in intraocular lens technology for most people with cataracts, with or without Presbyopia, that may restore the eyesight of youth. The apodized diffractive optic design gives it the ability to focus light correctly on the retina for images at various distances without mechanical movement of the lens. More on AcrySof ReSTOR IOL
Crystalens Crystalens has the unique ability to focus on objects at varying distances using the eye's natural muscle. This means the crystalens can provide sharper vision, without corrective lenses, throughout a full range of vision from near to far and everything in between. More on Crystalens
Verisyse The Verisyse Phakic Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant is recommended for patients who do not qualify for LASIK due to severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, or cases where the cornea is too thin for LASIK. More on Verisyse
Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) The ViewPoint CK system provides a quick, safe, minimally invasive option for eye correction using radio frequency energy instead of a surgical cutting instrument to correct the patient with farsightedness.

Pupil is what appears as a small black dot in the center of the iris and changes its diameter in response to ambient lighting.

Radial Keratotomy is a surgical procedure designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) by flattening the cornea and is commonly referred to as RK.

Refraction is a test to determine the best eye glasses or contact lenses to correct a refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) OR the bending of light by the use of a lens or other material.

: LASIK is the acronym for laser assisted in situ keratomileusis which refers to creating a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome and using a laser to reshape the underlying cornea.

Lens is a part of the eye that provides some focusing power. The lens is able to change shape allowing the eye to focus at different distances.

Microkeratome is a surgical device that is affixed to the eye by use of a vacuum ring. When secured, a very sharp blade shaves a small amount of the cornea at a predetermined depth.
