Restore Multifocal Lense - New Hope for Cataract Surgery Patients
Has your vision lost the luster it once had or have you been diagnosed with a cataract? Are you having difficulty in seeing near? If you are over 45 years of age, there may be new hope.
Dr. Khanna, medical director of the Khanna Institute of LASIK and Refractive Surgery (has offices in Westlake Village, Santa Monica and Valencia), is now offering a new treatment modality, the ReSTOR lens that relies on advanced multi-focal technology that allows patients to see both near and far objects without glasses. In a clinical study, 80 percent of patients receiving the ReSTOR lens reported that they no longer wore glasses for any activities at all. Khanna has found that combining these new lenses with a small incision procedure (there is no need for stitches) may provide reduced healing time and thereby significantly reduce any discomfort.
If you suspect the development of cataracts and would like more information on the lens replacement procedure or the multi-focal lens,
call (805) 230-2126 or visit www.khannainstitute.com. According to Khanna's office, most health insurance policies cover part of the cost of the procedure.

I’ve had both lens Restored followed by I-Lasik.
The day after my first implant I was so not a happy camper. My brain could not make sense of what it was seeing. Online, you read about these miracle results so that is what you expect. I totally expected to get off the table and be able to see like I did as a small child. I went to the dr. for my next day follow up and announced, ” I can’t see S***.”
Well, you must realize that your eye is being traumatized with all that poking around and it needs a few days to heal. It was a couple of weeks before I felt like I was sure I had done the right thing. After the second eye was done, I felt even better about it. Since then I’ve had the I Lasik procedure to correct the astigmatism. The only residual problems are the halos I see with bright lights, but I’ve had those for years and these are no worse. The Lasik did help some. Now, instead of seeing a lot of concentric circles of light, I see what resembles the webs of orb weaving spiders.
I was not a candidate for Lasik before the implants because my lens were warped. I noticed my vision was getting worse and was thrilled to learn I had baby cataracts so I could have the implants. Its been six months since I began the process and I say, ” Go for it.”
I noticed that some type fonts that have a lot of serfis make the print look like it is underlined, however, this is beginning to diminish. So if your immediate results are not all flowers and butterflies, do not despair. It gets better but the hype is a bit overdone. My personal test was this. When I look up into a tall tree, can I see each individual leaf? Yes, I can.
The close up reading has taken a while to relearn. At first when I opened the phone book, all I saw was print on the page and I found it slow to focus on reading the print. Just stare at it, and it will come. Over time, the process will speed up.
The fun part is chiding yourself when you prepare to leave the house for work and catch yourself looking for your old glasses.
