MILAN — Alcon announced the launch of the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR +2.5 D and the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR multifocal toric +2.5 D IOLs at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting here.

According to a press release from the company, the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR +2.5 D IOL provides sharp distance vision with "an additional range of vision beyond a standard monofocal lens" that increases the candidates for a multifocal IOL.

"The AcrySof IQ ReSTOR +2.5 lens is our latest technology advancement in the family of AcrySof IQ ReSTOR IOLs. The AcrySof IQ ReSTOR family provides surgeons lens options to tailor treatment for their cataract patients' vision and lifestyle needs," Stuart Raetzman, head of Global Commercial Strategy, Alcon, said in the release.

"With the addition of the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR +2.5 IOL, Alcon continues to bring surgeons the broadest portfolio of presbyopia-correcting IOLs. The optic design of the new lens is made to optimize visual performance at intermediate and far distances," Raetzman said.
