Fig. 51. This ReSTOR™ IOL is decentered superior and nasal within the pupil of this left eye by approximately 0.8 mm. The other eye of the same patient has a similar optic-pupil decentration. Both eyes demonstrate excellent ReSTOR™ performance. Because of the target-like nature of the ReSTOR™ lens, the asymmetry of patients' pupil and lens anatomy with respect to each other is apparent. In laboratory bench testing, the ReSTOR™ lens continues to function well and maintain its modulation transfer function with up to 1 mm decentration (personal communication, Alcon Surgical, 2003).
