"I realize now how much I was missing."
For Rebecca, everything was blurry, and her eyes were painfully sensitive to light. She had special trouble reading road signs. She was scared to have her grandchildren in the car with her, afraid that she might have an accident. And she was afraid that she was losing her sight permanently.
But after cataract surgery, in her words, "I can see everything. I can see all the lint in the house.... I don't know if that's good or bad!"
* Rebecca had AcrySof® ReSTOR® multifocal lenses implanted in both eyes. In FDA trials, four out of five patients who received the AcrySof® ReSTOR® multifocal lens in both eyes reported never needing to wear glasses.
